I think the bed size is completely a subjective issue. For some its too small, for others it can be just fine. Heck I'm sure there'll be people that wish it was smaller. There is a reason why there are multiple sizes of cars/SUVs/trucks etc...

I found that line interesting as well. I am curious as to what a pickup's "intended use" actually is for it seems like these vehicles are quite capable of doing whatever any other pickup can do.

My guess is that it’s going to be a while until we see one of his patented reviews. Rivian seems really focused on getting cars into consumer hands and since they’re still scaling up, I think it’s going to take awhile for them to build enough cars to where they’ll have extra ones to give to media.
Or maybe it could be that since these are pre-production vehicles, they decided to do some cost cutting on production because who cares what the inside materials of the frunk/gear tunnel looks like on a car that will never be sold or touched by a consumer?
FWIW, it says on their website that all non-LE vehicles will begin to start deliveries in January 2022.

Hi All,
I'm not a pre-order holder nor was I following the brand too closely until my partner was hired by Rivian this past year. Since then I've been turned onto their product and can't wait to see one in my driveway! Now the decision is whether we go with an R1S or an R1T (if I can convince...
