Product development and technology
R2 SUV is a major focus, integrating learnings in manufacturability, cost, and next-gen autonomy and AI platforms.
R2 will launch as a five-passenger SUV starting at $45,000, targeting broad appeal and multiple use cases.
The autonomy platform is being developed in-house, with a data flywheel and robust perception stack, aiming for hands-free and eventually eyes-off driving by 2027-2028.
Autonomy Day at year-end will showcase hardware and software advancements, with demos planned.
The company is leveraging a strong radar and camera suite to accelerate AI learning, especially in challenging conditions.
Manufacturing and supply chain
R2 production will begin at the Normal, Illinois facility, utilizing expanded and upgraded plant infrastructure.
Most R2 parts are already production-tooled, with strong supplier readiness and risk management.
Supplier challenges, especially in lower tiers, have been addressed through robust planning and learnings from previous ramp-ups.
The Georgia plant is ready for groundbreaking, with infrastructure in place and further vehicle and manufacturing optimizations planned.
Manufacturing validation builds will start later this year, with full production ramping in 2026 and 2027.
Market dynamics and business model
Regulatory changes, such as the removal of greenhouse gas and zero-emission credits, and the end of the $7,500 tax credit, are short-term headwinds.
Artificially low EV pricing due to incentives is expected to end after September 30, reducing competitive pressure and shifting focus to hybrids and combustion vehicles.
R2 is positioned to offer a compelling alternative to Tesla, addressing the lack of consumer choice in the sub-$50,000 EV market.
The company is exploring capital-light and licensing business models, highlighted by a $5.8 billion technology deal with Volkswagen Group.
The Volkswagen partnership will debut with the VW ID.1, using the company's technology backbone across multiple brands and price points.
