Sold my Tesla X and leased a Rivian R1S. Very happy with the vehicle. Have driven 1300 miles in the last month, and did a trip from Portland to Seattle and back. Range is ~395 miles, charging is fast and plentiful. Also got caught in a snowstorm and had zero issues.

No point in getting such expensive cars.
*Onto would rent you the car month-by-month on similar terms to a lease, but you could swap cars etc.
Unfortunately, they went bust,

(The car is polling the status of the and is draining the 12v battery while doing that)
The charging network is good, but otherwise other EVs exist that are much better.
A lot of reality distortion about self-driving with Tesla.
*Question* How do you like their sounds in general in real-world use?
It's getting harder and harder to find a vehicle that's a βnormalβ size.
If you have family, it's obvious.
Btw even if all the kids are now young adults, family extends to doggies πβπ¦Ίπ©
Life is all about compromise.
Disagree? Let me know why after shutting off that device that lets you skeet.
Debating between the R3X and the ioniq as my next city car in a year or two.

We have to wait for the R2. The R1 would take too much room in the garage. Barely fits under the door. Weβll take a bath selling the Tesla but I have no qualms about that.
We're just not ready yet. π€£

The absolute position would be to buy nothing from companies with financial institution or big tech ownership. But for me this is a matter of degrees, and ever descending layers.

SUVs are not my type of car, but the looks of the Polestar 3 are spot on. Only have been inside the EV9 GT-Line dual motor, it's a lot of car for the money.
Enjoy.
I have an Ioniq 5 Epic and am very happy with it. Drove a 6 for a little while when my 5 was in for repair but am happier with my 5 (fortunately!)
If I was buying today I'd look at BYD too for sure.
It really depends on what you need.
That said, Rivian would be a good choice if they ever come here.
