I am pretty certain to replace my 25 year old Chevy 2500 with an electric truck over the next few years and am not really even considering the Rivian. The small bed is not really appealing at all compared to the F150 and it's not that interesting compared to the Cybertruck.
I'm pretty skeptical that Tesla can pull off the Cybertruck for the prices they initially announced, but if they do, that's going to be a big advantage.
Their SUV does look pretty interesting though. The Model Y is too small for what a lot of families now expect from an SUV and the Model X is very expensive.
- hamburglar 5y agoI’m on the list for a cybertruck and I have basically no confidence that they will come in anywhere near their originally stated prices. I’m a big fan of the audacity of the design (but let’s face it, it looks silly. I just don’t care that it looks silly), and I like that cost savings is a big factor that influenced it, not merely looking silly for its own sake. I plan to wait until it’s actually available and I can see the real price and then decide whether I want it or the F150. The F150 is my safe, perfectly fine backup. The CT is the interesting choice. I’m not even considering the Rivian despite the fact that it looks awesome simply because I think the starting price is nuts.
