548 R1T Registrations in March 2024? Really?

[FutureTruck]

That's wild if true. And this was before factory was shut down for retooling. It's not like they were supply constrained.

F-150 Lightning - 2893

Seems low, but kind of understandable. In a lot of ways the R1T is a mid size truck with full size pricing. We've been looking at a truck for our business and the tiny bed, and lack of cap just won't work for us. We'd definitely go with the Lightning if we were buying right now despite absolutely loving our R1S

I guess they should bolt a dumpster on top of it and say it’s an AI robot.

There’s no accounting for taste.

I think R1S, R2 , R3s and EDVs should be the business (drop R1T from factory to save money )

I much prefer my R1T over the Lightning. Better towing capacity (which I do a lot of) and a form factor that small enough to fit in my garage. Perfect combo for me.

Curious what the R1S numbers were at that time. I used to see more R1Ts but over the last 3 months way more R1S on the road by me.

Cox automotive says in Q1 2024, these were the sales by model:

- Rivian R1T: 3261
- Cybertruck: 2803
- F150 Lightning: 7743

The single month of March seems kinda dumb to isolate:

Does that count include used models or just new?

For sure. And Q2 won't be a good quarter to compare either, considering the Rivian factory was shut down for part of Q2.

Just new

I had the Lightning and now my brother has it. Love my R1T way more.

If I were in the market and not time constrained, I would wait on the announced refresh too.

On the upside I have been seeing alot of good service experiences, so less deliveries seems to making the existing owner experience better.

We've been looking at a truck for our business and the tiny bed, and lack of cap just won't work for us.

Agree that the bed could be bigger. I do think there's a few toppers "in the works" plus an inflatable one a few folks have bought. Have you seen these?

Most of the other designs seem a bit more geared to camping/overlanding, than work purposes, though.

How many R1S? that will be the more popular one.

F150 is for truck people who do light truck stuff, Home depot, work a farm , haul short distance
Cybertruck is fancy toy, that is a "truck" the same way the Model S/3 are sports cars
The R1t is the luxury car with a short bed for those who love the idea of going off-roading, but likely never do, and want a pick-up but the F150 is too big.
