As a Rivian fan, the kitchen is an overpriced POS compared to the original vision. Original concept fit in the R1Ts gear tunnel and would slide out and basically be a full kitchen. Not sure if it was a cost issue or engineering issue, but they nixed that and replaced it with a glorified $1400 hot plate. The one they released is usable with the S so that's good, but a far cry from the original concept.

Are used cars getting more? Carvana sent me an email wanting to give me another 1,000 from their original offer 3 months ago. It may be their tactic to buy cars but I never had this happen to me before.

“Let’s copy the Infiniti J30 which was ugly and failed and make ours uglier so it fails even harder”. That was one really offensive looking car. Seems the N version lives.

I always thought they were kinda cool looking. No reason to buy it over the Ioniq 5 though

These cars remind me of the CL and I actually liked it.
