Rivian truck is nice

  Has the benefit of existing, too, which is nice.

  Might want to check recent news. It's questionable if Rivian is going to exist in 12 months.

    >Might want to check recent news I just did: Rivian is going to meet it's target for 25,000 vehicles produced this year, Amazon is continuing to take delivery of its Rivian electric vans, and preholder count continues to grow... The only "negative" is the Mercedes-Benz deal fell apart due to some Biden administration law that passed (dodged that bullet anyway, Mercedes-Benz makes garbage vehicles). >It's questionable if Rivian is going to exist in 12 months. Heard this exact quote about Tesla quarter after quarter 8 or so years ago.

Hyundai Ioniq 5 is pretty nice if you can find one without an insane dealer markup.

  I tested this one and a lot of others, including the Teslas and polestar 2. The Ionic 5 was the one i was most satisfied with, it’s really spacious, has excellent range, vehicle to grid and even camping mode. With the on-screen rear mirror cameras addon, it’s really hard to beat. Unfortunately, i had to cancel my booking after the energy crisis became too severe..

Porsche Taycan has had my attention for a while

  That's in a completely different price category from Model Y.
  - porphyra 4y ago
    The upcoming Macan EV might be a closer match in terms of both pricing (hopefully) and utility/size. Probably still pricier than the Y though.

Some good options in my research: Polestar Ford F150 Lightning and Mustang Mach-E Chevy Bolt (I have a Volt and love that car, still sad it was discontinued) Lucid cars are beautiful and amazing, but at a luxury price point.

    Try harder. I'm pretty positive Henry Ford isn't benefitting from sales of Fords these days.

    Henry Ford died 75 years ago? Also, for what it's worth, modern-day Ford seems very much like the model of a diverse workforce.
