Announcing our new "CLUBS" section where you can join or create a Rivian club or group! You can use this new feature to conveniently plan and discuss local events, gatherings or other club/group related topics.
So we encourage you to join (or start) special-interest and regional-based Rivian clubs at: https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/group-categories/clubs-groups.1/
Agreed, crossover is not for me either.Yet another fastback crossover design. I'm sure it will be all the rage but that doesn't work for me. Aside from being electric and riding on an amazing platform that should be a blast to drive, the thing I love the most about the R1S is that it is truly a box on wheels. No sloped rear glass lopping off valuable cargo space.
I feel the same way.. The Rivian is my top pick but it's just outside of my comfortable price range.. so I feel torn. I may stay with normal cars until the used Rivians are affordable or the right EV comes out at the right price.As much as I love the Rivian design, I'm having a hard time justifying spending 50% more for a R1S when the Mach-E would suit my needs just fine. I won't make a final decision until the full specs and price list are available for both, but right now I think I'd lean towards the Ford.
Are you saying the mustang e is worse than a Honda Odyssey ?To argue this vehicle does the job over an R1T means the driver doesn’t need the full skill set of the R1T in the first place.
I live in the country. I have for 20 years now. This Mustang will not handle the snow covered roads where we used to live or the rain covered roads where we currently live.The clearance will not manage the backwoods roads and trails we drive regularly. The Mustang is pretty, but so is the R1T.
Personally I have no problem justifying the price on the R1T because with our use, we will be getting our money’s worth. The R1T will last 15 years for us despite our heavy use and then the batteries will become home power storage. I have wanted a truck but could not justify the gas mileage for 20 years. My wife is excited about the R1T. She snickered at the Mustang.
Yes. Mustangs are not intended for carrying stuff, they are sporty people haulers. If you need the capacity of an Odyssey, a Mustang cannot fulfill that role.Are you saying the mustang e is worse than a Honda Odyssey ?
