R2 | Inside Rivian Vehicle Design Studio & Technology Labs

We’ve been visiting Rivian locations across the US getting a behind-the-scenes look at R2 as progress continues. In this stop on the R2 tour, peek inside our artwork-covered Design Studio, get a look at motor development in our powertrain test lab and explore some of the unique technology under the sheet metal at our electrical lab in Silicon Valley.

Designed for the adventurous
We listened and learned to craft a vehicle fit for adventures of all kinds. R2 has everything you need to get out there and say yes to new things.

MORE INFO
Keep in mind the R2 is two years away at best. The $45K entry price is subject to change. You know the dual motor with a few bells and whistles will be north of $55K. Who knows what other comparable ICE or EV vehicles will be available then. The model Y will be refreshed next year and Tesla has been ferocious at cutting prices to pressure competition. The R2 will not overtake the best selling car in the world. Also, the Chinese will be here by 2026 with very compelling products.

I placed a deposit on the R2 but will not pass judgement until production begins and I’ve taken a hard look at the competitive landscape.

- I worked 7 years for Tesla, M3 pilot to traveling all over the states, working onsite solving and resolving demand issues. I’m now with Rivian going on 2 months. Those 2 months have been better than my whole Tesla tenure. Couldn’t be more proud of our culture, existing, and upcoming products.

- I've never owned an EV but after recently seeing the R3/R3X all of a sudden I'm watching Rivian VERY closely. I know I have a long wait until 2028 but I'm really cheering this company on. I believe the R2/3 can transition lots of ICE drivers like myself to EVs. I really enjoyed seeing what these talented and enthusiastic Rivian employees are up to and I wish Rivian the best of luck!

- 3 yrs of R1T ownership - I’m still enamored with the design each day. Seeing R2 in design and development from a team who loves cars and what they’re building and combining form and function makes me extremely excited for the R2 and Rivian. Please keep the videos coming as R2 approaches.

- 6 years Tesla Model 3 owner here. Love my Model 3 but can’t wait for the R2. Wife will probably keep my 3. Early reservation holder here and stock holder so hoping everything goes well with this company.

- Rivian team you are doing just amazing work. The design and engineering behind R1 and now new R2, R3 is next level, hope to get your R2 soon here in Europe and really hope for R2T pickup for our markets

- We need more videos on these vehicles please! 🙏🏼 if you would like to work together let me know, I love the company and what you guys are doing! ❤️
- Very interesting to see the behind the scenes work and efforts going on for R2 , especially the new motors and electrical lab work including the haptics and the reduced size zonal architecture. I echo everyone else - more of this type of informational type video - keep it up!
