Ugly is still ugly, regardless of battery tech! I’ve got a CT reservation - mostly because I had too much to drink one night. I never intended to own one, but for $50 it was worth jumping into the craze. My rationale was If they really took off, I get one really early as a current Tesla owner and then flip it for a small profit. I likely won’t do that now, but will get my $50 back and go to Starbucks.Lots of thoughts but they are pretty much the same as yours. I think we are in a typical high tech ramp up. Manufacturers will be leapfrogging one another until such time as all the cars have 800 miles range based on million mile batteries. Obviously Tesla has more resources to throw at battery research than Rivian and a little more time so I think it is reasonable to assume that the CT will be a bit ahead of the game in this department relative to Rivian. When Rivian announced a vehicle with 400 miles range I leapt. But that was a couple of years ago. Four hundred miles is sort of the minimum acceptable at this point. Is this enough for me to cancel my Rivian reservation and wait longer for a CT? No, no, no!
