TEMPTING but I can’t buy a vehicle that I can’t stand to look at. Personal opinion I know but Rivian, could you give us an optional headlight option?! Please! I want to support you but just can’t.

Too bad those headlights are so polarizing for people. Personally I like them, makes the car stand out from the others. But my wife hates them.…ugh so theres that.

This car is a solid second choice for me, if for some reason I don’t go with the Scout. Have to say if the Scout interior actually looks like the pics we have of the Pacific Mist version, the R2 doesn’t hold a candle to that interior. I’d love either of these cars to be my next electric car. I’m fairly certain that an electric Defender is going to be super expensive and makes either the R2 or Scout a super deal.

Have to say though that the R2‘s roll down rear window is a huge plus in my book
