The OEM floor liners go over $400 if you include the cargo mats. I decided to give this Aliexpress set a chance (was little nervous), and I think the quality is excellent. I can't say about the fitment yet because I have yet to take delivery of my YL (EDD: mid-Oct to early Nov).

This is a complete set that includes front, rear, and cargo mats with detachable carpet pieces. All for $200.

Here are some pictures I took right out of the box. I can't imagine the OEM liners being much better quality than this set.

In early September, the number on the demo cars with the boost was 4.2. It was 4.4 without it. In late September, the number is 4.4 with the boost. A 0.2 sec difference may be trivial, but I wish Tesla could be more consistent and transparent about acceleration boost.

Regardless of whether it's included in the Launch Series or what the 0-60 numbers are, if AB is not included in the Launch Series, it shouldn't be on the demo cars of the same trim level.

I feel like Tesla is going to not actually give us AB but say it's included.

Ordered on July 3rd. Back to October for now 😅.

Cosmic Silver/Zen Grey/20"

I ordered the Model Y L Launch Series. It comes with 12 months of FSD and Supercharging.

But, does this mean no Premium Connectivity? Just standard?

I test drove the R2 and Model Y back to back. The stereo in the R2 was noticeably inferior for my listening preferences.

That being said, I completely believe people who had different experiences. For most music, the R2 should sound fine. But I listen mostly to classical music. With that type of music, differences in sound quality become much more noticeable.

For those who have a chance to demo the R2, would you try this piece and also compare it with a Model Y Juniper with Premium Audio if possible, with sound enhancements turned off and EQ set to neutral on both vehicles:

(0:00 to 1:40)

(5:00 to 7:40)

(8:48 to the end) recommended.

I am not trying to invalidate anyone’s experience. I am genuinely curious whether more people would notice the difference when listening to music that demands higher fidelity.

Lastly, do you think Rivian can unlock more of the R2 stereo system’s potential through OTA updates (maybe through a DSP profile change or something similar), or is it already close to the hardware limit?

For reference, I'm a June 20, 2026 reservation holder.

Currently driving an ICE car. No expiring lease. Did a demo drive once. 2 hrs from a SC.

He didn't say Esker Silver, but I assume this is it.
