@Dylan I will reserve judgment until I see one IRL, which, as @slirt knows, in our area, won’t take long when the deliveries start.

The (for example) is actually not very big. It has quite a low profile. More Honda Ridgeline than F150. Probably a necessity for aerodynamics, handling and range. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

The looks more like a traditional truck, with a few nods to its high tech aspirations (mostly lighting).

Time to spill the beans since some of you picked up on the more subtle hints and asked: on New Year’s Eve we, uh, *stumbled* into purchasing a Rivian R1T electric pickup truck (more on that shortly). Let me just say that this is a GORGEOUS vehicle that is so fun to drive (and fun to show off), and I can’t believe it happened so quickly! But we did it, it’s ours, and I feel like an excited little boy every time I drive it. 😁
