Rivian's Latest: $45,000 R2 SUV, Rooftop Tent with Movie Projector, and EV Plant Pause

TL;DR Summary
Rivian unveiled its latest electric SUV, the R2, which will be priced at around $45,000 and offer about 300 miles of range. To achieve this more affordable price point, the company made strategic design and engineering decisions, such as simplifying the suspension system, modifying the rear windows, replacing the split tailgate with a rear tray table, and omitting certain features like the built-in Bluetooth speaker. Despite these changes, the R2 maintains Rivian's signature design elements and is expected to hit the market in the first half of 2026.
