Really hope they let him do a range and charge test. But I doubt it.

They are somewhere in and around San Antonio...Hill Country area....cuz he just used the fast charger I've been using last night.

Edit: Yup, they are up in Comfort, Texas.

TFL does as well

Damn it looks ugly doesn’t it?? When I first started looking at Rivians I thought the Rivians were weird looking. Now I think every other truck in existence looks weird.

But this one somehow more so

Just looks like an F-150 with different DRLs and different wheels to me - which I'm sure was the point.

I think it looks great. Will be interesting to see how he thinks it compares to the R1T. I think both are priced right for what they offer, but a direct comparison from somebody who has experience reviewing both will be interesting.

Yeah, I don't know what it is, but it does look off. I think the proportions are off. The truck bed seems thin while the front end looks very chunky.

That look is all the rage! Fat head with a tiny butt...

I'll be honest, I'm not expecting an impartial comparison from TFL given how "soured their grapes" were not getting the Rivian before other outlets. Now they have an F-150 right out the gate, so the gripes they eagerly highlighted with the rivian both before and during their hands-on, will likely be side stepped in favour of a more positive take on the F-150.

the F150 lightning press drives are happening in San Antonio. “Everyone” is there.

It’s the grill area….looks cheap.

I really don't care about their opinion, I'm more interested in any data they can gather for example charging curve and tow range testing. I've had an F-150 before, so I know what to expect, just this time its electric.

I like it the other way

The look is ok, very traditional. For platinum, I really didn't like plasticy look of the front. But that's partly because of they wanted to make the front lighter. The way frunk open is way more useful IMO!
