I just saw one on the road yesterday here in Chino Hills California, and I was astonished at how incredibly worse the thing it looks in person than in the promo photos. I was pretty ambivalent about this truck before seeing one in person, now it's hard to imagine how anyone thought this was going to turn out well.
The back tailgate is just an enormous grey not-quite-flat slab that looks exactly like a commercial kitchen dishwasher door that someone clicked on in a CAD program and stretched to truck size.
And the stainless steel panels overall, despite being nearly brand new already looked like they had a bunch of fingerprint streaks or some sort of surface discoloration in a number of places, that really detracted from what was, I expect, an intended effect of clean severity. All the proportions read as very ungainly with the weight gathered in awkward visual masses, at least when seen up close from eye level. The panels already displayed just the slightest bit of imperfect matching between adjacent coplanar surfaces. I can't imagine how rough the thing is going to look in two or three years.
I would take a rivian over two of these things any day of the week, even if it does look like Bomberman.
