Tomorrow kicks off the first Rivian R2 demo drives on June 9, and only select locations will have vehicles ready. Rivian confirmed that not every service center or demo space gets the R2 models at launch, so the exact Rivian R2 demo drive locations will be shared first thing in the morning.
What We Know So Far
Rivian posted that demo drives start at a limited number of sites to avoid crowds. An online booking system is expected so owners can reserve a slot instead of showing up and hoping for the best. If you want to be first in line, keep an eye on Rivian’s site or app tomorrow for the full list.
