Actually I didn’t imply any of those things about you. This started with you saying the CT would be a good work truck. Then you were asked to provide guidance as to where those official “work truck” specs could be found. You posted a sarcastic link to search results that failed to answer the...

Dual motor versions can be ordered now and should start being delivered this year. Everything to this point has been a Quad with Bosch made motors. Rivian is starting to make their own motors in house.

I’m not “lumping“ you in with anyone :CWL: You didn’t mention specifics (oddly enough). Nor did you even say specifically what it was about the CT that would make it a good work truck (also odd). My comment was that you seem to be under the impression the “demo” trucks have those secret...

You have been commenting on what “work truck” features it has been claimed to have (by Elon). All imaginary at this point. And there are no dimensions of it yet. That’s what much of the discussion has been about today.

Except you are commenting on purely imaginary features mentioned by a pathological liar. So including it in any comparison is premature to say the least. The CT could eventually have versions that are good work trucks, but for that matter Rivian could make a future version that does the same thing.

It’s not a “gotcha” point. Those are his words and he’s said it more than once. I can respect what he did to advance EVs and also think he’s a f*cking tool. If the R1T isn’t the truck that does what you need I hope one of the others is.

Launch Editions are basically Adventure models with a few cosmetic extras. They don’t come with options like the extra underbody shield or things like that. Yes, every Rivian comes with driver +

It is being built. The videos you have seen the last couple days are trucks from the new production line. The Rivian was never marketed as a work truck. It was marketed as an “adventure vehicle”. I wouldn’t put much trust in any previous promises Musk has made about what the CT has or can do...

Not a single result is from Tesla :CWL:

Oh most definitely not. But most automakers‘ CEOs aren’t out there saying things like this:

I think you are exactly right. One that has been on my mind lately is the Wild West situation with charging networks. I could see a situation where the cost of charging anywhere but home gets out of control quickly.

This was my first car. A 1970 Ford Galaxie 500 that I bought from our elderly neighbor for $500 after working every day after school and during the summer. It was the size of a battleship and used leaded gasoline but I could fit at least 6 people in there. Even though it was 1991 when it became...

I had heard of the chicken tax before but I had no idea of the whole story there. And it deprived us of these!

Look for this once I get my truck:

Oh Yeah!

The author seems to be a little obsessed with the point that EV adoption is being pushed by government In the form of incentives and subsidies. Nearly every form of energy, transportation we have used over the last 200 years has benefited from government interventions In some form. The oil...

Are you SURE there is a house on that lot? 🤔

I think this is accurate. Given all the claims Musk has made about this truck and it’s capabilities, do we really expect it to come in under the X? I would be very surprised.

Good luck with that :CWL:

Musk says in that tweet (from 2020) that he expects it to be ”closer to 82 inches” body width. I take that to mean without mirrors.
