My business partner has had one of these (for his wife) and one of the R1Ts for himself on order for nearly 2-1/2 years.

R1T for reference:

Looks like an old model Tahoe with a fricked up front end...

Those vertical headlights are hideous. Why design it like that?

Looks great otherwise, but that range is brutal.

They estimate 300+ miles on their site. Not calling the video a liar but wonder what they did differently to achieve that (I'm at work and don't feel like opening YT)

Agree - what range would it need to have for you to consider actually buying one?

I like it.



Needs more range to be a viable option for anything other than a grocery getter.

Tesla needs to let Rivian handle the design and they can handle the battery. Win/Win for everyone and the Cybertruck can go in the garbage, or right up on the fridge next to the other six year old drawings.

Just drove from ohio to Estes Park Co and it took. me a day and a half. It would take about 4 days with that range and stopping to charge it.

Don’t all of these companies grossly overestimate their ranges?

That looks like total range, not electric only.

Nevermind... that's what they are claiming as electric range as well.
