Rivian does seem to get the EV market. I would go with the dual motor long distance battery. The 2 motor is fast enough. Would rather have more range. Getting one around 60k would be fairly reasonable. My concern is still range and charging infrastructure. Will probably get a 4Runner Trailhunter. Maybe in 5-10 years these will be more practical for long trips and towing. Hybrids or PHEV's seem to make more sense for now. EV's are getting better every year.

I'm not hugely interested in EVs but if I were to get one, I'd probably go with a Rivian. Particularly the R1S. Really nice updates. The thing that still keeps me away is the pricing, which is no shade to Rivian. EVs just cost more than I'd like to pay for what they are.
@fpartidafpartida3 ай бұрын
Agreed, EV are most expensive…but if this had a gas engine, it would be a bargain. Show me a ICE equivalent (saying this last comment in a friendly tone). Any vehicle you mention I will find a shortcoming either on or off road compared to this. Not to mention that once you go ICE, you would give up it’s storage capacity, it’s durability (my R1S comes with a 175,000 mile warranty that includes the battery), “fuel” economy, the convince of not getting oil changes or going to a gas stations. If this didn’t exist, I would probably buy a Toyota Land Cruiser. Other options might be a Chevy Taho ZR1 or a Defender 110. All three of these have so many compromises that Rivian R1S doesn’t.

Couple changes I dont care for are the lowering of the turn signal and having 3 cameras clustered in the mirror. The turn signal will affect me, a person who can't dream of owning one of these, directly by obscuring it behind other cars. Some nearby intersections fall apart because turn signals either being to low to see or not being used. I know, i know, they should remake those intersections. I have been barking up that tree to no avail, alongside local law enforcement and the fire department. The 3 cameras wont effect me much, but it will hurt whoever owns these when that mirror gets side swiped or hit with a ball bat by some bored teenagers. Of course i dont see teenagers doing the old "mailbox golf" much anymore.
