Late to this post. Thermal solar water heaters to supplement the heating of water by the (heat pump) water heaters. You're going to need a lot more batteries for solar storage that you probably expect, especially if you are doing climate control of the house with electricity. And a bigger solar...
Lucid's motors are amazingly compact too, as well as being super efficient. If they had an air suspension that could be altered on the fly (like Rivian's) I might have partly considered it...but I needed a work truck capable of towing, and the Air (or upcoming Gravity) just don't fit my needs.
Rivian has...100K users, and maybe a few score programmers. Apple has more employees, than Rivian has active customers, and thousands of programmers that do things for Apple car play that aren't actually Apple employees. Rivian will NEVER be that comprehensive. They should leverage those Carplay...

Your desire for all terrain style tires, leads to a problem...tire weight on those is usually considerably heavier than all season tires. I got the AWZ1 wheels (due to light weight...actually I'm the one that initiated the special order for this rim), so I wanted a light weight tire that still...

One of the reasons I got my wrap on my R1T was so that I wouldn't worry about branches scraping the sides of my truck. The color change is nice too. But the original reason was to protect the stock paint.
