June 9 is the day. Order invitations start going out, demo drives begin and the first R2 vehicles start arriving in driveways across America. We can’t wait for you to experience the vehicle we’ve poured so much of our hearts into.
To get you ready, starting today you can visit our website to save and share your perfect R2 configuration. Choose the color, interior, wheels and options that fit you best. When your order invitation arrives, you'll be that much closer to getting your R2.
How Order Invitations Work
Invitations will go out on a rolling basis starting June 9. We'll be sending them in batches as deliveries ramp up. Your reservation timestamp and delivery location are the primary factors that determine when you receive your invite. Areas surrounding Rivian Service + Demo Centers will generally receive invitations sooner as this allows us to deliver vehicles more quickly in the early ramp.
A few additional factors we take into account:
R1 Owners Current Rivian owners will receive accelerated delivery timing, balanced alongside deliveries to non-owners to keep the line moving for everyone.
Expiring Leases If your lease is ending soon, you can enter your expiring lease information in your Rivian Account and we'll factor that in where we can. For Rivian leases, no need to take any action, we've already got you covered.
Invite Batches We want to give everyone the most accurate picture of when they can order their R2. To do that, we're bringing a randomly selected group of reservation holders into early batches, which will help us refine our timing estimates so that everyone can benefit from a clear and transparent purchase process.
The first vehicle available to order is R2 Performance with Launch Package, which comes with Autonomy+ included*. R2 Premium trim will arrive in late 2026 with Standard trim following in 2027. If you prefer to wait for a future R2 version, you will be notified as they become available to order. Once your order is confirmed, you can plan to take delivery within 2–6 weeks.
Book a Demo Drive
On June 9, R2 begins to arrive at Rivian Spaces so you can explore it in person and get behind the wheel for a demo drive. All customers are welcome to schedule a demo drive, with priority given to reservation holders who have been invited to order. Visit our website starting June 9 to find demo drive availability near you.
R2 is almost here. Getting you behind the wheel is the moment we've been building toward. Your adventure is about to start.
