Well, from what heard a lot of people do not think of it as welcoming. Looks like a droid.

You mean your bubble...

My 70s dad doesn't get it either...I'm not surprised it doesn't fit the "retired" look.

Regardless, I like how faithful all of you are. I almost bought the R1t last week.

Good for you. Your literal first post here is to complain and provide an “I know more than you because of some people I’ve talked with” remark.

If you’re looking for immediate acceptance or acknowledgment of your opinion, you might not get it. Shocked!

Who doesn't love a droid? It's also frequently been referred to as a "happy hippo". Regardless of what it reminds you of, it's distinctive and never confused for anything else currently on the road.

Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe has admitted that the R1T and R1S’ stadium headlights may turn off some buyers because they look so different from any other headlights out there. But in a statement to Inverse back in March 2019, Scaringe suggested that the stadium headlights could actually be a compelling feature, especially since it has a great Easter egg.

True. It will not get confused.

While we’re at it. Let’s tell BMW to shrink their kidney grills.

Always makes me think of this:

Guess that just shows my age!

Anyone willing to bet they are going to change the headlights to something more standard?

Even if a droid, it’s hard to pick any other modern truck design in the U.S. that has a more welcoming look than an R1T. Yes, my opinion

True. It will not get confused.

And that was exactly RJ's goal.

I think Lexus has the biggest grill of all

Ignoring this guy here and moving on… he thinks he’s important.

Please move on.

One of my favorite early Rivian videos had a scene with an interview with one of their senior engineers who told RJ she wasn't a fan of the headlights. According to her, RJ's response was "don't worry, they grow on you."

I did this to break up the front end. Works on the lighter colored trucks. So far, polls of the "Rivian" community have been split about 55/60 to 40/45. Those not part of the "Rivian" community however, overwhelmingly prefer it nearly 80/20. I'm still on the fence myself. Was easy to add with vinyl and will be even easier to remove if that's what I choose to do. It does help distract from the headlights though, part of the reason I do like. Like many, love the truck from all angles but the front has never been my favorite.

Was more on the fence about the "RIVIAN" until I saw the flashing charging sequence at night. Looks really cool changing the four shades of green.

Funny, I would never attack someone for stating an opinion. I didn't say Rivians are pieces of crap buy a Tesla. I hope one day to own Rivian. Some of you need to take a chill pill.
