R2 for the wife, R3X for me. Masterful product planning.

R3 is the Model Y / Subie marriage I've been begging for since I got my first EV. Wish they'd shared price (sub-$40????), but hot damn the design is a slam dunk.

Now they just have to survive long enough to sell some.

This.

This is the vehicle I want. I still want to know its exact size, but it certainly appears to be smaller than our Mach-E, which is just a *BIT* bigger than we'd like. (I miss my BMW i3.)

And it reminds me a *LOT* of the styling of my first car - a Subaru Justy. Which, really, it's the spiritual successor of.

The R3 reveal...damn, nice surprise. It's almost impossible for car makers to keep even small updates on existing cars under wraps, let alone the existence of a whole new car. Bravo!

That R3 is giving me strong 1st and 2nd gen GTI vibes in the greatest way. They will sell a ton of these. The lift back rear glass is a fantastic touch that allows users to maximize the interior space. I'm also glad to hear that it will be offered with a tri-motor, giving us performance minded shoppers a nod and thus, showing that this isn't simply a value play, but rather, a fully baked vehicle that can stand on its own.

The R3's URL is "Rivian.com/msp" - "Medium Small Platform" maybe?

R3 reminds of the Lada Niva, which I saw in Taiwan as a child in 1981 and it stuck in my mind since. A 2 door hatch with diamond plate floors and knobby tires.

How were they able to keep the 3 under wraps

By purposely leaking R2 info. They played us like a fiddle, those sexy bastards.

They are uploading some R3 content on the website now but no reserve button and no release date, just explore button. Maybe coming later like 27 or even 28 unfortunately. Much more interested in R3 than R2

The R3 button on the menu doesn't work for me - anyone else? Tried multiple browsers.

I think this thing is super cool, and I hope it sells like hot cakes, but does anyone remember the Dodge Omni?! I’m just saying…

Seems to be they got their inspiration from a legend,

I think we hugged their site to death...

I’m getting strong Yugo vibes.
