This is exactly why I canceled my Cybertruck reservation for an R1T. Tesla was the only company offering a realistic path toward an electric outdoor vehicle, but I immediately canceled when I read about the R1T because it is actually seems to be designed with outdoor users in mind, while still being functional as a daily vehicle.

Their customer service is also pretty stellar - they even gave me the dimensions of the truck bed ahead of time, so I can build out a camper top in CAD and have it ready before my upcoming delivery.

Rivian is a new automaker. It took Tesla a decade to build up service centers everywhere.

Lets see how well their costumer service does when need to repair it.

Personally the Cybertruck seems to fit my needs a lot better for hauling large objects due to the larger truck bed size.

We'll see how Rivian does once they actually ship something, I have nothing to go on with them.

For Tesla I know the software, charging networks, and current tech is pretty stellar. No clue about Rivian.
