    I like the size and the looks of Rivian's truck a lot more than Tesla's Cyber truck. A cheaper price would definitely add more appeal. But there is the issue of Tesla's Supercharger network compared the EA network. I travel a lot with my M3 and have used a lot of Superchargers, while some weren't as fast as I would have liked they always worked. The last time I tried the EA network with my Energica Eva 107 I couldn't charge at all despite trying three chargers and one long phone call to customer service. I ended up charging on L2 so I could reach an EVgo DCFC charger which did work. I am on the east coast so there isn't much of an alternative to the EA network for anyone traveling in a non-Tesla EV. Lack of a reliable charging network is going to hurt Rivian sales.
