At $73,000 starting price no thanks.

I have serious doubts about the many EV startups with zero vehicle manufacturing history. Ford has invested $500M in Rivian, so they must see something useful in it, like battery design and manufacturing. Of the non-auto companies trying to build EVs, I like the design of the Canoo pickup. It reminds me of early VW pickups.

Yikes! That is one ugly MF!

Not for me, but I'm all in on EV and research. Science is our friend.

In my mind, it’s this awesome ride, with 60 years of improvements.

Wall wart ? Is an additional 500 and needs

• Maximum Current
  48 A
• Charging Speed
  11.5 kW @ 240V, 48 A
• Wall Charger delivers up to 11.5 kW, or up to 25 miles of range every hour.
  
  That’s some serious power draw!

Rivian's current production is only a few vehicles a day. They have a very long way to go but amazon own's 20% so they will succeed long term with electric delivery vans

There was ther series on motortrend where they went cross country in a couple Rivians. They seemed pretty capable, but at $73k starting - no thanks

I might be in for a Canoo. that looks like a bench seat in the front

Front end of the Rivian is an offence against humanity.

I'd rather have the vee dub.

Agreed, I’ve watched a couple of videos on the Rivian and it’s very innovative and has amazing storage. But, that front end is awful.

84,500 for the way I'd build it. That buys a lot of dampers.
