I'm necroing an old post; not sure if I mentioned it, but I got to test drive my uncle's Rivian last September when I spent a few days with him in Florida. I have to say, hands down, it's a f**king NIGHT AND DAY difference, to me anyways, than a Tesla. I like how it drove, loved how it accomodated us tall people (my uncle and I used to be the same height, but he shrunk an inch or so in the past few years, but still being over 6'2, I haven't yet found a Tesla that made me really feel comfortable in the front seats).
Still not practical for my purposes, given how rural I live, and the fact that I've lately been towing with my TDIs like 3 out of 5 trips (attaching different trailers to all three cars). Since I posted this, I do have electricity on the ranch, and I guess semi-related to the off-topicness of this thread, I've been investing in more LifePO4 batteries, and need to make another investment in panels, as while I'm connected to co-op power, I'd like to use solar as much as feasible, but build my own system (because installers are such a rip off).
