Being on different automotive forums for nearly 20 years now, I know how groupthink can take an isolated issue and blow it up artificially. For example - F80 M3 owners are ******** their collective pants right now over spun crank hubs that literally happen in 1 in 1000 cars, going so far as to install unproven "fixes" that cost thousands of dollars as a "preventative" measure.
Be careful not to lose your perspective folks! Generally speaking, the sky is not falling.

I’m not sure what to think of this new rivian. Any opinions here?

I put money down on the SUV since I own a Raptor... my brother in law was a VP of sales at Tesla and he told me all about it.. hence my deposit
My wife thinks I only have 3 guns
IMO, it'll be a badass starbucks-mobile and looks like it'll be ok for doing mild, slow offroad stuff. Will make a great DD. My trucks have three or four objectives: pull big loads long distances, raptoring (proper medium speed desert running), DD, road trips to places where i can raptor or otherwise camp, kayak, MTB, and do outdoorsy stuff. The Rivan will excel for DDing and be decent for kayaking & MTB transport, but it can't desert run, and can't do what my dirtymax does. For now, no place in my garage for it, but if they put a proper raptor equivalent suspension under it, I'd give one a very serious look. The remaining issue is I'd have to get over the range as I like road tripping my rap.
For a lot of raptor guys, depending on the price, it's going to be a compelling option.

The only hotel that I've seen across Baja with a legit charging station was at a little joint in the middle of nowhere near Guerrero *****. I'm sure there is something in ensenada and probably Rosarito, but I'd be packing a big ass generator in the bed if I was trying to take one on any serious off road trips.

I'd be tempted to dump money into a v8 raptor if they offer it. Only thing that bugs me about the raptor is the v6. I truly think it's the sound more than my ego, but who knows.
