We got a Rivian R1S about 1.5 year ago and it’s honestly been my favorite car I’ve owned. i won’t pretend I got it for it to save the environment or for it to be super efficient. I got it because I loved the tech, loved that it had auto pilot, and most importantly that now our family hauler also has 835 hp.
We moved from suburban Atlanta to Oconee county last year and that’s where an unexpected benefit came which is by ability to ride HOV/peach pass all the way to Atlanta when I commute to work. Honestly, it shaves so much time off I am not sure I can leave the EV life until they kick evs out of the fast lane.
It’s nice being able to make a round trip of 140 miles without any concern on range and just power up at home. My old truck would live in the gas station.
Now, full transparency, we did buy another ICE vehicle for the wife once our 2nd was born simply because the Rivian was a little tight for 2 kids and 2 dogs. But other than that I love it.
