I found another role at Rivian highlighting steer-by-wire and rear-wheel steering. I think it's safe to say these are on the future vehicle roadmap.
Wednesday April 22 is Earth Day. What are you going to do for Earth Day this year? Check in your local community - many municipalities and/or businesses offer free or discounted trees.
R2 Block Party Chicago details below!
I overlayed the tornado path on top of satellite imagery using NWS. It looks like the EF1 tornado originated by the vendor supply park and went right through the R1 and R2 factory. Insane there wasn't more damage and/or injuries. It's a miracle to be honest.
Whelp…Chicago R2 road trip testing.
On the upper top line, look at the starting point road name. Rivian got hit by a tornado!
🚨 Breaking News: R2 Factory Storm Damage 🚨
The Midwest had serious storms last night and building 2 in Normal - the R2 factory - sustained damage according to a Reddit post. You can see the roof caved in from the attached photo.

The R2 compact spare tire appears to be the same as the R1S compact spare tire. Expect to pay $755 for peace of mind.

Will Rivian offer a software unlock of Performance for R2 Premium?

Rivian filed for a patent on the UI adjustment of the vehicle display. I think this just incorporates all the recent UI changes we saw come with the launch of Gen 2.
The animated R2 added to the Rivian homepage is sick.
Another reason to say Apple (iOS) is better than Google (Android) - the Apple Watch being the only wearable device that's a Rivian Digital Key. I don't make the rules, sorry Android fans.
Got the call about replacing my 12V in the R1S. This is the second time…
The international version of the R2 website is still the 2 year old design. It's like stepping into a time capsule. Maybe it'll get a refresh soon?
Updates coming on Rivian Insurance and Rivian Care!
The Network Reliability Report on @RivianRoamer shows EA higher than Tesla which is shocking. This data and score is generated by Rivian using fleet vehicles DCFC sessions. I'm not surprised RAN and IONNA are at the top.
Next-generation? Could this be R4/R5?
I’m doing pretty well on my lease. 12,000 miles/year and started in May. I’ll put 2,000 on it though driving to AZ.
Rivian updated the R2 website and mini configurator last night.
An updated version of the Rivian App is available for iOS!
PREDICTION: I'm going to go out on a limb and say Rivian will eventually offer a <$45,000 variant of R2. Over time, Rivian will continue to optimize costs - scale, manufacturing efficiencies, parts consolidation, etc - and also has options to de-content the vehicle further.
🚨 Rivian R1S/R1T R2 Paint Color: Half Moon Grey 🚨
Rivian has added Half Moon Grey - and R2 paint color - to the R1 lineup!
Today, Rivian was awarded a patent to use the onboard microphones to listen to the vehicle to diagnose issues. This will definitely help with service and problem diagnosis.
