Sounds like you're deep-diving into the R1T. Sounds like you're deep-diving into the R1T, But I have some queries.
How's the real-world range compared to Rivian's estimates?
Any charging anxiety on longer trips?
How's the handling on rough terrain?
Any limitations compared to gas-powered trucks?

It is good that they have fast charging stations as support for this all electric trucks. I reckon that they would always deliver incredible performance with the high level of the components deployed into manufacturing the car.
