I’ve heard about Rivian for a long time, but only looked into their vehicles last week and I immediately fell in love. I’ve got a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee that I want to replace soon, and the R1S is the first thing I’ve seen that has the right specs and really appeals to me.
I need something that is both a daily driver and a road trip vehicle as we take several (~1000 mile each way) road trips every year. Plus, we have a ranch in the Texas Hill Country that requires some serious off-road capabilities, and good cargo/dog hauling specs.
I’m not ready to order a Rivian yet as I’ve learned from past experiences (Fisker Karma) to avoid first generation anything. Plus, we drive from Austin to Denver a lot and there’s virtually no EV charging infrastructure along that route yet.
So, I’m lurking here for now, and will hopefully order a Rivian in a few years when they have the kinks worked out and there is better charging infrastructure in the places I travel. Also, no Apple CarPlay is currently a dealbreaker for me as we use Waze on our trips.
