I’ve been hearing a whole lot about the Rivian pickup, but no one talks about the Discovery-esque SUV

speak for yourself. I believe I’ll be ready to switch over to a BEV next year or so by the time the one I’m interested comes out.

I don’t know why either.
They’re very similar cars and similarly awesome

I think Rivian is the one marketing and pushing the truck more. I agree that, it’s just as cool, and great looking.

I think it looks awesome. If they can actually get it to production, I could see some ritzy Range Rover drivers switching over to it.
Unfortunately it’s still too rich for my blood.

To be fair, if you want a factory-built BEV pickup that you can actually buy, your option is basically finding one of the few Ranger or S-10 EVs from the 90s that didn’t get crushed. If you want something with more than 115 hp, and/or with more than 72 miles range... you’re out of luck until Bollinger, Rivian, or T esla comes out with something.
If you want a factory-built three-row BEV SUV, you can buy one of those today, with considerable power and range.

The best plot twist they could ever do is offer a service where you can drive into the dealership and have the body switched out. Need a 8 seater for a trip? Just stop by the dealership and swap out your pickup boy for one.
With the electric skateboard platform it could be possible

That would be amazing. I wouldn’t hold my breath though...

It’s highly unlikely, but really as long as the electrical is all run through one canbus connection it could be done.

I fucking love it but I’ll never be able to afford one.

Yeah, that would be neat if they pulled that off.
I’d also like to see how they execute it......I really hope its a giant cartoon sized plug lol
