   I'm pretty meh about Rivian after owning a R1S for a short while, but the new R3X looks wild, like a late 70s/early 80s Ford Fiesta but all hopped up to be a rally racecar

     @mathowie @mmasnick I was wondering the same thing. Thanks.

     I’d love a three row electric car, and this is nearly the only one. But… it’s so damn big.

     I just want a fully electric Toyota sienna with a 300-350 range. Is that so hard?

     Sure, I’d love it if it were fast and handled well. But I have one of those. Now I need a people mover. Eager to move on my sprinter camper van, but… for what?

     @mmasnick it was too big and heavy, and handled like a giant chevy suburban, but in a straight line it had insane speed (to the point it was overbuilt for 0-60). Also I've known a few people that worked there and they said it was pretty terrible place to work for tech folks and all the upper management hates customer requests to add CarPlay to the dash units, and they'll never add it. No CarPlay is a dealbreaker for me at this point.

     @mmasnick @mathowie same. I will probably take a look at it. But man I really don’t want an SUV, especially one with the huge vertical front. They are less functional in every way. And I don’t need the testosterone injections that apparently come standard with all of them.
