Because 1: while I love a big mean V8 like anyone else I cannot WAIT for electric to become the standard and 2: T hese guys are a stone’s throw away from me, but I really hope these guys are as valid as they look and become successful like Tesla *sorta* is. What they’re putting down sure looks impressive and I’m digging their designs.

Yeah. I actually know a couple people over there. And I LOVE what they’re doing.

High hopes and low expectations are the name of the game. I dig the design but until these get driven onto a lot somewhere I’m not holding my breath.

I have no idea what that is, but if it’s an electric pickup, I’ll take three.

Direct sales from what I understand. No lots involved.

Rivian. The model is the R1T. They’re promising 400 miles in range, and specs are saying about 800hp output. Based in Plymouth, MI and they’ve purchased Mitsubishi’s former plant in Normal, Ill. to build this and the R1S (7-seater SUV) in.

Not a pickup or SUV guy, but if they make a car that can get 400 miles of range, I would be impressed....range and charging time are the caveats that currently don’t have me sold on electric cars.

potato-tomato, call it customer delivery then. As someone who has been involved with the supply chain for a few of the EV startups I’m a bit cynical about these promises until it’s been delivered.

I am not really a SUV or truck guy (cover your ears little old Ford Ranger I bought for trips to Menards) but the concept and look of both the truck and SUV are pretty cool. I know several guys who love their big trucks, but none of them really love the $70 dollar fill ups every couple of weeks. Plus the company seems to have their shit together, would be great to see them shake things up a little bit.

I like it. I really hope they do well. I'd totally drive one if I could afford it.
