I've seen a few of the rivians too. Not sure I'm calling them as ugly as grit. There more of a mid sized pickup SUV sized rig. Not sure a 4' bed is worth having. I'd want a 6' minimum.
Not sure if I'm seeing the same one(s) per say, have seen enough to say there are many here in greater Seattle area. Multiple colors. Just like Tesla, some colorsi like, some are just plain fugly....
I could be seen in one of these, that Tesla pickup.....no thanks.

I agree with the 6' bed but apparently most buyers don't. F150's with the 6.5ft bed are rare. I have had dealers tell me that they can't sell them so they only order the 5.5ft bed for inventory. Colors are purely a personal choice.

I know a guy that has a Rivian he likes it for the most part. It has a lot of storage in non-traditional places like under the hood and under the bed. A very high tech suspension with adjustable shocks and air bags. A great ride on all roads plus very good off-road capability. And it is rated to tow 10,000lbs, which is more than most tow with a half ton truck.

He was working for Rivian and got a great employee discount package. I don't know if he would pay retail for it.

His biggest issue seems to be the poor charging network. On long trips he mostly drives his Tesla since their charging network is much better.
