I think that is awesome. I really think that Rivian makes great vehicles. The SUV is probably one of the best looking vehicles in the market except for the headlights.
Everyone I have talked to about getting a Rivian always mention the their dislike of the headlights. I have yet to talk to someone other than those on this forum tell me they like them. There very well be more people that like them than dislike them. I am just saying what I have heard.
People are buying them. I just wonder if they would have more buyers if the design wasn't so different. There was a poll. 22% on this forum preferred the standard headlights. The question is did other 78% buy a Rivian because it has the unique stadium lights?
You are absolutely correct on the ice build up on the headlights. LED runs to cool to melt it off. Also, I wonder if there also isn't enough air moving across them to clear the ice and snow. They could also add a warmer to them. I am curious what their upcoming designs bring.
I bought a Model S, which I think is the best looking out of all the Tesla's. I purchased it before the Rivian came out. Never said I wouldn't spend money on a Rivian. I would really like to get a taller ev for ground clearance. That is why I am interested in the R1T. Also, you are...
I did not know they tied the headlight shape to other parts of the vehicle. Interesting. Thank You. Much better response than what I got from the others.
