This guy's a fucking airhead. They're trying to rush out the cheaper smaller SUV model because they massively overestimated demand for their overpriced truck/SUV. It's 80k base and by the time you get the AWD and increased range package I imagine everyone who is their target market wants it well over $110k.
This will probably be the last big EV startup we see. After this the real caranufacters are going to take over. Which I'm a bit sad about as they don't seem to ever take any risks. I'd been saying for years there was surely demand for a small truck like the maverick, now everyone's making one. Just wish Elon wasn't so dumb and had made the cyber truck that with a electric drivetrain.
I'll consider buying an electric vehicle when they are no longer irreparable, unmaintainable, privacy blackholed, iPhones on wheels.
I agree. In Europe some not mega big electric cars are already on par with their gasoline equivalent
Maybe some people want to tow.
I'm in the market for a new car and it sure as shit isn't gonna a be electric. Maybe that's because I don't have $80k to drop on a new car. Maybe it's because I have zero interest in dealing with range issues. Maybe it's because every EV is a goddamn touchscreen on wheels.
I'm not currently in the market for a truck and I don't know much about Rivian. Now I know for sure, based on this alone, I will never buy a Rivian vehicle. I used to consider buying a Tesla as well, but won't for similar reasons.
