If the Hummer was $75k, I would buy it instead of the Rivian. But it’s not. And to me the 50% premium (before tax credit which GM no longer has) and going to the back of the line just isn’t worth it. Rivian is the best current value for what I desire. Tesla was that 6 years ago, but not any more. Someone else might be 6 years (or even 1) from now. But now is now. Rivian is the best value.Rivian forum users have also wanted:

We are in a good place in that there are starting to be choices to fill those wants. Any vehicle is going to come with compromises. The consumer has to pick what fits their needs best.
The Rivian is not and was never touted to be a vehicle that can be heavily modded to excel at off road.
