Stupid move. Teslas are problematic, and this will be much more so as it’s a much smaller and newer company. Also, the range while towing is probably going to be worse than that, depending on hot/cold/hills/payload/constant highway.

I sure as heck wouldn't be an early adopter on a Rivian. As stated earlier, Teslas still have their problems so I would wait and let someone else be the first to take the plunge on a new EV like Rivian.
