I drive a Rivian, it’s perfectly nice, mine is an R1T lease you’d have to be stupid to buy an EV right now with how fast they’re changing and while it’s nice in the sense that it’s quick and handles well it’s got serious issues with the GPS/infotainment it tracks you literally 24/7 and you cannot turn it off, there’s so many people on line talking about it and Rivian fanboys shouting them down about how they must be trying to cheating on their partners, like nah I just don’t consent to Rivian tracking me it’s really not that deep. The R1T has basically zero accessible interior storage and lots of things that should be buttons are hidden in a screen menu. I need a truck I live in the country and haul stuff in the bed on a very regular basis and I want an EV for very obvious reasons but the 24/7 tracking alone is a reason I likely won’t be getting a gen 2 R1T when my lease is up much less all the shitty software
