I'd Turo a Rivian for a week before pulling that trigger if you haven't already done so. Rivian's software leaves a lot to be desired AFAIK and you're at the mercy of Electrify America and their ilk (VASTLY inferior experience compared to the Supercharging Network, like BAFFLINGLY worse).

I’m sure ppl get used to it, but I have had a hard time riding in Rivian R1S I’m not a person who gets carsick at all, but something about the way that R1S accelerates gets me.
Taking it on a trip to Sacramento today so I will update you. But from the drive home I loved it. Really quiet (compared to my 2015 Prius which is a tin box) and just a smooth drive so far

Just got delivery of my car 
it is amazing LR Red with Nova. The only advise from accesory is do not buy the original mudflaps since they suck its installation.

Hey yall, I decided to go with other ev unfortunately. While I really really loved the car, I am not happy with Tesla’s communication a single bit. I don’t trust their communication will be any better when I will eventually need a service on a car. So it was $250 + many accessories worth of lesson on my end, and I am cutting my loss here and won’t pay Tesla any more money. Good luck everyone.
I had a good experience with the Tesla Mobile Service properly aligning my new Y in 2020, who did the work right in my driveway within a week of taking delivery. Suggest carefully checking that there is not any apparent physical damage to the door hinges, etc, and if not, the door alignment will take all of 20 minutes for a good tech like I had. In fact, the Mobile Service made other adjustment / repairs over the course of a week to get the Y up to specs. That was when Tesla quality control was poor, and now it appears new Teslas have much better quality control with body issues. Scheduling service appts over the app takes some getting use to, but it worked well for me. My Service Centers (Dublin and Berkeley in CA) have been top rate, but you can never get them on the phone (like most companies these days), just use the app. Happy that you received your Highland.
So I took delivery last Friday and traded my old car in. It still had a payoff amount. I just got an email from the loan company that said my payment was still due this month for my old car, so I gave them a ring and they said Tesla had not paid off the trade-in yet and the account was still open. Money is due to come out of my account on the 20th, any idea what I should do here? If I end up paying the loan payment then I imagine getting that money back from Tesla will be an absolute nightmare, but if I don't make the payment then its going to ding my credit score as a missed payment???

Highly recommend the mudflaps from EV base. They come with all of the pins needed to install. Took me about 15mins total. Front and rear!Just got delivery of my car

For the rear just make sure you watch a video or pay attention to how to bend the flap to lock the tab into the bodywork! It’s a little physically difficult on purpose once they are locked in the mudflaps are perfectly shaped to the car, zero gap.
man sorry to hear --- i think something fishy is going on with tesla deliveries in atlanta --- cars don't seem to be making it here......
interested what other brand EV?
and since your a bourbon guy -- my go to is "dragon's Blood"
1/3 jack daniels single barrel (better with barrel strength)
1/3 old forester 1910
1/3 woodford double oak
I decided to go with Cadillac Lyriq AWD, picking it up on 22nd. 500hp and 308mi epa range with 102kwh battery so the car is pretty decent package for money considering $7500 tax credit + extra discounts that I am qualified for. When I testdrove the car, I felt the car was comfortable, quiet and quick for its size. I believe GM is going to offer Tesla’s supercharger access this year, so hopefully long road trips aren’t so bad.
I really wanted model 3 because I am more of a small sedan guy. Also it is really great car too. I hope your March 20th delivery goes smoothly! And I will try dragon’s blood. That sounds amazing!
Just know you are R&D. They make about 2,000 of those things a quarter. Unlike the model 3 and Y which are the #1 and #2 car sold in the world by volume. In 10 years Lyrics won't exist.

For those waiting, hope you get it soon. I know I only had to wait a week so I can’t relate but just know it’s worth the wait.
I’m coming from a January 2019 model 3 AWD, my wife had a 2023 model 3 rwd, and this one blows my 2019 out of the water. It’s definitely better than my wife’s 2023 in terms of comfort and noise but not by a lot. The 2019 just doesn’t seem like a well built car compared to the 2024.
