The long range model’s EPA range is 240mi, so 120mi while towing, more like 100mi considering that you absolutely cannot run an EV 100 to 0, and that’s best case scenario. That maximum 100mi is not enough for a day of landscaping.

The slate software is in no way going to be the industry standard. Car manufacturers are all looking to create parasitic software for their cars.

Slate is DOA based solely on how terrible the range will be.

To be fair, I’m waiting on the R2 as well, but I’m strapping in for first generation fit and finish issues galore. Rivian hasn’t surpassed Tesla in software or aftermarket flexibility.

Not to mention, we probably won’t be able to take delivery until late this year despite paying for a reservation from this past March.
