Additional Facts:
- The R2, unlike its Rivian siblings, is planned to be sold to the European markets, which can be seen already by the side turn signal, a European requirement on production vehicles
- The roof rack system of the Rivian R1 can be translated into the R2, meaning that the roof racks can be easily fitted into the R2
- These early pre-production / prototypes of the R2 features a unique wrap that indicates to the public that these R2 examples aren’t customer ready products (so no equipping this wrap straight from the factory)
don’t post if there’s already a vehicle suggestion for this / also dont know if its consider separate from the other R2 suggestion
