I'm not sure if I've ever run across anyone who doesn't like the Rivian adventure life after a test drive....maybe a couple...The R1S doesn't seem big to us. It feels larger, but drives like it has a smaller footprint.
A) welcome to the community!
Washington has a law that prohibits test drives and price discussions unless you have a dealership. Since the purchasing process for companies like Rivian and Tesla is online, they are not allowed to offer test drives. It is a law that was essentially paid for by the traditional auto dealerships to keep out new competition.
Welcome to the forum. I'd also encourage to look at used Gen1's (2022-2024). You can pick up a used, low miles one, for about half the price of a new Tri. Just something to consider. The Gen1 quad motor is slightly slower to 60 at 3.0 vs 2.8 but it may not matter to you. For me it wasn't worth dropping another 50k for it. I already did that with my Plaid.
Gorgeous truck and I agree the 22's look very nice. I am curious why you went with the Tri if you aren't a speed guy? Not judging, just curious. Even the dual motor is reasonably quick.Purchased my first Rivian on 12/27/24, first got into the fun of driving EVs when I purchased a 2014 BMW i3, loved that little car and had a blast driving it but after several years of needing a truck I sadly got rid of it for a Honda Ridgeline pickup truck. Two Ridgelines later I traded in my Ridgeline and got the RqT Tri motor Max and I am once again totally loving being back in an EV. My wife has a 22' Tesla Model Y and we now share the Tesla charger at home. I am not an off roader or speed guy but I do like to be able to haul stuff, one of my serious passions is woodworking. Had XPEL put on full front, hood and mirrors with entire vehicle ceramic coated including those beautiful 22" sport bright wheels. My brother told me that the R1T isn't a work truck, I told him it definitely was, it hauls me to my office everyday
