I have been leasing a Rivian R1T 2026 model for the last 6 months. Overall I like the vehicle, especially its interiors and practicality of the various cargo options (frunk, gear tunnel, truck bed). I also feel very safe on the road, even when it rains or snow heavily. The 420 miles autonomy allows peace of mind, especially given the compatibility with most Tesla superchargers.
My biggest gripe is about the electronics. The hands free cruise control works well but it's not nearly as good as Tesla's FSD. For example, it doesn't follow the navigation system, and won't stop at a stop sign or red traffic light. It will only keep you on the lane and at safe distance from the car ahead, which is ok on the highway but not very useful anywhere else.
Trip planning has been affected by a bug for several months, so the battery estimates are completely wrong, and as a result I've almost remained stranded a couple of times. Despite this being a known bug on Rivian forums, the company hasn't yet done anything about it in the last two software releases.
Overall, the R1T is a decent vehicle but definitely not worth the price, and I wouldn't recommend it.
