Rivian is building a massive new 40,000 square foot showroom, service center, and charging hub right off I-4 across from the Millenia Mall in Orlando. I stopped by the site today and construction hasn't gone vertical yet, but once it does this thing is going to move fast.
Rivian is heading back to Coachella both weekends of the festival, April 10-12 and 17-19, and this time they're bringing the R2 along. If you're going and have been curious about the car, this is a pretty easy way to see it in person before deliveries even start.
Rivian has confirmed that R2 first drives are coming in June at your local Rivian Space or Service Center and yes, I'll finally be getting behind the wheel for the first time too.
A Better Route Planner relaunched its website this week with a fresh look and a new EV Comparison tool that lets you stack up to three EVs side by side. Rivian acquired ABRP back in June 2023, and the platform keeps getting better.
Rivian is adding a dedicated battery health screen via OTA, giving owners a direct look at state of health, max potential charge rate, and current charge rate, all from the About screen in vehicle settings, no service appointment needed.
