island, it's pretty cool that we're both still here. I don't post as much as I used to, but I remember your posts from back when I joined this forum as a teenager. I'm coming up on 40 in a few years, crazy. Yes, we've got a lot of cool features in the R1. Jam-packed with stuff to make your life easier if you're into adventuring.

Above a certain price point, I only recommend EVs to people who ask me what car to get (keep in mind my social circle is almost entirely California-based and these are mostly people who like to drive a nice car, but aren't necessarily "into cars"). If you can afford a Tesla Model 3 or Y, there is no better car on the market in that price point and segment. If you can afford a standard Model S, even better. In the high premium segments, our Rivian R1T and R1S are excellent, as is the Tesla Model S Plaid.

I'm not getting rid of my ICE vehicles. I have my 911, but I also have a few motorcycles that I ride more often than I drive the Rivian. A friend of mine came by with a Zero the other day. She works there and they have a demo fleet so she brought one by to let me try it out. I hopped on and went around some twisty roads by my house. It was fine, and it has its own character with a motor and gear whine noise, but so much of the motorcycle riding experience is in the combustion engine and the mechanical interaction of changing gears. An EV moto is not for me (or at least not right now).
