If/when I'm ready to electric, Rivian is a no brainer. Hopefully it's still around.

The Out of Spec youtube channel has a couple and the guy who runs State of Charge on YT has one. The former always report that they're pretty solid except from time to time due to software issues (and they can be pretty harsh on cars). The latter loves his.

Doug Demuro loved the R1

Those look great as well, but I haven't seen anything on the actual Scout productions models yet.

Most reviews of these early pre-production R2s have been mostly glowing, at least that I've seen

But there are a few in Wilmington less than $20k. And I’ve seen a half dozen of them around town, so someone’s servicing them.

I’ve seen /read horror stories about the downloads/updates not working. Then what do you do?

The lack of having to get gas, always having a full tank so to speak, and the proliferation of DC Fast Chargers for road tripping has, as you said, made it a no brainer.
