Tacoma Vs. Rivian

To all the Rivian fans. Pause for a bit...., pick up your collapsed jaws off whatever surface that they hit, as your eyes settled on this magnificent work of sublime art. hurriedly wipe off the saliva that came flowing off of said jaws, close your mouths, take a deep breath, exhale and just know, that when all is said and done, all is still just right with the world after all.

 

Is the sublime art in the Tacoma? That 4.5’ bed of the Rivian does limit your sublime art sizing.

 

It’s too bad the truck spoiled the view of the art.

 

Congrats on the SR5.

I'm absolutely stunned that this thread is still going.

 

There’s occasional bits of useful information coupled with lots of crying about how EVs will destroy mankind as we know it. All in all, a typical TW style thread that rarely sticks with the original topic.

 

Rivian fanbois, don't go away mad, just go away. Here's your happy place: https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/

 

Why would I post on a Rivian forum about my Tacoma?

 

I’m good. That forum is pretty boring.

 

I saw about 5 Rivians yesterday. Seems like an odd vehicle to tool around town in. It's not so much the vehicle, but the environment that the vehicle is driven in. You'll see addicts homeless, panhandlers, and a Rivian all sitting at the same intersection at the same time.

Capitalism, still the greatest show on earth.

 

What would be a more suitable vehicle ? 1 wheeled wheel barrow filled with crack?

 

Something a little more modest maybe. For some reason a Braubus tuned G Wagon, or a Platinum F-150 dose not look as out of place in the same setting.

It's America babe ya gotta love it.

 

RIVIAN updates it's configurator for motor and MAX pack configurations.

Some talk of the R2 and R3 line too.

Also, that’s RJ Scaringe, the Rivian CEO, not Steve-O even though they look like twins now.

 

Performance dual motor looks like the ticket.

 

600 HP isn’t enough?

 

I’d like to see braking distances too. That extra 600-700 pounds for the Max Pack can’t be good (although dropping two motors has to help).
