“Tesla, but nicer, and $20k more”

Also, while FSD has limitations, I have found it provides enormous utility for older people, and Rivian doesn’t yet have a competing product for FSD.

The Rivian R2 is not $20k more. It’s $5k more than the deeply stripped down Model Y base model.

The R2 base model is not as premium as the higher models but the Model Y base model is really deeply stripped down including some really barebones stuff like removing liner material from the frunk and removing some of the exterior LED lights.
