That’s another great point. Unlike some other trucks, it won’t even be street legal in a lot of other countries, and it’s one pedestrian safety legislation away from needing major reworking.
Rivian is expanding into Europe including its commercial van, which is a product that Tesla should have made given that EVs are perfectly suited to delivery vehicles.
Tesla should be coming out with a three row family vehicle similar to the EV9 or ID Buzz but they wasted resources on a niche $100k truck that will inevitably (in the long term) be snuffed out by Ford, GM, and RAM pushing the kind of volume that they do with trucks.
- zassy 2y agoTesla’s been selling electric three row family vehicles for almost a decade now lol.
- dangus 2y agoThe Model X isn’t price competitive with the EV9 and the doors are maintenance liabilities. Its third row is too small. It’s a two row-size SUV where they stuffed in a tiny third row, it isn’t a serious alternative to a car like the Hyundai Palisade. It seems to be their least popular model.
- basementcat 2y agoFortunately if legislators and regulators are appropriately financially or politically incentivized, such safety legislation may not be something shareholders need to be concerned about.
