2025 Rivian R1T - Large. Delivered on November 23, 2024.
Occupation
Retired
I took my R1T into the Canton SC today for routine service (preparing for a series of road trips over the next several months). While there, Jack Tighe (Rivian Field Sales Advisor, and really nice guy) offered to let me test one of the demo R2's they had on the lot. I have to say, the Catalina Cove was a STUNNER, and I got to take it out for a quick spin. Solid, quiet, peppy. A little tighter behind the wheel (versus the cavernous R1T), but acceptable. I really liked it a lot! They also had a black R2, but it just...reminded me too much of my Dad's old, bland Ford... blah.

I am definitely going to consider the upgrade when the 2nd Gen R2 (with LiDAR) is available. YES, I want the LiDAR. I ain't getting any younger.

Kudos to the Canton SC team; the R1T was done and charged in short order! They even plugged it into the Rivian DCFC!
