My wife says that's a lot!

My wife says that's a lot!

She told me “4 inches more than yesterday…. “.

Seeing it next to that Atlas it doesn't really look all that big compared to a normal (lame) pickup truck.

My very first thought.

I know the dimensions we have been told make it longer than a Ford F150, but it does not look bigger than the Atlas.

Who did that where?

Tesla brags about this truck being baja ready, but all we see is it driving around city streets. Meanwhile rivian drove their trucks from from the tip of south America in the Long Way Up. Not saying CT can't be capable off-road, but I wish they'd show that off more.

I would love to know everything sooner, but we are gradually getting closer to it.

Now, back to watching grass grow. !!!!

I'm sure they've been driven in the desert and deepest darkest jungles, there just isn't a few million people hanging out in those locations with drones.

Even in the deepest darkest jungles there will be at least a potato cam.

Not really. There are millions of people in the Bay Area and they've been cruising the truck around Palo Alto for weeks but we only get a few videos from people that a) are there, b)care, c)get their phone out in time and d) share it with the internet. Send a truck to a remote location and the chances of us seeing something drop exponentially. We know that Tesla sent a bunch of trucks to Alaska this winter for cold testing, but no one saw anything.

Rivian had a lot more to prove. They had an IPO coming up and literally billions on the line for their early investors. ROI on that trip was off the hook.

Tesla has a million+ reservations and promoting the truck is actually just making trouble for them. In a couple years when reservations start running out… maybe. But by then people will know what it’s about.

You gotta build hype somehow. Tesla is a hype machine. Rivian had to try a lot harder.

Though they did get a ton of ROI, they didn't seem to get quite enough ROE (Return on Experience). Now with all the problems customers are having with hardware, one has to wonder if none of those issues came up during the trip and other demo work they did.

You don't start in the middle of Baja or you end up like the Lordstown guys.

They had a ton of issues on the trip. Almost every journalist who wrote it up talked about various things and passed it off as “These are preproduction vehicles so these issues should be fixed before production”…

Go back and read those trip journals, Rivian bodged those trucks together then put on the serious sham-wow and spit polish every time an issue came up.

As it really should be. That's how you test things and get them right.

They never used the portable CCS chargers - didn't even try them - which sank the company that made them.
