Rivian ships its first customer truck...
Rivian completed it's first production truck today on it's assembly line. Really not a fan of the design, but interesting to see it finally get these moving.

I just don't get why they intentionally made it look like a frog or a bug.

Looks fine for that kinda vehicle. WAAAAY better than the frankly ridiculous and stupid-looking Tesla truck. While I'm here, f Elon Musk...

Yea, I don't disagree with that at all, but I already see if I was in this market I would have cancelled my Rivian order and put my money down on a F150 Lightning.

A doctor at my work has a few motorcycles. One is a Husqvarna Vitpilen that is a Swedish bike. Similar design language. He added brown, rustic leather accents too. https://www.bikeexif.com/motorcycle-concept

I would consider a short wheel base version someday. I like the design over the Teslas.

I actually like the interior. If you would've removed the Rivian logo and ask who probably made them, I would've thought Land Rover. Simple design, I like it.

I just couldn't live with the outside design though. Honestly I don't think many of the current truck clientele would. Truck owners don't want Swedish design, they want intimidating. At least that's the way truck owners are here.

The only thing I don't like on the Rivians is basically the front end. The headlights don't fit with the rest of the design imo. |
