Yup, reserved. Will see what happens in 2026!

Reserved too. I've always liked the R1 but not willing to spend that much

Translation - hey you didn't mind the early VIN bugs the first time, why not do it again?

so i can't really tell the size diff between r2 and r3. i think i prefer the r3 but you can't reserve that.

I reserved for a R2! I had my mind made up for a GX550 over a Rivian R1S but a R2 will give me everything I need and a lot cheaper than the GX550.

The R3x reminds me of the Lancia Delta Integrale Evo 2...not sure why.

Like your Ioniq5, it's giving modern day Lancia Integrale vibes that I just love!! I don't like the details of the R3, but can totally see this doing very well once on sale.

I believe they said the R3 is 5 inches shorter than the R2.

There have been unflattering comps to an old Lada too

R3 is going to be built in Georgia but they've put that plant in hiatus until the R2 launch. I wouldn't expect it until 27 at the earliest

GFerg

Ohhh right! Totally can see Lada too. Hahahaha

I heard on the news that the R2 will be built in the Normal, IL plant initially until the Georgia plant is up and running. This should be good for jobs in the central Illinois (Bloomington-Normal) area.

Not just that but they’re putting Georgia on hiatus for a bit. The pause will free up $2.25B in cash for Rivian

Rivian needs to get this out ahead of schedule. Here's a good comparison Tesla vs Rivian margins, this is not good.
