Rivian just added something every R2 reservation holder has been waiting for. Your account page now shows WHEN you'll be invited to order based on your config and spot in line. riviantrackr.com/news/rivian-...

Pet Mode 🐶 is coming to the R2 in the next OTA. Wassym confirmed it today with a pic of his pup Paddington riding shotgun. One of the bigger R1 features the R2 launched without, now off the missing list. riviantrackr.com/news/pet-mod...

Rivian said no R2 factory pickup back in May. Welp, an owner just dropped the Normal factory address into the order flow, and it went through, factory tour and all. riviantrackr.com/news/rivian-...

R2 config emails spiked last week, but deliveries stayed quiet. That looks like it is about to change. I am hearing Rivian is lining up a major R2 delivery push this week, with owners reporting appointments booked into early July. riviantrackr.com/news/rivian-...

R2 just crossed 2,000 VINs which is kind of nuts when you think about how recently the line started. Wrote up the week, including my R1T lease exit after two years. riviantrackr.com/news/the-sun...

Rivian has now built over 2,000 R2 vehicles. A friend taking delivery this week is sitting on a 209x VIN. Quick reminder, though, built does not mean delivered. Plenty of those early VINs are demo cars and validation units, not customer driveways. riviantrackr.com/news/rivian-...

Generic email going out to R2 owners who have an R2 ordered and have configured it. No VIN at this time.

After two years with my Gen 2 R1T I put together a full breakdown of what ownership and service were actually like, plus how I ended my lease early and moved to the R2 (well soon). youtu.be/2MecZ_f5ErQ

An R2 test mule just got spotted out in British Columbia. One of the first R2 sightings we have seen in Canada, and a solid sign for everyone up north who has been waiting on it. Meanwhile, US invites and deliveries have slowed way down this week. riviantrackr.com/news/rivian-...

IONNA Hits 115 Charging Sites Across 30 States With New Seffner, FL Opening riviantrackr.com/news/ionna-h...

The reason to order an R1 over an R2 was never the chip behind the screen. It was the third row, the towing, the range, and the clearance, and not one of those is something the R2 can grow into later. riviantrackr.com/news/why-ord...

Thinking about ordering an R1? The menu is down to four configs now. Here is exactly what each one can and cannot be built with, colors, wheels, interiors, and drive modes, all in one table. riviantrackr.com/news/rivian-...

Rivian Officially Drops the R1 Dual Standard Configuration riviantrackr.com/news/rivian-...

And just like that, the R1 Dual Standard is officially dead. With this, Rivian no longer offers an LFP battery option (which is a good thing, given all the issues it had). This also pushed R1 pricing up and farther from R2, widening the gap.

RJ says Rivian wants 80% of all service done via mobile vans. As someone on my third Rivian, I find mobile service is hands down the best part of owning a Rivian. But trying to force bigger repairs into a driveway just to hit a stat makes me a little nervous. riviantrackr.com/news/can-riv...

PSA for anyone trading a Rivian in on an R2 order. Rivian appraised my R1T at $66,520. Carvana offered $75,200 for the same truck. That is $8,680 just sitting there. Even Florida's sales tax break does not cover a gap that wide. Shop your trade-in first. riviantrackr.com/news/psa-get...

I've been a huge fan of @beccafarsace.bsky.social since her days at over at Vox and The Verge. It was an honor to meet her in Utah during the R2 media event and she just put her R2 video out. Check it out! www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3xZ...

Quieter week after the launch but still plenty going on. R2 configure emails are ramping up, Rivian laid off hundreds from service, and a Driver+ lawsuit landed. Plus my revamped Accessory Guide is live and I got my own R2 configure invite. riviantrackr.com/news/the-sun...

Why Rivian’s Boring Software Updates Are the Ones That Matter Most riviantrackr.com/news/why-riv...

Rivian's latest space has opened in West Palm Beach, Florida today! It's massive and I'll be checking it out in a few weeks when I head down to South Florida. rivian.com/spaces/west-...

Rivian is now facing a class action over Driver+, with plaintiffs claiming it promised hands-free Level 3 driving on the Gen 1 R1T and R1S that will never arrive. Worth reading with R2 and Autonomy+ in mind. riviantrackr.com/news/rivian-...

Rivian R2: every spec that matters before you order. I’ve created the ultimate buyer’s guide to the Rivian R2. riviantrackr.com/news/rivian-...

