WHAT'S INSIDE?(@whatsinside):I was in the room when Rivian R2 was announced. Had my phone up and ordered a minute before the car came onto the stage. Was in such a hurry to order, I spelled my name wrong. My order window finally opened. Our family does need a new car. Here are my pros and cons: Reason I’m hesitating: 1: The @Out_of_Spec range test showed less than 300 miles range. 2: No point to point autonomy 3: Need to pay cash since interest rates are high. 4: Don’t love the front look, feels outdated like R1s and boxy. Reason I would buy it: 1: Seats and interior feel Luxury. 2: Suspension is very comfortable. 3: Charges fast, high rate for long time. 4: I like the people and ethos of Rivian.
