First Look & Impressions of New Rivian R2 [Hands-On]!

i wish Rivian focus all their efforts into shipping this car in 2025 instead of 2026 🥲

Yo, your that 9to5Mac guy..

Supreme!👍

9to5Mac?

R2D2!

A pleased RJ Scaringe talking to prospective future customers (pointing to the new port): "Look, if you want to charge on the largest, most reliable network in the world, we added the NACS port so you no longer have to carry around an adapter with you."

Perplexed customer: "But... the port is on the right rear. The vast majority of Superchargers are V3's, and will still be for many years to come."

RJ, his smile gone: "Alright, so instead you'll have to carry an extension around with you. What's the big deal?"

Range Rover minimalist? In what world?

The best EV to come out this year ❤❤❤❤

When you sat in the R2, did the seating position feel higher than the Model Y?

You keep saying price will start at $47k, but at the reveal RJ said $45k. Did this price change already? “Outdoor tires”, do you mean “All Terrain”?

starting price is $45,000

It appears to be a much bigger vehicle than I initially thought. Although very nice, it's still essentially a large SUV when what we really need is a good range of smaller choices, especially in crowded urban areas.

love the styling but judging by the crowd it's a very niche product

Holy moly.. speak more relaxed. You are not on a run!

How does it compare size wise to a Toyota 4Runner and does the r2 have airbag suspension like the R1 t/s , thanks

, so it’s robust

How you talk is super annoying. I can’t watch this

How about a review of the latest MUNRO?

$45K starting price, not $47K…could be as low as $35K with state and federal rebates.

Frunk is power up, manual pull down, with a pull loop embedded on the inside.

Driver’s seat also folds flat, so you can put an inflatable mattress in for camping.

Glad you pointed out the lift gate shelf…not many reviews have. One other thing you missed is not only is there the signature flashlight in the driver’s side door, the passenger side has a mini charger/hand warmer.

I wish Tesla had similar designs. The Y looks ok but not quite SUV like.

There seems to be a few errors in the stats:

The base price is $45k not $47k and the base model does not get 300+ miles of range since it gets closer to 270mi. The front trunk is power opening but not power closing.

Looks amazing. I will likely trade in my R1S for this. I love the R1S, but I don't need a vehicle that big. Plus, two gloveboxes and that new steering wheel looks great. Native NACS makes me happy.

The driver seat also falls down - they specifically pointed that out

Goofy looking car, looks matter and I wouldn't buy this cartoon car 🚗

Got my reservation in on the day of the reveal! Can’t wait for the tour to come to Seattle!
