This piques my interest, however with absolutely horrid experiences with Hyundai/kia dealers in the past, I have my reservations. Especially as an ev is not as easily user serviceable compared to a traditional gasoline variant.
Will wait to see, but really excited for the rivian r3. I’m glad low cost commuter evs are becoming a thing… I’m just waiting for Toyota/honda to create a compelling offering.
Are Rivian actually bringing a car with a realistic price to market?
Side note: Agreed with your experience on Hyundai/Kia dealers, but I ended up getting an Ioniq 5 SEL AWD that - honestly - I absolutely love.
They're looking to release two smaller SUVs in the next couple of years

TIL. I thought the R2 was going to be another halo product similar to their current offerings.
They seem like a more realist company than Tesla or lucid. Their first vehicles being Amazon delivery trucks seems to ground them a bit more than a company trying to do purely luxury vehicles.
I mean they're still expensive, but it's a start I guess...
As someone who lives not far from their HQ, FUCK Tesla. Scam company lead by a guy who's actively trying to destroy the local watershed. Lucid I think are trying to do well, but they're definitely not competing in the typical mass market segment in the same way that Hyundai, Honda, et al are.
