I did not hear early 2026, I heard first half 2026, let’s temper our expectations.

Start saying early 2026 and January 3rd people will start saying they are late. 😉

Some people, witnessed in another thread, have already convinced themselves of their own wishful lie—and telling others "Q1". Rivian have always said "first half". Late Q2 is still "first half".

Yeah, if validation builds are happening now, it’ll be ~12 months. Let’s hope for May ‘26.

Meanwhile, Rivian seems to have forgotten about gen2 quad r1. I'm gonna perpetuate a rumor I heard that they won't be shipping those until Q4. All hands are on deck for R2 to be on time.

I believe so as it was in the reveal last year and would simplify manufacture to not have two variants. Also differentiates against competition like the Subaru Trailseeker which starts at 45k with dual motor but no glass roof.
