Rivian is doing some testing in Tesla's back yard. I passed one a few days ago (matte black in dashcam pic) and passed another (green and black patterned) today on the same road.

It looked really good. The front lights look way better in person than in pictures and TV.
Here's a picture of the other Rivian from the side and back.

Thanks...based on photos, I do like the look of both the Rivian SUV and pickup. The SUV is tempting as it is way cheaper than the Model X and about the same size, and IMO, looks better. But doesn't have the Supercharging network unfortunately.

Rivian said the base price for the pickup will start at $70,000 if that is true to expensive for me.

Estimated price is $67,500 for the base model before the $7500 tax credit, so theoretically it'll be around $60k base. I have a reservation and don't plan to get the "fancy" version. If/when I get it, you're welcome to come by and check it out.
Maybe I am pricing them out wrong or you don't consider $25k difference to be a big difference in price. I didn't get in on TSLA early like a lot of people here so $25k isn't a meaningless amount. Then when you factor in the federal rebate you are really looking at a $32k difference...am I missing something?
The difference is even bigger when I price in the 6 seater vs 7 seater Model X...the bucket seats is what we prefer. However, since the R1S doesn't have that option i am only comparing the 7 seater models.

Nice!
Now that’s a truck we can get. Not too polarizing look, and most importantly to us, will fit in the garage.

So, Cybertruck 0.8" wider (with mirrors folded), 3" taller and 13 inches longer??
I hope Tesla will make a shorter version at some point. 232” makes it out of reach for a group of potential customers.

They just tweeted that they're on schedule for June. But that's for the first deliveries, not the long range. I'm looking at the first half of next year for my build, and very much looking forward to it.

Does it compare more to the Model X or Model Y? I was assuming the Y and the price would be close in that case. In fact, the Y compares favorably.
