Rivian looks to be decent offroad. And very fast 0 to 60 and 1/4mile. About the same range in miles. And priced close to the same

They are officially delivering them to customers. First one rolled off a piece back.

Night and day to me. But I like ICE and I am very skewed.
Performance will favor the EV’s 0-60 and 1/4 mile mostly as well. But I need audio and the TRX provides that ten-fold.
The Rivian looks adorable and gets better range than my TRX…but this is hard for me to look at, almost cartoonish:

If the Rivian has Li-ion batteries then not interested at all, some of us need batteries that can handle very cold weather. Yes they may have heaters etc. but that would mean being able to plug in where ever you stop at. That is not an option where I live.

No sunroof. That's a deal killer for me.

120,090 in Canadian $$$... wow.. ouch (That's fully loaded)
I'm surprised you didn't put the Ford Lightning into the mix. I think the lightning will be oit selling the rivian by angling shot. Rivian has taken way to long to get their trucks out to the public. They ann themselves what, like 5 years ago?

The TRX and Rivian are equal in just about every metric - including offroad, price, speed...
Personally I am a ICE man. I love my 392. I had the option of Tesla S and/or Hellcat. I chose ICE because as stated above, I like the feedback. The rumble, the sound, rowing the gears. It is not an appliance to me, it is enjoyment, and the current electric vehicles take that away.

I figured that right after I posted what I did above, as the Rivian is categorizing more to offroad then the Lightning.
I love the tech and speed of the Teslas, and I also love the roar of a Charger Hellcat. I don't have either but the idea(dream) when the time comes, I will get the charger of the the Tesla for the exact reasons you stated. Now, if I could have both, I would, as the Telsa would be an awesome date night/grocery getting/long trip type car, but not spending $200k for both.

Electric is numb - fast - but numb.I figured that right after I posted what I did above, as the Rivian is categorizing more to offroad then the Lightning.

Now that said, an electric rock crawler would be a BEAST - imagine just turning a knob to maneuver the articulation. The problem is no 220V plug in at the top of the "peak"
Totally agree with the numb statement but you would never buy a 100D Tesla?

Nope. When my Camaro died, I looked at a lot of vehicles including Tesla, Hellcat Wide Body among others. The tesla was off the list fast. Braking sucked, handling sucked. Sure was fast as hell in a straight line but it was cometely numb.
