More about that base model Rivian R2.

After today’s R2 event, MKBHD took a closer look at the new SUV and its sibling R3 / R3X with Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe for his Auto Focus channel.

In this section of the video, Scaringe notes that while the R2 can have an estimated range that stretches beyond 300 miles, the base RWD version for $45,000 will have a smaller battery with an estimated 270-mile range. We’ll have even more on these new EVs tomorrow.
