And we are live for a new episode of the electric podcast. I am Fred Lambert, your host. And as usual, I'm joined by Seth Wrenshaw. How are you doing today, set? I'm good. All right. A little special episode of the podcast a little bit early because I'm traveling to Europe right now. And it's been a long week. So if we do this at the normal time of the 11 p.m. Now it's 7 p.m. for me.

But it's better that way for this show because we're going to have plenty to talk about,

obviously. If you join us on the on the other podcast, well, podcast slash watch party yesterday

for the Rivian, already a lot that you know about but we we had more

time to digest all the information from the lunch we we talked a little bit more

said at that great interview with RJ that you can watch on our on our channel

on YouTube and a lot more a little bit more of information I came out to that we

gonna discuss in a few minutes but let's start with the meat of it. Let's start with the R2, which was the reason we're all there. It was called the launch of the R2. There was this one more thing and not even two more thing type of surprise at the end. Not exactly what we were expecting, but it's still pretty cool when we get to that

in the second. But the R2 itself, there was a surprise despite all the leagues, because the leaks

itself was not completely accurate. Well, I mean, the leak was coming directly from Ravion's

website. So the information must have been accurate at least at one point, but they change a few things.

So the R2, in term of design,

I mean, it's pretty much what we saw in the league. It's also, if you're familiar with the R1S, it's exactly the same car on the exterior at least with a few design changes, basically a smaller r1s i can draw right back

to the size dimension the dimensions uh differences here so definitely a little bit shorter uh quite

similar wheel base though and um you have obviously shorter as well and is it that what's the the one we don't have the

width here. We're probably similar now. I think it's a little bit on the outside. Yeah. On the

outside said there's not much to note, I guess, right?

I mean, you know, obviously smaller all around.

And when they had that two comparisons, it was definitely a shit noticeable.

But like on its own, like they could have probably driven this thing around LA. And in fact, I guess they did.

And nobody really noticed it besides some folks at the, you know, on the charging station.

Because it looks like an R1S.
