How don't compete directly?
- __derek__ 4y agoNo overlapping market segments. Rivian makes an SUV, pickup, and delivery van. Tesla makes none of those.
- Octoth0rpe 4y agoIs the tesla model X not an SUV?
- __derek__ 4y agoNo, that's a crossover. Someone in the market for a true SUV would not consider a vehicle like that.[1] [1]: Yes, I recognize that this looks like a No True Scotsman assertion, but there are real differences here.
- Octoth0rpe 4y agoWikipedia lists both the model X and Y as "crossover SUVs", though to my sedan-buying eyes the X looks like a standard SUV and the Y doesn't. Not sure what to say. Wikipedia says SUV, my eyes say SUV.
- __derek__ 4y agoThe need for the "crossover" qualifier says it all, IMO. It's a slightly taller station wagon, not something I'm going to take 10 miles down pock-marked forest roads.
