Rivian posts Q2 2026 deliveries and lays out H2 guidance around the R2 ramp, reservation pages start showing invite windows, and a used R2 Performance already hits the resale market over sticker. Plus Pet Mode, LiDAR in the wild, and Rivian Care reaching 31 states.
The first used Rivian R2 is already up for sale, a Performance Launch Package on Cars.com asking 79,900 dollars. That is over 19,000 above new, and it probably will not be the last one to move at a premium while delivery timelines stay tight.
Rivian just told Canadian R2 reservation holders when to expect their first order invitations, and the answer is the first half of 2027. Still no Canadian price though, since the old $66,500 CAD figure got pulled a while back. Here is what the update actually means if you are waiting up north.
Rivian raised its full year guidance to 65,000 to 70,000, but the first half only covered 22,559 of it. The back half now has to nearly double the Q2 pace, and R2 is the only thing that can get it there.
R2 deliveries have started. Rivian moved 12,194 vehicles in Q2, beat its outlook, and bumped its full year guidance up on the strength of it.
