I originally wrote this in December, but life gets in the way.
I'll have a part two here shortly that talks more about my experiences I've had with it so far.

It's good, and articulates the pros and cons of the Rivian well.

I agree with you on pretty much every point you made, from Driver+ to the amazing breadth of versatility the R1 platform offers.

It's amazing how much has changed via software since my initial ownership and while it's amazing, I think we've all become the kid saying "Please sir (Wassym) may I have some more?!?! It's hard not to want even more from a software defined vehicle, with software defined suspension and so in, but in the end, despite some imperfections along the way, still hands down, best money I've spent on a vehicle.

Thanks for reading through and for the response!

Totally! When you have the right amount of high quality hardware that can be updated (OTA!)... Possibilities seem endless <3

Very thankful I was able to secure mine <$100K even though I missed out on the 2022 $7.5K tax credit and the O.G. pricing. Man what a hella of deal for those folks!
