If not for fear of political retribution, it would be an absolutely genius marketing campaign to offer short-term incentives to trade in a Tesla for an R2
After a bit of research, I landed on buying the Toyo Open Country A/T III EV LT here. They had the best balance of weight and performance at that OEM spec for me. Out of town now, but the new shoes go on next Thursday. I'll report back.
Definitely interested.

With lease deals like this, I'm somewhat curious to know if I'd come out ahead selling and doing the lease. If anyone else is toying with the idea:
Rough math tells me
my truck is probably worth around $60k according to KBB (bought a little under $90k after tax, pre-price hike). Standard...
Adding one more to the echo chamber. If I pre-warm the cabin, it seems to work, but once I'm in my truck, it seems like it plateaus around maybe mid-low 70s. Underwhelming.
I've unfortunately been in this position. The antenna popped off and comically cracked my panoramic roof. I replaced the glass and used a silicon weatherproof sealant for that damned shark fin. Good as new.
Just thought I'd chime in and say as someone who offroads almost exclusively for overlanding, I'm learning a ton from this post. Thanks all! The QM R1T has been great on everything I've needed to do and I fall in love with it again whenever I'm using soft sand and rally/drift modes. I'm at the...
I almost feel Rivian wins the category because it satisfies a different purpose, but happens to also be somewhat luxurious. On the luxury factor alone, I frankly wouldn't even consider it in the running. Nice to have my purchase vindicated with a win, though.
I appreciate the thoroughness of the post, but I quite literally described my feelings as ambivalent :). It's impossible to extrapolate a curve given this is my starting point. One thing to note is that cycle lifetime is heavily influenced by external conditions, hence why Rivian has an...
This is pretty important. I've taken my truck in for servicing panel gaps, alignment issues, and A/C. Past vehicle manufacturers would've never taken the same approach as Rivian. All issues have been resolved for free with no questions asked. Ironically, the maker for my least reliable vehicle...
For anyone interested in Rivian's quad motor system and specifically how it compares to a locking diff, I highly recommend this article (with comments from the Principal Engineer of Rivian’s Drive System team). It was one of the reasons I placed a pre-order to begin with...
Mine is still hot trash. Still only works after 5+ seconds or when I unlock my phone. iPhone 13 pro max. My efficiency and vampire drain have also ticked up, but it's getting colder up here in WA, so I'd probably attribute it to that more than anything.
