This will likely generate a few more R1T reservations.

And that was written for Business Insider, who also published that bull$hit NADA sponsored piece saying Rivian and Lucid are struggling BECAUSE of direct sales….

Doesn’t get into much detail, but it’s about as concise a comparison of the first 3 electric trucks ever as one could do.

So they think these three vehicles target the same market? More like three markets: glamping, Kowdashians, and people who need a truck.

LOL, yes very different vehicles, but it seems the author knows this well:

These trucks serve such vastly different needs and personalities that crowning a winner is almost no use. It's kind of like comparing a mountain bike, a road bike, and a folding bike — they're just different. Still, since these are the only electric trucks available right now, there are bound to be at least a few people cross-shopping them.

What’s the wood in that OC interior? It looks different than the dark ash in mine.

That's the originally planned but now discontinued wood trim for Ocean Coast. They gave up on that and replaced it with the dark ash that you have.

Maybe? I didn’t think so, though — that one was more of a salt-wash look. Been awhile since I took these at Venice Hub though.

Same stuff, likely demonstrating the lack of consistency that prompted Rivian to give up on that particular finish.
