My local SoCal SC has a 3-month wait for service appointments. That’s ludicrous.

The numbers show the reservation conversion rate to be around 3%. In other words 97% of reservation holders neglected to place an order. The barrier to entry is the premium price tag of $80k+. The lack of a qualifying for the $7500 tax credit doesn‘t help sales either. I predict the $61k RWD...

Go to your local Toyota dealer and test drive a brand new 4th generation Tacoma TRD Off Road model. It will soon become apparent as to what I am referring to.

I joined you as well 2-months ago and went back to a Toyota Tacoma. The R1T was just to “car like” for me and I missed the higher seating position of a pickup. The loose sounding front end, never ending vampire drain and 3-month wait for a service appointment were the tipping points. I also...

I fully understand your decision. Todays test drive pretty much sold me on the Cybertruck but I am waiting until the $7500 tax credit applies. It may be 2025 or 2026, but nobody knows except Tesla insiders. I placed my deposit on day 2 of the reveal. November 22, 2019.

Yes, $79,990 AWD invites went out today to early Cybertruck reservation holders. What is surprising is that Tesla didn’t de-content the truck as expected. Same heated and cooled ventilated seats, amazing sound system, tonneau cover included, etc. Tesla does charge extra if you want the monster...

I left a deposit for a 2025 R1T but ended up going another direction. I wrote to them and had my $1k refund in 2 days.

It was a 3-month wait at Costa Mesa to have a front end noise diagnosed at their SC. Ridiculous!!! I can't imagine the SC wait in 2026 when R2's start to be delivered in volume. 4-6 months?

Sorry, but nobody aspires to own a Lucid. Nobody. The cars are not selling and resale values are in the toilet. When their Saudi sugar daddy turns off the money faucet it's game over for Lucid and Rawlinson will walk away a very wealthy man.

I like the R1T and Cybertruck but I am really intrigued by the Canoo pickup. It's a 21st century version of a 1960's VW air cooled pickup truck.

Rivian should have used the refresh to update the headlight styling. Unless you're a huge Rivian fan you can't tell a Gen 1 from a Gen 2 from the outside. A huge miss in my opinion.

BEV depreciation was one of the many reasons I decided to sell my ‘22 R1T and get back into a Toyota pickup. I decided to sell my R1T now before resale values drop into the $45k - $50k range in the next 6 months. I enjoyed my R1T but much I am much happier behind the wheel of a Tacoma pickup...

I don’t see a money factor listed in your numbers. Money factor x 2400 = APR For example, if your money factor is .0025 you’re paying a 6 percent interest rate.

I’m loving the 20” wheels that are new for 2025.

You can actually see slight waves in the aluminum door skins if you look carefully down the side. The only steel panel is the bed side stamping. All other panels are thin aluminum to save weight.

Very sad to hear that Rivian QC hasn’t improved. You would think that a Gen 2 build would be bank vault tight.

Sounds like a QC with their supplier. I'm reading a lot of AC failures with the new Gen 2 heat pump.

The 22" wheels look great! It appears that vampire drain has finally been solved on the R1. It's been an issue on my R1T since new.

Please keep us updated on the root cause. It sounds like a new HV battery pack is coming your way.

It has been over 4.5 years since I placed a deposit on a Tesla Cybertruck. I will probably be waiting until 2025 before non Foundation Series trucks start production. Patience grasshopper.
