I dont know that one car has to be better than another to be good. Why cant the BMW be a good/great car as well as the R2. I've owned a few BMWs. They are good cars. I just prefer American made these days and Rivian fits the bill. There are so many choices out there these days that a car...
Companies produce products in a certain way that may or may not appeal to everyone. We are free to make that purchase or not. I agree with other posts-Rivian is not for you.

I just folded the 3rd row down when I picked the car up almost 3 years ago and have left it that way. I'm coming from small sports cars where I was grateful for enough space to put my sunglasses. So, the R1S is like a football stadium of space for me. I also buy cars knowing what I'm getting...

Agree. Think we're getting "spoiled" by the new-normal EV maintenance costs and forgetting the ICE maintenance costs. I just completed the 22k mile service and I thought it was very reasonable.
It's the hypercar I've been recommending for ages. Stick the new quad motors in a beautiful looking super/hyper car and there you have it-mid life crisis at it's best!
