@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.
Hey man, you better start running your wallet instead of your mouth. All the praise is useless cuz the sales no. of Rivian is awful. That Rust bucket/ god awful Tesla will bury the Rivian sooner or later.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
"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.
I love rivian now I just need to try their trucks my favourite is the R1T but it will be my first car and is too expensive for that so the R2 I think is great 0-0
This car has a lot of so called bells and whistles that are not essential to normal operation of the car. Range and price and safety are the most important
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.
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?
@@sedo5505 I can think of ample reasons why the situation isn't much better than back then: Houthis affecting supply chain, Suez canal affecting supply chain, interest rates affecting factory extension, slowing EV enthusiasm making investors pull out of RIVN, etc. etc. We'll see in 2026 what's what
look like we got ourselves some winners here. If Rivian can keep the price the way it is, R2, R3 are going to fly off the dealer lots. Tesla should be worried. very worried, and btw, I'm not even a EV guy, at least not yet, let's see how reliable R2, R3 will be.
These all look SO good. Can't wait for these to hit the roads!
Happy for Steve-O
Took me a second but now I cannot unsee it. Lol
Steve thank you
best one
Right
😂😂
The R3/R3X are the kind of car that makes you happy just by seeing it on the road.
Soo much personality... Lovely.
That r3 is especially cool.
R3 is the first electric vehicle that is seriously up for consideration for me. It might be time to retire my 2009 golf once it arrives
Your 2009 golf hasn't arrived!?
Same. I have a 2004 toyota matrix that I’ve been keeping going holding out for the right EV. The R3 might be it.
@@philosophybenLOL poorly worded
Hope your 2009 car lasts til 2030 then lol
@@aswinhanagal4293 renault is also releasing an electric version of the 5😀
I like it how the crowd was cheering for the flashlights
tbh its really handy in our R1S
I use mine a few times a week on my R1T. It’s pretty much their signature at this point
@1:49 The women in white isn't impressed by all of this. She is yawning right in the middle of the presentation !
@@nvasudeva So u r disappointed that she isn't excited?
😂😂😂😂😂
The cheering feels so stupid.
I like that the back windows vent. This eliminates buffeting. I hate the buffeting in my current car
Having Radar with Camera is a better stack- as of now. As a Tesla owner, only camera option is lacking in many ways.
But they lack software
I love the radar and park sensors on my R1S over our vision only Tesla, but I do think Driver+ is lacking compared to Autopilot
@@jake-ly You are right, Rivian AP should get better overtime as Tesla's did as it received more data from more cars on the road

You don't like the rust patina of the CT?? lol

I have to say I've been a big Tesla fan but I totally want one of these. Tesla's designs feel so boring now
Tesla living rent free in y'all rivian shills' heads. cope more bud, hope ur excited to see rivian go bankrupt lmaoooo
Thanks for the edit down to the essentials.
They've released an EV VW GOLF GTI from 1992
better than VW's ID.4
R3X also reminds me of the old Lada Niva 4x4.
Absolutely nothing wrong with that
@@juanmortaco831 yup I love it
I see Lancia Delta Integrale 🤔
I miss the pop-out windows in my 1991 Escort GT. Nice to see them on the R2!
And in the Sienna too!

They did!
What difference does it make if your cable won’t reach?
Passenger rear makes the most sense. That way you can do curbside charging.
@@jiminauburn5073That does make some sense.
R3x is 🔥🔥🔥
lmao! almost everyone is pointing out the steve-o resemblance, they could be brothers but the r3 though! damn!
Really clean, simple and cool designs, love to see them here in Europe, specially the R3 and R3X.
Hoping they can start delivering in Europa quickly to a reasonable price!
Thats quite far across the galaxy
😂😂😂
I am sure that for next 10 years there is 0 chance for them.
That trunk with the 2 stages of opening is super cool
So Steve-O is the CEO?!
1980s Plymouth Horizon / Dodge Omni - I would still buy one ! ha Especially the GLHS / R3X !
The front seats go down.
Crowd: Whooohoooo🎉🎉🎉
Glad to see Steve O doing well
Wow, now this put the rivian brand on my radar. The R3..
Unionize Rivian!
So beautiful.....R2 with Tri-motors for me! Canceling my R1S.
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.
These look great. I hope that one of them is my next car.
In my opinion, Rivian always look better than Telsa
Rivian is back on track baby!
These better fly off the shelf

