I am in Germany, so even if I was in the market for a truck (which I am absolutely not), Rivian does not have vehicles here.

Beyond the politics involving Tesla, I just do not like the car. I had a Test ride with a Model Y and it just was not a good experience. I hate the touchscreen centered everything, etc. Beyond that, I just want a compact vehicle, which Tesla simply does not offer.

Given Tesla‘s features like the Live camera access and their allegations of employees sharing pictures recorded with the interior cameras of the car, I have as little trust in Teslas privacy promises as with any other manufacturer. They‘re also very expensive in insurance
