They didn’t give us official numbers, but I’m guessing it’ll come in under the R1T (43.1 inches) and R1S (43.0 inches). Even so, the fact that Rivian is already showing it off in action says a lot. I’ve seen a lot of the R2 teasers over the past few months, but this one hits…

With credits and incentives, EVs even dipped below the average price of gas cars. Now that cushion is gone.…

RJ just dropped a big one on Instagram: the very first photo of a production-intent Rivian R2 towing a trailer out in the wild. Seeing this stage of testing gets me hyped because towing is such an important real-world capability for so many of us. Rivian hasn’t shared the official numbers yet, so we don’t know the exact capacity of the trailer in the photo or what the final tow rating will be for the R2. But it’s fun to…
