Even if this does become real, that price is insane. It starts at twice the price of an Escalade or a tri-motor CT. And then you could buy a whole cybertruck in addition to your “base” triton for the price required to get the 700 mile version. Sure, 700 > 500 but you are paying twice the price...
Rivian just announced that their pricing will be lower than prior. $69,000 for a truck with 300 mile range, which drops to $61,500 after the EV tax credit (which Tesla doesn’t get). That makes it more competitive with the dual CT than I originally thought. For an extra $11K you get quad motor...
Looks interesting, but seems like mostly vaporware for now. I can’t find any pricing info on their very poor website. I can find very strange pr descriptions though...
Main problem with Rivian is price. But other than that I really like it.
If the 400mi Rivian was competitive on price per mile range (about $60K) I would strongly consider it over a CT. My main reasons are size (I don’t need a 6.5’ bed) and the quad motor setup (not only for tank turn party...
