Appreciate your perspective and the insight Karl into your collection—that's a great lineup! I totally get where you’re coming from. The Rivian R1T is certainly breaking the mold when it comes to EVs appealing to enthusiasts. The combination of performance and thoughtful design gives it more soul than your typical 'appliance.' And hey, if it's holding its own next to a 570S, that's saying something! Thanks for sharing, and glad to have you as part of The Daily Vroom community.

Great conversation! Agree with almost all of what Matt said, especially about how important presentation and being an engaged seller is, and the difference between a known, frequent seller on BaT compared to an individual.

I don't agree about his comment about electric cars completely, though. I do agree that most Teslas are purchased as appliances, but I can assure you that we bought our Rivian R1T because it's a great enthusiast vehicle. We're car people and our collection has interesting analog vintage cars and modern performance cars. The R1T accelerates as quickly as our 570S and the interior is just as well-designed and put together, if not more so.

That said, we certainly expect it to depreciate like a normal car. It's not an investment. But that doesn't necessarily mean it's an appliance.

My $0.02. Thanks for all you do with the Daily Vroom!

Thanks Chris
