There is one caveat, Tesla generally honors the price that you ordered at, not sure if they will with the CyberTruck, since it isn't out yet. Whatever, I will wait awhile, to let myself cool off, to decide if it is worth the price when it's my turn in line. I have both the R1S and R1T on order...

I'll keep my R1S maxpack reservation, living in Oklahoma I feel that 400 mile range is the minimum... now if it takes more than 2 years for me to get it, there may be other options by then.

Booster seat, lol, he might be in college before any of us gets the R1S... well it seems like it anyway.

Ok,then I’m getting in on this thread.

I suspect that there will be many aftermarket slides, at half the cost. So give it a little time, and you will be able to get something better for less money. $1500 is a lot of money for slide like that, can't imagine it costing more that $300 to make.

I have a cybertruck and a lightning on order. As far as maintenance, well there is no grantee that Rivian's will be better, or worse for than Tesla's, and remember you only hear the horror stories when it comes to repairs. I will keep my Cybertruck order, but will cancel my lightning, if the...

I doubt if they will actually make money on these vehicles for a year.

If they are still only making 10 a day, it can't imagine any grinding to a stop...

Seems a bit like saying, if I pollute, it doesn't amount to much... but you need to multiply that by a few billion people. However, having said that, I like to concentrate on what you did say, these EV's beat any ICE rivals hands down, and that is what will sway the world in the end.

Do to the secrecy that Rivian has, this question can't be asked correctly, it requires a timeline. i.e. Would you get the 300 mi version, if the 400 mi version wasn't available until 2023?

Fit and finish on the Texas and German Tesla’s should be much better, since the two casting improves the build accuracy.

Thanks Jarad, perhaps I’ll wrap it to protect the original paint

Oh, fastest production car ever. sorry Rob, cant keep people hanging

Yeah, Tesla will probably make only a million cars this year, and talk about that slow Model S plaid.

I curious about the black, the few videos that I've seen, it seem to be a satin finish, instead of gloss. Anyone have any ideas about this?
