Lovely banter at the end there....

People always get hung up on the price. I had my truck pulled up in front of the Lowe's to load some shelving (750lbs worth, didn't even realize it was back there driving home) and a guy walked by and muttered "overpriced".

I got defensive "It's about the same as a TRX"

He replied "But a TRX will smoke that. "

I chuckled and directed him to the YouTube videos.

The point being: It's $80k, but for what you get it's priced appropriately. And, no it's not for everyone, nor is a Range Rover.

But, they uber point is really we need EVs with range down around $35k. Hopefully Fisker remains viable and the Pear isn't too weird for mainstream folks.

Despite the uninformed banter at the conclusion, the produced piece itself is very good and undoubtedly motivated some viewers to visit Rivian’s site and submit a reservation.

I think I'd have been a bit defensive too, but then likely just taken him for a quick rip to remove any doubt about its worth.

All I got from it was look what those 21s can do:

I'm excited to be an early adopter of the R1S (hopefully < 3 months from delivery)...been waiting a looooong time, and I feel <know> it will be worth it.

I think they missed an opportunity to note that Tesla didn't start off making $35k Model 3s. They worked up (or down?) to that point after launching with the much more expensive Model S. Rivian is on the same path with the R2 line coming in at a cheaper price point. I doubt they will ever have a Model 3 competitor but will likely get a lot more potential Model Y customers to cross-shop with an R2 product.

FWIW (anytime I see this acronym by the way I can't help but sound it out and it's so aggravating... Fa-Wee-W)
anyway, even a model 3 right now is 46,990. Tesla's 35k ev was a short lived endeavour which in today's economy, isn't really acheivable for any manufactorer unless it's severely compromised on range etc.
