I'm seeing 3 different versions of the R2 on Google Images. Which one will it be? From a strictly investor standpoint, I prefer the 3rd version. This general style is hyper popular (Q5, Macan, X3, etc), at least here in Utah. The 2nd photo looks too much like a Chevy Avalanche IMO.

Hopefully none of those... maybe the first one.

I think they are going to target the off-roady small to medium crossover market for the SUV and a small sized pickup competitor that's similarly off-roady enough. They are certainly targeting the Subaru/Toyota consumer that's seeking an EV offering that's light off-road ready.

Hopefully we see a Crosstrek to Rav4 sized crossover that's got some of the offroad capabilities of the R1, but in a cheaper package.

Then a Maverick sized truck with a usable bed and decent range.

#1 is the best of the three but it could easily be none of these.

All of those are terrible and AI generated. The white one looks like a BMW X6 which is the worst.

Squint your eyes or cover the grille and that third one looks like most vehicles I see on the road. I don't think this is going to be the right way for Rivan to go.

Make it a wagon and we’ll be a 2-Rivian household.

One of the SC employees here in Phoenix said they’re planning on another truck with a full-sized bed and a smaller crossover-like SUV. Take that for what you will…
