This isn’t hype. This is engineering validation, manufacturing evidence, and real-world data showing that Rivian is entering the final phase before customer deliveries. The R2 isn’t just another electric SUV — it’s Rivian’s opportunity to directly challenge the Tesla Model Y, expand EV adoption, and bring Rivian’s design philosophy to a much broader audience.
