I would be more upset that I didn't have a great location to store my sunglasses.
I'm much more in the camp of: this was a very useful feature and I don't think it is worth the squeeze to go and remove it to save on cost for a vehicle that is this expensive.
I think that speed difference has more to do with how densely populated the area you live in. All the states I have lived in people typically drive 60-75 mph on the highway.
I don't think Alexa does the routing. I do have issues with Alexa actually finding the correct location. If there are multiple locations for a place it almost never locates the closest one.
To each their own. To me, the biggest draw of the R1 line is that it is the closest I have experienced to the "every vehicle". I don't have enough garage space for another car so a vehicle that can go almost anywhere off-road, can move toys, is comfortable on rough forest roads and is fun around...

I also wouldn't take anything under the skin as gospel yet with how much headway they have left.
You pay for it in handling. I've ridden in those and while they are soft and impressive it's not the same as a similar caliber independant suspension. The major differences being increased unsprung mass with a live axle and heavy side to side motion transfer when going over bumps that only...
I'm surprised to hear about the negative reviews here. Maybe it is my limited sample size so far, but the songs that I have listened to with Apple Music Atmos in the Rivian have been incredible.
Rocketman and the entire Rumor album was a joy to experience.
