I wish they'd bring them to the DC auto show. Unfortunately our auto show is put on by the Dealership Network; I don't think any car manufacturers are invited unless they're a member of "the old boys club". 😑

Still ordered myself a Rivian shirt. Gotta represent somehow. 😆

Today I had a chance to tell the Rivian employee at the auto show to let his boss know that my family is not happy that the R3 was pulled.
His said I wasn't the first one voicing frustration over the missing R3 to him :angel:

think the R2 is a great size for most Americans [and Canadians]
It feels about the same size as the Bronco Sport
we drove from Toronto to Detroit to personally see and size-up
the Rivian R2……we both loved it!
I feel it is perfectly sized for a couple, especially for Canadians,
who are not gob-smacked by overtly large SUV’s that the American public loves!

The Rivian R2 WILL replace my 2018 Tesla 3 LR!

If you see how the average American drives, you'd appreciate having additional crumple zones.

As a Canamerican, I endorse this post.

You're totally right, perfect for Canadians too. And speaking of gobsmacked, I was gobsmacked by the number of Teslas in Vancouver when I was there last. Holy goodness! Every other car was a Model Y or Model 3. I think the R2 and R3 will be exceptionally popular in BC ... and Quebec ... and Ontario!

My wife and I have 2 reservations (both for R2) and I might be ready to give up my R1T by then. My R1T has been my favorite vehicle of all time, but the R2 might just be perfect for my urban/mountain life here in the PNW where I don't really need all that the truck brings and would enjoy the smaller form factor overall. Can't wait to drive one!
