For vehicles with a large turn radius (like trucks) it’s a lot easier to back in to spots than it is to pull. To pull into a spot straight, you have to turn very wide, which is not an option in most parking lots. Go push a cart around with front wheel vs rear wheel steering and you’ll understand.
When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

Easier to back in then to back out if vehicles are all around you. Puts the steer wheels on the outside versus the inside.
We really like our Rav4 hybrid. I know a couple people with highlanders that really like them.
For the record I’ve never owned a large vehicle. I did live in Texas for a while so I’ve been around my share of oversized trucks and being able to get deeper into the parking place is one of the reasons I heard for backing in.

R2 will be 1H 2026. R3 after that. They're pausing the GA plant build for now, to focus on using the space at the facility in Normal, IL.
Rivian is looking for space in Central Iowa.. I'd be very skeptical if I was the landlord.

They lost billions before turning profitable in 2020. This is well known. They almost went bankrupt in 2018.
I can fit 3 across in my Accord, so I'm guessing a CRV would do it as well. Might need to buy some of the specific narrower 3 across car seats though.
So it looks like Tesla lost around $7B over like 11 years before becoming profitable, while Rivian has lost something like $18B in ~5 years? Is that right?Tesla Net Income/Loss 2010-2023 | TSLA

Looks correct, they both lost money and Tesla only recently became profitable.
