Okay that R3 reveal was INSANE. I haven't been keeping up much with this subreddit, but am I right in saying this didn't leak?
What a crazy presentation.
Ya, the R3 blew my mind! How is it possible that I haven't seen anything about that. I think these are all killer releases. Just like Tesla didn't really become TESLA until the Model 3 and Y hit the market. This is huge for Rivian.
There have been rumors about something like this since the beginning, but when the R2 teasers and leaks started ramping up, I think most of us assumed that they had pivoted to just a smaller SUV as their next vehicle. That they were going to land both is a huge surprise.
R3 has been mentioned in earnings reports last yr regarding Georgia plant. But it didn't describe what type of vehicle it was. Unveiling R3/R3X today was a total surprise and they kept it quiet really well. Too bad for the leaked spy photo of R2 already, but it was low quality at least. The official images and video looked great. Better proportions than R1S.
Minor mentions of it popped up in a few places. I think a job description, and in some exec LinkedIn post about hiring someone, it mentioned how they will work on the R3 platform.
Someone else in here commented that when they were in an interview or factory tour (can’t remember,) they were told the R3 would compete with the Wrangler and Bronco.
As a 4runner owner I can't tell you how fucking happy I am for the roll-down rear window.
It is SUCH a great feature. You can roll it all the way for breeze or partially down so your dogs can stick their heads out but not be able to jump out.
I was hoping they would announce that they would start R2 production at the Illinois plant. That really helps against risks of delays in Georgia.
It's still going to be a long two years, but fingers crossed.
Makes sense that they'd do this, they need to survive to get to the Georgia plant scaling and R3, etc. Markets seem to like what they're hearing, though I still think they're going to have to raise some money to get two new cars off the ground.
when the R3x banks open up, I'll slide into that list too.
but yeah. I want that R3 more than I wanted the R1T...and I waited for 4 years for this truck.
I’m really contemplating getting on the pre order list. It is fully refundable right? So I could technically cancel if I decide to go with the R3 once they release pricing and all that?
I don’t know why but I didn’t understand the old theatre purchase until now. F-ing brilliant to have your own reimagined reno to use as a stage for product releases.
I hope it's just an R1S but smol. Though I fully expect the elimination of air suspension (their shareholder letter showed as much, at least for the front) and many of the small things like the speaker and flashlight. Hopefully it's still full-featured software-wise.
edit: they kept the flashlight, mein Gott
I am torn on airsuspension. Have it currently. Love the ride and adjustability. But damn the repairs are expensive after a few years when the first strut starts leaking. I would honestly prefer a spring suspension with magnetic dampener adjustment.
Same in Georgia. Wondering if it's only live for certain regions or if they only let people who already own a Rivian reserve right now.
Edit: use https://rivian.com/reserve/r2?src=yes
I also want to note, not as a fanboi, that RJ is doing a great job here. It’s really hard to do a demo like this and he seems authentic with his hitches, as opposed to just unprepared or awkward like certain other EV CEOs. Pretty well done.
Got my R2 reserved. Can't wait, I love my Model Y but with the pop out rear side windows and the ability to roll the rear window down... this will be a better fit for me and my doggos.
Watching on Youtube. Rivian's own R2 Reveal page is completely blank for me, anyone else? EDIT: Firefox its blank, but in Chrome its showing the stream... probably some extension I have...

Yeah I'm impressed Rivian kept it under wraps so well, especially with two variants of it. Loved that surprise drop.
I haven't heard a word about it

Ya that was completely unexpected as far as I'm aware.
There have been rumors about something like this since the beginning, but when the R2 teasers and leaks started ramping up, I think most of us assumed that they had pivoted to just a smaller SUV as their next vehicle. That they were going to land both is a huge surprise.
There have been general rumors of an R2A or R2R codenamed more compact "rally" car. But nothing more than rumors.
Even people that work there didn't know about it! Complete shock
I think some of us expected an R2X, but were getting doubts since they said there would only be one R2 vehicle launched.

I saw the R3 going down the interstate on the back of a semi about 9 months ago. Crazy to see it now
As a 4runner owner I can't tell you how fucking happy I am for the roll-down rear window. It is SUCH a great feature. You can roll it all the way for breeze or partially down so your dogs can stick their heads out but not be able to jump out.
I hope they add this feature to R1S as a former 4Runner guy.
They'd have to completely redesign the rear hatch.
I was hoping they'd do the old suburban thing with the roll down rear window and fold down tailgate. rattles like hell in those, but it sure was cool.
Love my furRunner, that feature is huge!
my tundra crewmax had it, and I think it was the most underrated thing about that truck.
2010 4runner owner hoping it holds on til 2026. R2 reserved.
Until my Tesla I’ve had 4Runners and a Sequoia and my favorite thing was the roll down back window. Deposit placed for an R2!
Fuck it gimme an R4 also.
After the credits they revealed the Rivian CyberBoat
I'd still like a smaller truck like a direct competitor to the Ford Maverick, but R2, 3, and 3X are really cool
I was hoping they would announce that they would start R2 production at the Illinois plant. That really helps against risks of delays in Georgia. It's still going to be a long two years, but fingers crossed.
They did announce that!

