As an owner of an R1T, right now I’m thinking the 2026 delivery date of an R2 may be a nice replacement for my 2021 BS BL. Mind you we have home solar so multiple EVs are a good fit for us as long as they are beach-capable, which the Rivians are. .

That Dodge post of a fast car that can go 0-60 in 3.3 looks silly when these do it in less than 3 seconds. And if the R3X is what it looks like, it’ll put some pressure on Jeep and Bronco, at least the Sport.

I really like the look of the R2. I’m not sure about the R3. I think I would prefer the back to be squared off like the R2 rather than that angled rear hatch.

Great looking wheels on the R3X.

More ugly electric stuff.

Rivian needs to do something, they bleed cash, investors don't like billion dollar losses year after year.

Yeah, I think the general feeling from Rivian owners is that postponing the $2.5 Billion GA plant makes fiscal sense. But Rivian owners are a selfish bunch and the reality is we will see our R2 vehicles earlier coming out of the Normal IL plant so who are you going to believe!

I put a reservation down for the R2. It gets the same range I'm basically getting now, another inch of ground clearance off the bat, and max tire size of 32in. I'll be in the market for a new car within the next 1-2 years. It's exciting to see what the Scout and Recon will also debut like. Toyota will also have their variant out as well. I'll put deposits down on all of them as they get announced and see how it pans out in real life.

Now if Ford does what people expect and cut the MSRP on Big Broncos and bring the price back down to where it should be I'll just buy one of those lol.

   That nice simple profile reminds me of my '77 VW Rabbit. I like it, too bad it's an EV.

VW and Lancia vibes. Too bad all these new interiors are just big screen TVs. Looks bad

I would love if it actually did end up being 45k. I want a plug in hybrid for my next car, but the rivians have really grown on me

My wife and had a hundred reasons not to buy an EV. Then we fell I love with the Rivian R1T. Really well engineered from the ground up and just fun to drive.

I've dabbled in hybrid technology for the past 3 years with my Tucson but want to go back to full ICE. Why? Because driving a hybrid has resulted in me always looking to get the little EV light on the dash to light up. It's like a game, and I find myself feathering the throttle and coasting as much as possible to get that little damn EV light to come on. It has completely taken away the joy of driving.

I could go full electric, but several factors (apartment dweller, so no home charging; lack of sufficient charging infrastructure; time it takes to charge; and yes, range anxiety) keep me off the bandwagon for now. I want to go back to a simple internal combustion engine that does not have a fricking EV light on the dashboard. I need mental help....
