That thing is not my cup of tea, but I like the crabwalk.

While you can connect 2 cars to each of those chargers, I'm pretty certain that the output rating is the max output, and that the total is shared between cars (Tesla does this at their "regular" Superchargers also -- the first car to plug in gets max output, if another car comes in, it will get at least 10% of the power, then as the first car ramps down its charge, the 2nd car ramps up in ~10% increments)... To compare, Tesla has 3 outputs:[list][*]Urban supercharger: 72kW. But not shared -- each car can get up to 72kW[*]V2 Superchargers: These output up to 145kW. [*]V3 Superchargers: These output up to 250kW. Many V2 sites have also been updated to V3...

It was filmed in fall 2019, but they have 2 Rivian prototypes along with 2 electric Harley prototypes being used for the trip (Argentina to LA...). Worth a watch -- and I think I'm going to need to go visit Rivian once travel resumes for work...

Honestly... For what they are offering, it seems pretty "reasonable." What else can you buy in the near-ish term that's anything like this? It's a lot better looking than the cybertruck, a lot more capable, and also utterly unlike it.
It's clearly being marketed as a halo car. Also, I feel pretty confident that this is actually intended to lead the introduction of electric work vehicles. Which, it's worth noting, don't cost *that* much less than this thing. A midrange 2500HD with the diesel is ~$55-60k.
