It’s been a long wait, but Rivian’s more mass-market, midsize R2 SUV is now finding its way to customers. Rivian began “public customer deliveries” of the R2 yesterday. In terms of “private” deliveries to Rivian staff and insiders, those began in April.
“Also beginning today, Rivian is extending invitations to order for existing R2 reservation holders on a rolling basis,” Rivian added.
Th R2 isn’t truly a mass-market vehicle (that’ll be the R3), as it still costs at least $44,990 on the low end (deliveries of which begin next summer). However, it’s significantly cheaper, and just a bit smaller, than the Rivian R1.
