R2 clay model "revealed" under blanket cover!

[iM_R]

So, R2 "revealed"on IG stories, but still under the blanket. I Must say, that it looks much shorter, than I anticipated (which is good IMO). It looks like something close to 4,5meters. But still, it is only a clay model under blanket. I cannot wait for unveiling this one!

Torch light, front lighting will be same as R1

ok, so whoever came up with this concept might have had some inside knowledge. i know its under the covers and only a silhouette, but sure looks like this mock up of the SUV and maybe this is what the truck will look like as well.

It actually looks a little bigger than I was expecting. Probably 190 - 195 inches. Maybe about a foot longer than the Model Y.

The clay model looks like an upright Subaru.

But man, I really hope Rivian survives to get to the production of these. Such a cool product and company, we need more competition and not just for legacy OEMs. I was a bit sad when they pushed it back a year. Fingers crossed, let's go!

It's not going to be more car like, it's going to be smaller but carry a lot of the same look the R1 does. Anyone could make renders under that assumption. The R2S render here is making an assumption they were going to reduce the roof line ratio and I don't think they did.

Agreed. i just hope it has MUCH better ground clearance.

Almost 100% these were AI-created BS.

I'm getting more Defender vibes from it, which is good.

Are we thinking 3 row option, or just 2 row? I was thinking it would be 2 row, but it does look bigger than I thought it would be.

While I love my R1T, I would not have a problem with a smaller pickup. Especially if it is fast and can really scoot!

Who knows. They have trademarked 14 names.

"...Among these 14 new names – which exclude R1T and R1S – there are six with R2: R2T, R2S, R2A, R2C, R2R, and R2X.....Rivian has also trademarked R3, R4, and R5 names. "

If they are smart, they will get the more affordable nice R2S out ASAP. That's the biggest market out there right now.

There is NOT much of a market for small trucks right now, i.e. Maverick competitors. Heck, a larger truck would do better even.
