An R2 test mule was spotted out in British Columbia, one of the first R2 sightings in Canada. A good sign for buyers up north as the US rollout cools off this week.
The R1 order menu is down to four configurations. Here is how Dual Large, Dual Max, Tri Max, and Quad Max compare across every color, wheel, interior, and drive mode, and which ones unlock as you move up the lineup.
Rivian has stopped selling the R1 Dual Standard on the R1T and R1S, ending the last LFP battery option in the R1 lineup and widening the price gap between R1 and R2.
Rivian is doing nearly 60% of service via mobile vans and trucks, aiming for 80% to beat service center bottlenecks. Having experienced this with three Rivians, it’s incredibly convenient. However, pushing complex repairs to driveways just to hit a target risks hurting quality.
Quieter week after the R2 launch. Configure emails ramp up, Rivian lays off hundreds from its service teams, and a Driver+ lawsuit lands over Gen 1 hands-free claims. Plus a new all in one location, the ChargeScape partnership, and my revamped Accessory Guide is live.
