Not bad at all... so basically the size of an X7 which is not huge. My brother has a '21 X7 M50. I know this much, it fits in a small two car condo garage as it is currently stored at my former residence while his home is under major renovations. Anyways... my former '14 4R Limited was parked where his X7 currently is.

RJ Scaringe, the founder and CEO of Rivian is a much more likable guy. He also appears to genuinely care about people as well as the environment. Smart guy too, MIT grad with a doctorate from there as well.
Not run by Musk is definitely a positive as far as I'm concerned

Truthfully, I think the Gen 5 4R might be wider than the G07 X7? That is the impression I have from seeing both parked in my former garage.

Some of those numbers seem a bit wonky. For example, the RRS being supposedly wider than a full size Range Rover. The RRS is the exact same platform (even the same wheelbase) just a little shorter...so I doubt that the actual width is different. Not sure about the other numbers but those 2 jump out at me.

Thinking about getting rid of the rest of my TSLA. Not a big position but I think this might be the right time to let it go.

Seems like a good time. The valuation is pretty ridiculous vis-a-vis real tried-and true companies.
