I love my loss leader!
That's why I'm here. If Rivian wants to sell me a max pack R1T at the wrong price I'll take it. I don't see anyone else offering a 400+ mile pickup/large SUV at a price much under $100K for a long time.

Because of batteries I don't think Tesla wants to make many semis or the high range Cybertruck.

Not to be pedantic, but what a terrible quality photo Did they use a phone from 2003 or something? This is like "look honey, it's Bigfoot! Grab our worst camera!" ?

Sooooo many cracked windshields…and they will be $$$$$
It's very raked so impacts more likely to skip off. I doubt their windshields are nearly as fragile as our fuyao wind screens, especially considering they are trying to get them to be "armored".

This has got to be the first vehicle that can bring down all the property values in the neighborhood the day it rolls off the lot and into your driveway.

Maybe they thought it was a UFO?! For those, it’s mandatory that the camera used be ild and out of focus!

It will need to be armored as people will be throwing tomatoes and bricks at it as it passes through town! ?

Yes, that is a requirement for UFO photos as well as ATM security footage.

Sure, until they look at see that there are no door handles. Then they will wonder WTF they are seeing.

But any projectile with the force of a handgun round or less just adds patina. Although the police in the south did have to ask residents to stop shooting rifles at the Chinese balloon, so there is some potential risk.

The R1T is percieved as less threatening, of course, because of its effect of lowering occupants testosterone levels.
