Interesting that they are giving an estimated price from Rivian.

 

[Mr. Ham]

PRICE AS TESTED: $115,900 (mfr est)

Could be worse...

1025 hp will be fun. Somebody’s gonna do something stupid. 7,000lbs into the corners is still a physics problem. But can’t wait to see it.

116K and 274 mile range. Tempting but my G1 looks such a steal in comparison. Except for that color, so good!

 

[Electrified Outdoors]

If that 115k price holds true its a good deal IMO. That's A LOT of performance for the $$$.

 

[R1Tom]

That G2 QM is going to be sweet! Not $65k and my G1 QM sweet...but sweet no less. And actually priced aggressively.

Mind blowing that the center speaker area still has rattles....my very early G1 had it and after uncountable numbers of times of me removing that cover, stuffing things in every possible place....mine is 99% good. But they know of this problem for a long time....and I understand even have a fix.....yet this press unit still has it.

I know the article mentions that they never ran a Model X Plaid but they should really change the title to "Quickest SUV they tested".

The Plaid ran a GPS verified 2.3 seconds to 60

X is a minivan crossover station wagon not a suv

At first glance I read "humus humiliator". PSA: this is what happens when you skip lunch because of work.

Alan Ruck right now…

The most important meal of the day is the one you missed

Sportback! If I cannot go pick up a dishwasher in it, then that's not an SUV.

I am conflicted.

1. 2.6sec. I don't need it. I shouldn't have it. But, I want it.
2. 1,025 HP (see #1 above).
3. Quarter mile in 10.5 sec (see #1 above).
4. Staggered tyres. 275/305! The wheels are so sexy.
5. They said $115k is a steal! The more you read the more you end up agreeing.

I am amazed at how Rivian moves these beasts. It's a big heavy SUV yet, it moves very well. But, it's an SUV. I hope Rivian puts this magic into the RX3 or some hot supercar down the road. Shout out to our test driver Alan Ruck.

274 miles... Rivian you just broke my heart forever. Tri-Motor it is ?
