# Rivian R2 officially launches June 9 – order invites, first deliveries, demo drives

Catalina Cove

The hotly-anticipated Rivian R2 is nearly upon us, and Rivian just gave everyone a single date to focus on: June 9.

Rivian has announced that the “official launch” of the R2 is less than two weeks away, with the first big salvo of order invites, customer deliveries, and demo drives all starting on that day.

It was announced via a Rivian Story blog post, which gives the specifics of what to expect on that day.

The R2 configurator has already been open for a couple weeks, but what will happen on June 9th is the first batches of invites for orders will be sent out. This allows you to change your configuration into a firm order, which will then be built and delivered within the subsequent 2-6 weeks.
