@Hilbe If my calculations are correct, $1495 destination means there’s a real chance the all-in price squeaks under $70k.
English
Yes, I got charged a $1,800 destination fee taking delivery at the Rivian plant. The R1 destination fee is now $1,895 and the R2 destination fee will be $1,495.
Chris Hilbert@Hilbe
Friendly Reminder: You can request a factory delivery of your Rivian. They have a delivery center in the rear of the plant with a Gear Shop too. I did it on my R1T and it was a blast!

The new Rivian R1 interactive Builder, powered by Unreal Engine for a more immersive 3D experience. Coming soon to R2!!
English
@Hilbe All I see are two expansion slots with off-color plastic.
What are those for?
I bet 2027 brings back pop-out windows + chromotic glass as options.
English
R2 Premium vs Standard controls by the roof. No drop rear glass.
English
@RivianTrackr They really footgunned themselves naming the car "Sony Honda Mobility Afeela 1".
Nothing but a mouthful of incorporation.
English
To quote a recent article I wrote...
"The companies pulling back weren’t committed to EVs in the first place."

Motor1@Motor1com
Afeela bit sad saying this, but Honda and Sony are killing its two upcoming Afeela EVs, and the joint partnership is under review: motor1.com/news/791045/ho…
English
@RivianUpdates Maybe though: they've said a few times R2 shares zero parts with R1. Hopefully the picked a better component for that sensor or the surface conduction is better on piano black plastic (frunk/drop glass) than painted body panels.
English
This “button” is the same capacitive touch setup Rivian uses on the R1 charge port door.
That system has been pretty finicky in my experience, so I’m a bit cautious here. Hopefully this implementation is improved.
That said, having an exterior frunk release at all is a huge usability win.
Rivian Wave@RivianWave
Love that Rivian R2 still includes a physical button to open the frunk. This makes the frunk 100x more useful.

Ok hear me out...
@Rivian ended the Compass Yellow color years ago.
But now — every Rivian taxi can be Compass Yellow.

A fleet of R2 Robotaxis is coming exclusively to @Uber. ⚡🌿 Today, we announced a partnership to help both companies accelerate their autonomous vehicle plans across 25 cities in the US, Canada and Europe by the end of 2031. rivn.co/uber

@RivianTrackr Some people like Sonic.
Some people like Doctor Robotnik.
But even AI knows which car the Eggman drives.
English
I love all EVs and I’m not looking for fights. If you want to say the Rivian stadium lights are ugly, go ahead. If I want to say the Model Y looks like bloated egg, that’s okay.
My account is not a place for hate or personal insults. If you come at me with insults or calling me a liar, that’s an instant block.
There’s no room for that stuff here.

@ChadMoran @OutofSpecDetail Legacy auto: we signed a contract in 2005 to buy 30 million start buttons through 2035. We’re using them in every vehicle.
English
Imagine designing an EV and having meetings about putting a start/stop button in an electric car 🤦♂️

The en-shittification of @harvest has been getting me down.
PDF generation isn't working. It prompts clients to "pay online" when I don't have that configured.
And these stupid AI twitter replies that get truncated every single time right after before the actual advice.

@sebastiaanluca Hello, Thanks for reaching out. This response was generated by our helpful AI assistant to provide you with a quick answer to your question. We’re sorry to hear you’ve been running into trouble. Please share a few specifics so we can investigate. **What we need from you:**...

@Hilbe Rivian should be quantifying three different timelines of "take rate":
Reservations redeemed for launch vehicles
vs
Reservations redeemed after Coastal Cloud interior
vs
Reserverations redeemed after Lidar + RAP1
More people will hold and eventually take, than take launch.
English
With the announced R2 pricing, I think Rivian will have a high take rate from reservation holders. Agree or disagree?
English
The one thing @Rivian should change is wheel/trim access.
Blocking the 20" bicolor wheel (left) on Performance trim is a crime against everyone saw + loved it like that for 2 years.
R2 is teen hippo. Chonky squircle beats spider webs. I want the wagon-wheel + butterfly effect.

@ChadMoran @Dreadknight25 @Rivian @RJScaringe @RivianTrackr @Hilbe @Mikekantorski @itskyleconner @RivianUpdates Do it...
Scrambler 800 with the last air-cooled Monster engine has been my city bike since 2015. Love that thing.
English
@Dreadknight25 @Falkowski @Rivian @RJScaringe @RivianTrackr @Hilbe @Mikekantorski @itskyleconner @RivianUpdates I need to get my Monster running again.
English
I ride motorcycles. After 17 years in the wind, I’m buying my first car.
Today, @Rivian nailed the R2. Be proud @RJScaringe.
Deep hat tips to 2 years of enthusiasm from: @RivianTrackr @Hilbe @Mikekantorski @itskyleconner @RivianUpdates @ChadMoran
2024-03 res, so 2027?
English
@dzzo716 @Rivian @RJScaringe @RivianTrackr @Hilbe @Mikekantorski @itskyleconner @RivianUpdates @ChadMoran It’s ready for all those hockey bags. So many people are going to get this.
English
@Falkowski @Rivian @RJScaringe @RivianTrackr @Hilbe @Mikekantorski @itskyleconner @RivianUpdates @ChadMoran I said today that this will be the first EV I buy. Living in Buffalo doesn’t allow year round cycles, so cars have been a constant.
English
@RivianTrackr Really interested in whether they’re plastic or stainless/aluminum. Only 10% of a hope for metal due to cost, but would be really happy if they got that right based on how poorly (especially rubberized plastic) holds up on mouse wheels.
English
I can’t wait to play more with the Haptic Halo steering wheel controls.
Rivian@Rivian
Sit back and relax. R2 arrives tomorrow.
English
@Hilbe I'll happily maximize their profit with R2 + Lidar + green paint + R3's tan interior.

There's no way in hell the $45,000 R2 comes "shortly thereafter" unless that translates to 1+ years. It's a different battery pack all together and sold at the lowest profit margin. They need to absolutely be milking buyers/margins with higher trims until there are no takers remaining. The order should be Performance Dual Motor Large, Dual Motor Large, RWD Large, and then finally RWD Standard.
