I watched a video review of it earlier today and it seems like an awesome truck (if it holds up long term). But the front is so hideous. It seems like they were so thoughtful with the rest of the design, but turned the front over to Little Tikes. I can’t believe that’s what they went with. Also, the price is way higher than I was thinking for a truck.
But I’m really excited about electric trucks. I often need a truck but not every day, but the thought of having a daily driver that uses so much gas keeps me from buying one.
- yurishimo 5y agoThe price is on par with current truck prices in the category. If you haven't been paying attention, it could be easy to miss the massive markup in truck pricing over the past decade. Some of the base models are still reasonable, but there are normal people buying 60-70k "work trucks" all day now. These things will sell like crazy.
- r00fus 5y agoI saw one on the road last week at night and it looked distinctive and very appealing actually. I kind of hope that Rivian is a success that pulls Tesla back from trying to make spaceship aesthetic vehicles and put some manual affordances back in. My only gripe is the 8000lb+ curb weight. That's not going to be friendly to roads, but better an electric than a gas SUV I suppose.