R2 configure emails are picking up a week after launch and reservation holders are flooding social media with their builds. If you are holding a reservation, keep an eye on your inbox. Invites are going out faster and your turn is probably close. riviantrackr.com/news/rivian-...

Rivian just laid off hundreds from its service and customer teams, less than 2% of staff, exactly one week after R2 deliveries started. riviantrackr.com/news/rivian-...

Rivian Partners With ChargeScape to Bring Utility Managed Charging to Owners riviantrackr.com/news/rivian-...

Rivian's new Rocklin location puts charging, retail, service, and a demo R2 all in one spot for the first time. Friend of the site Mark went to the grand opening and shared his take on what it means for how Rivian scales into R2. riviantrackr.com/news/rivian-...

Just gave my Rivian Accessory Guide a big upgrade! → Filter by vehicle (R1T / R1S / R2), category, and price → Sort by price or name Plus exclusive discounts for RivianTrackr readers. Check it out riviantrackr.com/rivian-acces...

I know I'm RivianTrackr but I do look forward to comparing how the R2 compares to the BMW iX3, Volvo EX60 and of course Model Y. Contrary to popular belief, I can be unbiased and present facts :)

The Sunday Drive is up. R2 first drive, ordering opens, and RivianOS 2.0 is fast. riviantrackr.com/news/the-sun...

Lots of people say Rivian's autonomy timeline is impossible. RJ just put real dates on it at the Masters of Scale podcast, Point-to-Point this year and eyes off next year. I am still bullish, I've included my take in the article. riviantrackr.com/news/rivian-...

The Rivian R2 Drops FM Radio for iHeartRadio riviantrackr.com/news/the-riv...

Working on an article on the first R2 owners, not influencers, who got their R2 already. If you are one of them, DM me :)

New editorial up. I talked R2 autonomy with Rivian's James Philbin recently, what ships now and where it's all headed. If you don't know if you should buy now or wait, check out my editorial and video below. riviantrackr.com/news/what-r2...

Every R2 ships with 2026.20 out of the box. RivianOS 2.0 is the centerpiece, though Universal Hands-Free on 3.5 million miles of road is what you will want to test first. riviantrackr.com/2026-20/

Good batch of R2 gear just landed in the Gear Shop. Wheels, crossbars, a sunshade, mats, screen protectors, a mattress, and a compact spare. Broke it all down with pricing. riviantrackr.com/news/rivian-...

Rivian's R3X is a couple years out. RJ Scaringe basically confirmed it to The Drive in Park City. Says they already know the timeline, just not sharing it yet. riviantrackr.com/news/rivian-...

RivianOS 2.0 First Look and Why It Feels So Fast riviantrackr.com/news/riviano...

There's many Rivian R2 videos out there today but this one is mine. youtu.be/5MG-96weg6I

Rivian's Universal Hands-Free 2.0 drops in Q3. The big one for me is stop light and stop sign handling, which is what finally takes this off the highway. Auto Park and On-Ramp to Off-Ramp are in there too. Point to Point still late 2026. riviantrackr.com/news/univers...

I've updated my Rivian R2 Buyer's Guide with: - Leasing information - R2 standard date changes - Borealis, Forest Green, and Coastal Cloud date changes - Trim breakdown table - Added details on my first drive riviantrackr.com/news/rivian-...

The official Rivian Instagram account is current live with RJ and Jeff discussing all things R2: www.instagram.com/rivianoffici...

I’m not making excuses for Rivian, but RivianOS 2.0 (which launches with R2) is a complete rewrite of the whole OS. These features ARE coming and will most likely be there by the time you get your own R2.

R2 Performance lease numbers dropped and they basically match the Model Y Performance. Both $57,990, payments like sixty bucks apart. You can finally lease a new Rivian for Model Y money. Broke it all down vs the Model Y and the base R1S below. riviantrackr.com/news/r2-perf...

The R2 launches missing a few familiar features. No Rivian Assistant, Climate Hold, or Pet Mode, limited Gear Guard, and no SiriusXM, Casting, or YouTube yet. Rivian says some are at least a month out. riviantrackr.com/news/r2-laun...

The Entry Rivian R2 Standard Now Starts at $44,990, Arrives Summer 2027 with 275 Miles of Range riviantrackr.com/news/the-ent...

I spent two days with the production Rivian R2 and got to drive it on road and off road before it goes on sale today. Short version, it is really good. Supply is going to be the problem, not demand. riviantrackr.com/news/rivian-...

You can now book Rivian R2 demo drives by visiting rivian.com/demo-drive. Drives begin as soon as 9AM ET today!
