We are getting ready, so you do not have to worry.
The Rivian R2 and R3 platforms are expected to use single-piece gigacast underbody construction. That changes how collision repair works. We are investing in equipment, training, and OEM procedures now so reservation holders have a real repair option from day one.
Answer
What is changing with R2 and R3 repair?
R2 and R3 are expected to use gigacast single-piece underbody construction. Crash damage that used to require multi-panel replacement can become a structural decision about whether to section or replace the casting. We are tooling and training for sectioning so owners have a repair path, not a forced total loss.
Our readiness program
What we are doing right now
Equipment investment
Gigacast-capable welding cells, precision cutting tooling, and updated laser frame measuring.
Technician certification
Our lead technicians are training on cast-aluminum sectioning, bonding, and corrosion-protection protocols.
OEM partnership
We are coordinating with Rivian Service to align on procedures as soon as documentation publishes.
Insurance education
We are briefing major carriers so adjusters value gigacast repair correctly when claims arrive.
Priority list
Reservation holders get an early invite for assessment, education, and priority booking when vehicles ship.
Knowledge content
Blog posts, downloadable guides, and video walkthroughs as the procedures become public.
We will publish a public roadmap once Rivian shares more.
For now, you can expect quarterly updates from us on equipment, training milestones, and early customer programs. Join the priority list to be notified directly.
