Guys what's going on?. Ford has had a Tesla supercharger adapter available for over a week now and you guys haven't even touched that subject.. That's probably one of the most important stories in the EV World right now. Not to mention Tesla has certain superchargers with built-in CCS adapters for non- Tesla vehicles available now. I really can't believe that you guys haven't done anything with that. I know you pulled the trigger too soon on selling the lightning, but I'm sure you could find somebody to let you borrow a Maki or a lightning

During the event, I placed a deposit for an R2. Then I cancelled it as soon as the R3 was revealed. It reminds me (in the best possible way) of my first car - a Subaru Justy. Which was an off-roading beast for being such a tiny underpowered vehicle. The R3 will absolutely be my next vehicle to replace my Mach-E.

I'm sure this will eat a little bit into their R1S orders, but it is a different market of vehicle - like Tesla Model X vs. Model Y. And the R1T still has no R2 equivalent.

@@hwirtwirt4500 Excuses would imply that I wouldn't expect Tesla to change. I'm looking at this from a practical standpoint. The end objective should be Tesla updating all their Superchargers to V4 to accommodate either side of a vehicle. The reality is that changing out tens of thousands of superchargers is going to take a long time. Since the Tesla Superchargers are basically unrivaled in the industry this leaves us with a parking mess for charging for the foreseeable future since Tesla is still installing V3 chargers in the US and would be very capital intensive for them to change out all those charging stations. To me, in the short term, it seems easier to adapt to the existing network that everyone wants to use than to wait for Tesla to get everything changed over.

@@JohnnyZenith i dont really view this cars as expensive compared to the car market at large. I can’t speak for anyone else but if you actually care, my path to success was really tough. I was homeless most of my childhood and parentless at 16. Dropped out. Walked past a big high rise project one day and was like a bug to a blue light to the site and sound of a welder. After some time being mentored how to weld I realized I was terrible at it but electric was also fascinating. I learned everything I could about that. Bought a car. Lived in it. Got my GED. Got my degree going at night over 6 years. Became a journeyman. Learned about solar. Loved solar. By that time I was 27. Started my own solar business and a little over a decade later here we are.

This is the Rivian I’d personally want as a daily driver! It’s small, cute, and has tons of personality! And while it might or might not be as capable or crazy as the truck or SUVs, that doesn’t mean it won’t be crazy or capable in similar yet different ways! I saw ads that have the R3 in like beach home environments like what you see on Beach Boys albums, and this car feels like Rivian’s answer to the California beach buggy and maybe by extension, the peace and love movement that cars like the VW Bug, Bus, Golf, and the Meyers Manx dune buggy, Jeep, AMC Pacer, Mini Cooper and other similar cars were kind of the face of in the 50s, 60s and 70s! I think, if I were to ever get my license, the Rivian R3 or R3x might be the vehicle for me!

The base R2 for $45k is single motor small battery with 270 miles, then the larger battery is over 300, but I don’t know exactly how much. I’m trying to figure out what it can tow with dual motor and the larger battery. The R3 is really interesting. Both cars have all the seats fold down flat including the driver and they have a bunch of accessories already like a rooftop tent and a bike rack that can be put away in the frunk, and a cargo box that looks like it folds flat, and a camp kitchen with induction stove that might go in the hitch, but connects to the J3400 (NACS) plug for V2L power output. I figure since they had the off road tires on the R2, they put street tires on the R3, since the R3X would be the choice for going off road, but I think the R2 and R3 probably come with either set of tires. I watched Marques Brownlee go through all the cars with RJ that had a little more info than the reveal. I think it will eventually all be on the website but I was having trouble getting on it, but I at least got my reservation in after I said I wasn’t going to reserve anymore EV’s

I freakin love the R3X! I wish it was launching in parallel with the R2, but I understand why it’s coming afterwards.

Those are going to be highly desirable if Rivian manages to get them to market. I’m sticking with the R2 though.

R3 is an electrified AMC Gremlin with a Rivian front end. R3X is an 1983 AMC Eagle SX/4 with a Rivian front end.

For those wondering about pricing, MKBHD had a brief interview with RJ in which they discussed R2/R3. It works as expected. R1 series as the flagship, R2 as the mid-range, and R3 as the entry level. That said, RJ confirmed that R3 would be cheaper than R2 - but by how much? We don't know. I'd expect a $30k-36k sticker for R3, with R3X sitting about $40k. I expect at least a $5k price differential from R2 to R3... And yes, this also confirms R3 is not just a concept. It's actually happening. It's just a matter of when.

God i wish the R3 was out sooner. Its such a cool little car. Its likely out years after the R2, which is years away itself.

I really really really hope the front seats also fold all the way down on the R3. I also wish they’d move the charge port to the other side. Otherwise, I love the rugged hot hatch. Giorgetto Giugiaro must be proud.

More than the lower price (although of course I like that too), I'm always excited to see smaller, reasonably-sized new cars announced! It has a sportier look than R1 and R2, and will be much easier to maneuver and park in urban/suburban areas as well as narrow country/wilderness roads!

I am in a weird place with this one. I love those giant classic American cars from the 50s-70s, but I also really love smaller cars from the 80s-90s. This to me looks like a giant 80s hatchback, it needs to be 4/5ths the size it is.

As somebody who's dream is to electric swap a subaru legacy wagon, seeing a small, compact electric crossover almost-wagon is really nice. My hope is that in the future, repairability and compartmentalization of key components will eventually allow for electric vehicles with the same robustnees, reliability, flexibility, and compactness of the subaru heyday.

I can't stand "influencers." Vapid narcissists with no actual knowledge making a ton of noise and posing for selfies. Tommy, you may have been the only one in the room with any real knowledge of the automotive world. Anyway, interesting vehicles that definitely seem production ready. Ah, but pricing...

I love the funky colors of the R3X. Great design from Rivian. The rear stoplights need to have fixed alternatives for when the hatch is raised, at least under USA regulations. Maybe the fixed stoplights are in the bumper or under the hatch. More smaller EVs like these are desperately needed. Disclosure: I own Rivian stock, but so little I have no market influence.
