Rivian Will Deliver the Electric R2 Starting June 9th, but You’ll Need to Snag an Invite First
Invites will be sent in batches, with reservation time, delivery location and existing ownership helping determine who orders first.
- Rivian announced on Wednesday that order invitations for the R2 electric SUV begin June 9, with first customer deliveries starting the same day.
- Founder and CEO RJ Scaringe called the R2 "maybe the most important thing we've launched to date," marking a critical step toward profitability since the vehicle's initial reveal in March 2024.
- Invitations will arrive in batches prioritized by reservation timestamps and proximity to service centers, with confirmed orders expected to arrive within two to six weeks.
- Prospective buyers can test drive the R2 Performance with Launch Package at Rivian Spaces beginning June 9, though other trims will not arrive until late 2026 or 2027.
- While the Performance trim starts at $57,990, the R2 Standard will cost $48,490 in 2027; meanwhile, Rivian delayed its European launch timeline to an unspecified date earlier this year.
