Test drove the R2 yesterday- Some thoughts for the average person
It’s a Rivian. Looks great. Build quality is excellent. You can tell where they made cuts but they don’t feel cheap, just smart. UI is snappy. Cameras are excellent. Seats are very comfortable. The car is much quieter than our R1 as well.
The drive was fine. Very snappy and composed. Less body roll.
Where the car shines is space. It doesn’t compute that the R2 is the same length as the Y. I’m in a Model Y Juniper right now and the R2 feels cavernous and luxurious by comparison.
This is objectively a great car. The only reason someone would choose Tesla over Rivian is brand familiarity or FSD. Outside of that, I can’t really see why anyone would choose the Y. This car is going to sell really well and push others to step up their game.
