You’re right. They look different and possibly serve different needs. But I also think the market for “real” suvs isnt that big, and 95%+ R2’s will never touch dirt roads.
I think plenty are content with crossovers, and that ultimately, pricing is more important.
I think Tesla has a strong...
I strongly disagree the R2 would outsell the Juniper by 3:1 even if Rivian production was there. Maybe 1:1 at best
Also, Tesla has the ability to cut prices by $3-4K if they felt they needed to.
The IX3 wasn’t driven to empty. They stopped well short, and only drove 300 miles. I’m quoting the mi/kwh during those 300 miles.
And if you’re going to cite the OOS video, cite it properly without fudging with your own calculations
No. What you’ve shown is that the Model Y Juniper actual highway range might be better than their highway epa range. Which would be good for Tesla—if anything, tells me that perhaps Tesla is no longer overstating their actual range.
You haven’t shown that Rivian R2’s actual highway range is...
The Gravity is actually doing decently well, given what Lucid put into it. But they spent too much time and resources on the Air.
If they went straight to the Gravity, things might be different now (or at least they’d have more money)
I’m not talking about range. I’m talking about EFFICIENCY at highway speed. So 300 mile sample size is plenty for data
I converted 263wh/mile to 128 mpge since that’s what everyone is looking at here for some reason.
I’ve always said actual highway mpge for the iX3. The extra battery pack and better charging speed are added benefits. Read it over again.
Edit: I’ve highlighted it for you.
BMW notoriously understates their actual mileage versus epa. Whereas Tesla and Rivian both overstate their epa range. The actual range tests by people in an IX3 is what I’m quoting.

If you come across actual highway mpge by either R2 or MY, please...
