    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”?

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

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

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

    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
  • 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.
  • @toddbroeker8683
    Frunk is power up, manual pull down, with a pull loop embedded on the inside.
  • 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.

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

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

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