Faster Than the CT5

Yesterday,  my son-in-law's brother let me drive his slightly pre-owned Rivian R1S.  It is an all-electric three row AWD SUV.  Their website says 0-60 in 2.6 seconds and I completely believe it.  It is up pretty high so it probably does not outcorner the CT5 but it is still pretty impressive.   (Because electrics have a huge battery load low to the ground, their center of gravity is quite low, allowing for better cornering than you would expect from a 7000 pound SUV.)

It is luxurious and priced accordingly.   "Starting at $75,900."  I suspect the monster I drove was well above that.  I do not regret buying the CT5. I just hope the day is reached when chargers are so widespread and fast that buying something like this makes sense.
