I actually appreciated the article as a Bloomberg subscriber and trader. The part comparing the base price of the F-150 to the Rivian was definitely disingenuous as mentioned above. As for the rest of the article, I feel she is writing to the average Bloomberg news subscriber. What they really care about is how this company is going to justify being valued at $80B when it IPO's. if you want to build an $80B company you need to convince work truck people to buy your product or you aren't going to move the needle. So more than anything I took this as here is why you aren't quite there when it comes to beating the dominant truck makers. I think the R1T is perfect for the adventure seeker/lifestyle/off-road/sport truck buyer. I'm super excited about getting mine, but I'm not a truck guy for sure. I drive a Tacoma aka a Tiny Truck!