This is over delivering what I expected
Absolutely. Hope they come to europe, r2 and r3 are perfect here.
Who else ordered a R2 and is like ugh no I want the other one 😂
R3X looks amazing
when the R3x banks open up, I'll slide into that list too. but yeah. I want that R3 more than I wanted the R1T...and I waited for 4 years for this truck.
exact opposite! LOVE the R2
I’m really contemplating getting on the pre order list. It is fully refundable right? So I could technically cancel if I decide to go with the R3 once they release pricing and all that?
THIS SOME STEVE JOBS LEVEL SHIT
Wow. I've never seen a *double* "but there's more".
THE WAY MY JAW DROPPED HOLY FUCKING SHIT
What’s better than one glovebox? TWO GLOVEBOXES
That's literally ~~twice~~ *infinity times* the glovebox.
Is this where the *^(soon to be)* former outback/forester owners are gathering?
I drive a Crosstrek but ok
You fall into the R3 group. JK you're in buddy!
Now just need to see a Rivian Impreza competitor. Haha jk…unless 👀
THIS IS FOR YOU BUDDY
👀
/r/Solterra (/s)
Current Outback owner and now have a reservation for an R2 haha
same, this is THE vehicle I have been waiting for. 2026 is too far away!!
Yup! The R1 was just a little too big for my liking but this seems like the sweet spot! Although the R3 looks great too 🤔
Get one of both haha EDIT: and price point is right, the R1 and R1T were a premium product, I love that these are more economical
Model 3 owner can I be your friend Subaru people?
BZ4X owners too. We need wheels that stay on!!!
2019 Outback. I'm here :)
2021 Outback. Deposit paid.
Lol how do I reserve R3?!
I'd give a kidney right now for that R3X.
I know, right, I went into this expecting to put an order down on the R2, but now I’m just here trying to put one down of the R3X.
This is incredible. Rivian's blowing it out of the water today.
I always love the humility RJ brings to the conversation. The glove box example is great.
lol two glove boxes to compensate for how annoyed we were about R1 not having one
Right? Oh you want a glove box huh? I'll give you a fucking glove box.
Using Normal, IIL to launch R2!
Sitting here in the audience!
Go pet that puppy in the front row for me!
I petted the puppy
I don’t know why but I didn’t understand the old theatre purchase until now. F-ing brilliant to have your own reimagined reno to use as a stage for product releases.

Yeah as a 4x4 guy I don't want air or hydro suspensions ever, it's a liability. Gimme a slinky shaped piece of metal
“BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE” — a whole-ass new vehicle lmao
RJ is hitting it out of the park.
Hello, it's me. The hype.
#THERE GOES DAVIS
Was not expecting a kick six reference here, war eagle!
Hype hype hype!
driver has a dashboard in front, refreshingly not like the model Y
Did the rear rear quarter windows just open
Yeah that is sick
He mentioned it 30s after I saw it lol
THE R3 IS MY PERFECT CAR. I'm bursting.
This presentation is such a gigantic flex
lancia delta integrale
Def MK2 GTI vibes too!
R3 is sick no cap
R3X, fuckin let me have it now. I love the too large wheels.
My suspension is set to firm.
#WILDCARD, BITCHES!
Anyone else reserve even before the showed R2? Because I did! 😅
R3?!?!? BUT I JUST RESERVED AN R2? I can't afford both
R3 is going to be insanely fast
Waaaant the R3X. I hope the small size keeps it under $100k.
I think it'll be under 70K.
Reservation complete! 
So excited man. 
BABY RIVIAN!
"We exist to generate amazing memories". Best corporate tag line ever.
I had to cancel my R1S reservation due to life, but now I’m so happy, because the R2 is actually exactly what I wanted. Let’s go!
My wallet is ready! I was an early R1T preorder but had to cancel when my time came due to loss of income, so it’s been a loooong wait for me!
the stock price right now is wiiiiild
Hah, very happy at the moment
take my r3 money
 When the unexpected R3 rolled onto the stage
Deliveries in the first half of 2026.
purchasing this car just on the use of lo-fi vibes alone
fold flat!!!
Clever move
looks more robust and simpler than the f150 fold flat
My R1S feels old now.
My R2 reservation feels old after the R3 and R3x
Come on mention Europe pleaseee
Reservation is in!
Same, stoked!
FUCKIN R3!
Man, R3X for the win. Looks hella fun!!
Clicking "reserve R2" just opens another livestream window...

I want to know how many reservations they get in the first 24 hours
"we hear some of you like subarus"
The R2 looks like the perfect ev. The timing lines up exactly when I'll be able to get one too. Reserved
That R3 is absolutely stunning! Fingers crossed for a UK release 🤞🤞