R3 looks fantastic :-)
R3 is such a love letter to the automobile
R3 looks amazing
Very excited for the R3
Dang! Excited for these and making them more affordable for th masses
Yes, Im really liking the R3!
The crowd cheered for everything lol
R3 is amazing ❤
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.
Great stuff. Can't wait to see the electric vehicles available by the end of the decade.
They are doing a really great job giving us a amazing projects

If the R2 starts at $45k, how much is the R3 and R3X?
i get the sense they don’t know yet. they’re probably still in development.
All he said was R3 will have a started price lower than R2
This is just speculation but I imagine the R3 will start at 35-40k
@@Plague_Rat778 That's probably the lowest it could ever go. My guess is that it comes out in 2027, at like 42k starting
@@LashanR ya I'm being hopeful with my guess, but only time will tell
They look amazing, I do want more info on their off road capabilities though.
Great new ideas ! Fresh air in EV cars ! Thank you Rivian

Man as a avid tesla fan this is really good
They also will ship with NACS port (same as Tesla)

So elegant

Oh, so the numbers are how many years you need to wait before they are released?
Finally some new rivian cars
R3 😮
Thanks Steve O
Have you found a way to address the premature wear on tires? My neighbor has one with 8,000 miles and the tires are already shot.
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.
I'm here to find out what MKBHD is going to be talking about!
I mean, it's cool. But who was in this audience? Who loudly cheers the trunk window being openable?
It was for the glass opening not the trunk opening specifically.
why is the front so high?
Approach angle
approach for offroading. As a Tesla Y owner, its much appreciated
Why is a 26 delivery timeline worth cheering for? It's not like he said delivery in the next 26 days.
So I'm guessing these will actually be on the roads mid 2027?
Maybe. Everything electric is still ambitious. People are still buying hybrids or standard propulsion. If people want to buy electric they buy teslas.

We'll see in 2026 what's what
those cars are sick dude
2026 though, that’s way too long to wait
So what will be the price of R3?
R3 has the design of Gurgel, a Brazilian car from the 70s
2026. That'd sound impressive 👌
For me that R3 stole the show. Super cool design love it!
Was really hoping they'd try a hatchback but still really cool
The r3 is basically that
Did you tune out before the R3?
If they can execute it, I will be getting one.
Cool. Now give us CarPlay.
look like we got ourselves some winners here. If Rivian can keep the price the way it is, R2, R3 are going to fly off the dealer lots.
Tesla should be worried. very worried, and btw, I'm not even a EV guy, at least not yet, let's see how reliable R2, R3 will be.
I wish the charge port was on the rear drivers side, to match Tesla.
I really wished they named R2 sibling L2
Compare to cyber truck safe to say " the design is very human"
there’s more than one way for Superman to save the world. Electric cars.
Omg I want one
Very nice vehicle - both R2 and R3, but I have serious doubt they can deliver even the base model at $45k.
Was hoping for a T varient somewhere 😢
It gets my vote in 2026. Jokes aside, that’s also when they will start to sell over in Europe.
If they can nail the software then they’ll have my money.
I'm not a huge fan of rivian but I like the ollks of the new r3
Do we actually think that the R2 will sell for $45k??
Looks amazing
Q1 2026 for R2 delivery? $45k starting price will be what in 2026? Well, let’s hope Rivian is still around at that time.
that hatch is very BMW touring like.
More like a Golf
Incredible
Looks lika an electric Lada Niva. A Nivian.
These will sell like hotcakes. It's also great to see Rivians be able to use Teslas Superchargers while seeing the RAN grow.
This is why i love America.
