I agree, I have zero plans to get rid of all of my ICE vehicles. Heading out on a 10 day motorcycle trip next week and can't imagine having to deal with arranging my adventure around charging stops and range. No thanks.

I moved to the bay area 5 years ago, before I worked for Rivian. I moved up here because I got a job at NIO, a chinese EV manufacturer that's also building cool products. Although not for the US (for now). I seem to recall you're in the SF Valley? I stay in the valley when I come to L.A. If you're around maybe we can meet for lunch next time if I can get away from the family.
The R1S is in production now, and we're delivering them. You'll start to see them soon. I have a deposit on an S, but I really like owning a pickup truck (never had one before). I might walk away from the S, depends on when I get the call. You cannot flat-tow the R1S or T unfortunately.
