[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have one, best vehicle I’ve ever owned. R1S isn’t that big - similar in size to an XC90 or Explorer.

So much hate and misinformation on this thread. Sorry you all can’t afford them. [/quote]

The R1S also has a curb weight over 8500 lbs!

It is a gargantuan behemoth terrible for our roads with that much weight.  Rivian owners get all of the benefits from driving on our roads yet avoid paying gas taxes even though they drive monstrously heavy cars that weigh more than a suburban.  With that much mass, rivian drivers are an insane danger to everyone on the road aound them. Imagine how much damage a Rivian owner can inflict on property and flesh if they're traveling only 50 mph in a 8500 lbs monster. They'd annihilate a family riding in a 3239 lb Honda Accord.

They need to close the stupid loopholes for light trucks and start taxing and regulating stupidly heavy cars like rivians as mini semi-trucks / heavy trucks that require appropriate class drivers licenses and taxation. [/quote]

Batteries are heavy. It’s not that big size-wise. [/quote]
