Rivians do look kind of nice but I'm not willing to support any company with an exclusive charging network because that's just such a stupid awful thing to make and I don't know why anyone accepts it. I don't think people would accept like a Honda exclusive gas station so I don't know why people do it with EVs.

(Actually it looks like rivian will open their network to other vehicles later this year which is good, I still think it's stupid they ever made it exclusive in the first place but if they actually open it that's reasonable)
