Seems like Ars Technica released an article too early and I happened to grab some of it through my RSS feed reader...

...here is the rest I was able to see...

...and now that we have pricing for the top model/spec, this is all too exciting! Great job Rivian!

If that's legit, that's a great price. I was thinking the Launch Performance R2s we've seen would be around $65k.

 

[VandalSibs]

If this number does hold (and I'm pretty sure that Ars won't have an incorrect price), there's no way the Tri Motor hits $70k - more like $65k I think...

4400 lbs tow rating makes me sad. So much for hoping to drag my camper around locally with it.

Fantastic.

Was that in the Ars article before it got yanked?

While 4,400lbs is not 5,00lbs, it's better than the 3,500lbs you get with the Model Y (most direct comparison)

I have not seen that towing number anywhere.

It was, yeah. Sure, better, but inadequate for any towables I currently own.

Overall, I really like that pricing!

And here is the screenshot of the article that someone saved.

58k isn't a bad price for launch version if that includes everything. I wish it would have had at least 350 miles if not more. But 330 is decent. Will wait to see how much will be real world miles. I'm waiting to see real reviews of actual R2s.

 

[Redline]

Excellent pricing IMO

 

[s0ysauce]

58k for LE (AWD, 330~ range, 600~ HP, tow package) with lifetime Autonomy+ is so tempting.
