For me, the benefits of the Rivian are that it's not solely a "work truck" - that is, it has a bed but not sized at the expense of passenger space or made longer at the expense of a maneuverable (and garage-able) length - and that it's capable of towing plus minor off-road work. I'm not an off-roader "adventure" driver at all. However, we camp and hike a lot, and many of the best trails are accessed through beaten up, potholed dirt paths that are impassable with our Model X. We frequently have to park a ways out and hike in to the trailhead and it'll be nice to have something that can get us to trailhead parking.
However, I also do need a semi-capable truck for hauling mulch, compost, and gravel from the soil yard to my home. Additionally, I need to be able to make dump runs on occasion with yard waste from pruning my vineyard or general cleanup. This truck has a small bed, but it's large enough for these infrequent needs.
