I'm not saying there isn't a market for electric trucks, I'm just saying that few people are in the market for an electric pickup truck in the $100k+ price range for off-roading.
Judging by the specs on these things, I'd honestly be surprised if they could produce these for less than $125k.
- yellowapple 8y agoApparently the target starting price (for baseline) is at the mid-80k range for the large battery model and closer to 60k for the medium and small battery models: https://www.motortrend.com/news/2020-rivian-r1t-ev-first-look-electric-pickup-truck/ https://www.motortrend.com/news/2020-rivian-r1t-ev-first-loo... That might very well be ambitious, though, and even if they do meet those targets, that's still considerably more expensive than a Tacoma.
- cptskippy 8y agoI would really be surprised if they could meet that price point without making serious compromises in other areas. The battery pack cost alone is going to be a large percentage of total cost.
