I own a Rivian too, and previously owned a Tesla. While I too have my gripes about the UX on the Rivian, it still beats the cr*p out of a Tesla.

Just curious in what ways, since you've actually owned both. I've only had Teslas, but I like the looks of Rivians.

Tesla UX gripes (may be specific to Model S 2020):

- Yolk steering is terrible

- Lack of physical knobs. Haptics are nice but haptics don't work well for cars.

- Tesla menus are getting stuffed more and more with options, making affordance and UI crowding much worse

- The horn is a button press...no one in a emergency situation is looking for a button press..

- Native apps (for example Spotify) are inferior to just using my phone via bluetooth

- Calendar integration / notification is too chatty
