  1. Lower than previously announced pricing coming according to Reuters (69k for mid range)!

    I'm thinking the most precise information we have is basically that a 135kWh with nice options like the electrochromatic roof, is about $69k - previously I assumed 69k was the base option with 105kWh. So perhaps 135kWh without the fancy roof, etc., would be a few thousand less. This is moving...

  2. R1T $69,000 starting price - opinions

    My dream would be 300 miles of range for 50k (after tax credit is fine).

  3. Tesla Truck Unveiling 11/21

    Yeah I am very much with you on this one.. if I am looking at any vehicle within 10-20k of the Rivian, I would get the Rivian instead, hands down.

  4. R1T offroad footage and info from from South America!

    Yeah I just woke up to the hydraulic details as well.. not sure how that wasn't impressed on me earlier. I agree you don't normally hit bumps at those speeds if you don't have money to throw around.. but I think they are going to knock it out of the park on this one, when you look at the...

  5. Tesla Truck Unveiling 11/21

    I agree it's not really about making sense! but for me I simply might have to wait until I can afford a used one in a few years.. unfortunately :)

  6. Ford Mach E Specs & Pics Leaked

    I feel the same way.. The Rivian is my top pick but it's just outside of my comfortable price range.. so I feel torn. I may stay with normal cars until the used Rivians are affordable or the right EV comes out at the right price.

  7. Tesla Truck Unveiling 11/21

    Yeah I agree - it seems downright dangerous to take a Model X offroad.. but if they can make the Tesla truck safe, with decent off-road performance, I'll get one :) I'm somewhat worried they make it a truck that can tow and has good range, but can't be off-roaded.. and I don't think electrics...

  8. Tesla Truck Unveiling 11/21

    I tend to agree with a lot of what you're saying.. I'm sure the pricing is what is best for the company and probably very smart as a first product.. for me personally, 50k would be a no brainer and probably 60k too. 70k starting, and more like 80k for the mid battery pack is just a little more...

  9. "69k to start" and general pricing speculation

    That's it, I've had enough, I'm leavening this discussion for good!

  10. "69k to start" and general pricing speculation

    I don't know, to me, it feels like we could poke holes in this thread.

  11. Tesla Truck Unveiling 11/21

    I don't trust just anyone with my internet forum badge, but I trust you guys!

  12. Tesla Truck Unveiling 11/21

    Well certainly I don't have access to any information other people don't have, but having worked my entire career in product design and manufacturing in high tech industries, I have a feel for what good teams say and do and what other team say and do, and the Rivian teams are saying the right...

  13. Tesla Truck Unveiling 11/21

    I would guess Rivian will have a significant quality advantage as well, based on all the interviews I have seen. I come from a design and manufacturing background, and everyone I have seen speak from Rivian is saying what great teams say, and I think this will filter down into a great product...

  14. Tesla Truck Unveiling 11/21

    If at the same price point I would undoubtedly get the Rivian. It's a little more than I am comfortable with however, so I will look carefully at what Tesla offers. If I had the money, it would be Rivian hands down :)

  15. EV versus ICE Cost of Ownership calculator

    good lord when you put it like that, I agree it's a foregone conclusion :)

  16. EV versus ICE Cost of Ownership calculator

    quick note - I think it's all about whether the depreciation offsets the operating cost savings. If you think the Rivian will resell go from 80k down to 40k resale over 5 years, it is at 70k cost of ownership over five years - higher than most cars I am considering, by about 10k or 15k. If it...

  17. EV versus ICE Cost of Ownership calculator

    Pulled a couple quick comparisons. There was no data available for the Colorado ZR2 or Bison, which I would have liked to have seen. I pulled the Z71 instead, the most expensive I could find was almost 40k cash price.

  18. EV versus ICE Cost of Ownership calculator

    I agree. The point of the exercise for me, frankly, wasn't to do a fair comparison at a given price point, but an actual comparison for vehicles I was considering.. so I agree, it's entirely pointless to anyone else. I did actually derive some benefit from the comparison however, because I...

  19. Possible Tax Credit Loss

    I believe there is currently a 200,000 vehicle cap on the federal credit before the manufacturer starts to lose the tax break provided to purchaser. My suspicion is that the next-gen Rivian, coming out maybe around the time the R1S/R1T are hitting the 200k mark (or perhaps a little later maybe)...

  20. New Rivian Patent for Autonomous Driving

    I agree, and I'm also for it!
