I couldn’t find any info on the R2 when I went to Rivian’s site other than a few photos.

That means the engine will be on for 350 miles if you go to max proposed limit of 500 miles. Gas consumption will be 70% of your fuel bill should you tend to drive to max range often. Since I prefer to use electricity more than gas, I do believe the full EV is a better option for me. Are we...

I have an EV now. No worries about range. Was just hoping the hybrid would have a longer EV only range. I will likely switch to the battery only version but I'm going to wait a bit I think.

Nice. I’m in Ottawa.

I was wondering if folks here were also considering the R2.

The biggest unknown for me is the EV range for model with the Harvester.

This is good to know and I’m comfortable with this as stated.

I’ve never tried to bring a vehicle across but if you think it’s possible, I’m certainly willing to look into it!

At this point, my Traveler with the Harvester option might not be the best option for me. Should I reserve both or would it best to wait and change it at confirmation time should I desire the non-Harvester option?

Might be a nightmare for us Canadians trying to import it. I can easily see spending a day at the border trying to get it imported with all the certifications, taxes and duties. Too bad though, I’d definitely be up for factory pickup.

I believe you’re wrong. Pretty sure it’s 43.5%.

Thanks for the reply. Most of my trips will be 150 miles there and back. I don’t put very many miles on a vehicle. Maybe 8000 per year. It’s too early I suppose to make any decisions now but it sounds like the battery-only option might be better for me.

The body shop is the largest building. Are they expecting a lot of work after the vehicles roll off the assembly line? :)

What are the experts thinking? 75% of the normal size? Half? Too early to say>

It's a voyage of discovery lol

I put a reservation down for the model with the Harvester. Now I'm a bit worried. I thought that the non-hybrid model would get approx 300 miles range on batteries and the Harvester option would just boost that range. Now it seems the hybrid model will have a substantially shorter EV range and...

I'd be happy with just cruise control. FSD on our Tesla is more dangerous than helpful and it gives you strikes when doing simple things like looking down to grab your coffee. It brakes for no reason and will turn on its high beams when other cars are approaching. It's stressful to use. We've...

So then the Harvester option isn't an option for when you're moving at say highway speed. Unless it can charge the batteries faster than they are being used, it would only be good when stopped or at very low speeds. Do I understand that correctly?

I’m not familiar with how this hybrid system will work. Is that what happens? You can drive no faster than the generator can charge the battery?

My understanding is the gas engine will not directly connect to the drivetrain. It's for battery charging only so no impact on performance.
