Rivian's R2, R3 and R3X launch event in 5 minutes
Ғылым және технология
For years, Rivian has been promising to make a smaller, more affordable electric SUV that will sit alongside its pricier R1T and R1S vehicles, and that day is finally here. The R2 won’t go into production until 2026, but when it does it will come with an estimated range of 330 miles, a 0-60mph time of three seconds, and a starting price of $45,000. We also got a look at the R3 the R2’s “sibling,” and the R3X, the R3’s performance trim which has a wider stance and smaller crossover shape. Here’s everything you missed from the launch event. #Cars #EVs #Transportation

Driven model 3 and model Y for a combined 160k miles and I’ll say that the “cruise control” is terrible. Lacking radar tech, in my experience, Tesla is plagued with phantom breaking which is a terrible thing to experience. I don’t even use it anymore.
@vikram.SumerSingh

@@marshallcray completely agree. After my second instance of phantom braking on a busy freeway, I have stopped using Autopilot. Sometimes hubris of a successful leader (Elon) comes in the way of acknowledging that yes we’re wrong about only using camera based tech and we need to go back until we find an alternative.
That R3 back looks so good.

Really clean, simple and cool designs, love to see them here in Europe, specially the R3 and R3X.
Please put the charge port on the rear left. Mach E videos abound with people having trouble using Tesla chargers because of their incompatible placement. Ford is already saying they'd fix that. Having a standard for this would be very helpful. It would also be useful for those of us who installed home chargers for Tesla when we upgrade to Rivian.

They also will ship with NACS port (same as Tesla)
In my opinion, Rivian always look better than Telsa
Dang! Excited for these and making them more affordable for th masses
The R2 is dope but but the R3/R3X stole the show. I love the hatchback design and the features they added to it with the hatch. Definitely looking forward to hearing more about them in the future.
R3 is such a love letter to the automobile
So beautiful.....R2 with Tri-motors for me! Canceling my R1S.
R3 looks fantastic :-)
These better fly off the shelf
What’s the R2 towing capacity? What’s the inside cargo space with and without the second row seats? Have they reengineered the cell phone charging setup?

Theres an MQHD video where they show the new phone charger and Steve-o makes a joke about it actually working. I dont think they mentioned towing for R2, I was waiting for that.
Yes, Im really liking the R3!
Great new ideas ! Fresh air in EV cars ! Thank you Rivian
Great stuff. Can't wait to see the electric vehicles available by the end of the decade.
Oh, so the numbers are how many years you need to wait before they are released?
Did they cut the r3 price out?
So what will be the price of R3?
Very excited for the R3
The crowd cheered for everything lol
Love it! It's like the range rover and Volkswagen had a baby
2:37 I just realized my main beef with those headlights isn't so much their verticality, rather their narrow spacing, which gives a sort of vacant-eyed look. If they'd shift each one 5" or 6" outward it could look a lot more balanced.
R2 is the sweetspot for an SUV. Close in size to a RAV4 and CRV. And honestly I'd imagine with options it'll cost mid 60s.
So, are these new vehicles coming equipped with NACS ports?

those cars are sick dude
"And it's a vehicle that's almost hard to define what it is". - The R3 is a five door SEAT 127 hatchback from 1973. With about the same ground clearance... You are welcome Rivian.
The R2 is the first EV I actually want to get. The Tesla wowed me when it was released, but over the years it lost its appeal. This seems fairly promising
Finally some new rivian cars

Maybe. Everything electric is still ambitious. People are still buying hybrids or standard propulsion. If people want to buy electric they buy teslas. Stats don't lie but somebody's funding Rivian.
I wish the charge port was on the rear drivers side, to match Tesla.
Someone in another review mentioned there should be a D2 trim line. I hope Steve-O (sorry RJ) sees this and takes advantage of this low hanging fruit.

It was for the glass opening not the trunk opening specifically.
When they announced their last vehicle (R1S/T in 2018) they promised deliveries in 2020 and a price of ca. $60k. They were 3 years late and $20k over the original price when they shipped the first vehicles in 2023. How long might it really take for the R2 to be delivered and at what price? 2028 and $65k? And will Rivian still exist at that date, with their cash burning rate and low revenue?

Why is a 26 delivery timeline worth cheering for? It's not like he said delivery in the next 26 days.
Very nice vehicle - both R2 and R3, but I have serious doubt they can deliver even the base model at $45k.
If they can execute it, I will be getting one.
I'm not a huge fan of rivian but I like the ollks of the new r3
