...being a big Tesla fan, I'm very happy to see this nice advancement for Rivian. I have an R2 on order already. Love the size, price and adventure readiness. Here is the big thing. Rivian is having a tough time as a company and has not made a profit yet. This moment reminds me of when Tesla introduced the model 3, which turned the company around nicely and made them profitable. I'm really really hoping the R2 and R3 do the same for Rivian. I have a feeling it will. ....time to invest in Rivian again at bargain basement prices. RJ just needs to get their manufacturing process tightened and the new plant back on track.

r3 looks awesome

Also the windshield wiper button on the turn signal stalk must have also been relocated.

@@omphiledirero5622 Tesla started with stalks behind the steering wheel that control wipers, turn signals, and putting the car in gear; however, starting a few years ago with the Model S, they removed the stalks and started putting those functions on either touch-buttons on the steering wheel or on the touch screen itself. Cybertruck has that 'feature', along with the Model X, and the newly refreshed Model 3. The Model Y is the only Tesla you can still get with stalks, and not for much longer! I have a 2018 Model 3 and a 2023 Rivian R1T because of stupid things like removing the stalks. Tesla's mantra of the "the best part is no part" has been taken too far. They have stopped caring what the customer wants and are now in the business of innovation for the sake of innovation. Rivian pays attention to what is usable - I far prefer my Rivian to my Tesla.

Love the look of the R3. Retro modern. Still looks like a Rivian, and yet something else entirely. Betting it'll be super fun to drive.

Very MK1 Golf from the rear 3/4 view. Liking that...

R3x is fantastic. Spectacular design. Exactly what I’ve been wanting in an ev.

R3 has Mk1 Gold vibes from at the rear. R2 is the love child of a Bronco and Grand Cherokee

The R3 is giving early Fiat Panda styling vibes, but as a 4 door. Very similar rear hatch shape, very similar side line for the hood, and I'd say not the same, but similar bumper designs. I personally find it more interesting and better looking than the R2, or really either of the two current Rivian models.

nice we found a human with common sense in the section

For shareholders, the only thing that matters is profit. And guess what? Rivian loses on every car they sell. This is true with more expensive models, which implies higher margins. And will be even more true with these smaller cheaper ones and with even narrower margins. I love their cars and especially their design language. But I wouldn't buy their shares at even a fraction of the current price because they just can't get the business side of things right. And before anyone says something stupid, this is not exclusive to Rivian. ALL manufacturers still can't profit from EVs except Tesla. Hopefully they will all find a way. The more competition, the better!

i love the design language of Rivian, and the R3 is just a cool mix of futuristic and retro. Strong VW Golf vibe on the back. Nice.

As a Tesla owner, I love both these models and I think Rivian nailed the design. If they can get profitable, i will definitely be buying one of these two - likely the R2.

I would wager that it's quite a dangerous thing to solidify the spec in 2024 for an EV that's due to be released in 2027. So much will have changed by then that it'll be outdated before it even hits the road.

A couple of observations. First, when you closed the driver's door on the R2 it really rattles, also the rear gate does not appear the fit properly. Hopefully these are "pre" production issues. Since the floor pan is the top of the battery, I hope they do some salt water testing. You ask why? Those who live in the salt belt drag salt contaminated snow into the cabin. I'd hate to think someone thinks floor mats are the solution to that problem and I hope this briny water does not find its way into the battery pack over time.

Hard to believe per Forbes rivians burned up $19,000,000,000 in cash already since 2019 and only produced about 80k vehicle's. Plus they promised during the 2021 ipo to hit 1,000,000 unit's a year in production by 2030. Lucid made some similar ludicrous claims to.
