My point is a price war appears to brewing. No, Rivian can't justify its lofty price if Ford, Tesla and perhaps GM start going at it. If history is any guide, just look at the recent price battles between the Y and Mach E. I don't have any hard evidence but I'm guessing most Rivian buyers do not...

Interesting take. Rumor mill has the CT configuration and pricing to be unveiled on Wednesday, hence the Ford move yesterday. I believe Tesla will aggressively price the truck ($60K, $70K & $80K) to eat into the traditional (F, GM, S) market. Rivian can't sit there alone at $90K-$95K. I'm...

"Can't be both best at specs and price." Are you sure? Comparing it to the Silverado and Lightning, I believe it will tow more, haul more and have equal or better range with a smaller kWh pack, thus more efficient, 48 volt architecture and a better charging curve (Lightning is terrible)...

I own a R1T but I understand and recognize better engineering (versus the legacy OEMs). If that subjects me to ridicule...OK, have fun.

I agree on the R1T. Just a special vehicle and my powered tonneau still works. It ain't going nowhere.

Just my opinion but I believe the 4680 battery tech is superior to the Ultium. The Hummer has something like 210 kWh battery to achieve 400mile range and weighs 4.5 tons. The Silverado will be similar. One of the versions of the CT will have similar range with a smaller pack. Speculation to be...

No, no reliable source, just my opinion. Isn't that what we all are expressing? Could be wrong but I doubt it. I've owned a Mach e and currently have a Y and R1T along with Tesla Powerwalls, Solar and Starlink. All work wonderfully. What I can say without doubt is Tesla produces products that...

We don't know yet but is it logical to believe Tesla will provide less capability than the Lightning or Silverado? As for price I'm betting it will be less than the other two for similar specs. Range?...the CT will give you more range with a smaller battery leading to a lower cost.

I think Tesla knows how to price vehicles. Look what they did with the Y pricing versus the Mach E.

This vehicle is engineered not designed. Form follows function. it will be the most capable electric truck on the market. Specs-wise and price-wise it will be no contest. Best battery tech, best efficiency, best software, charge at all 22,000 SCs not just 12,000, won't corrode or rust, etc...

Same in NoCal

Glad you feel that way. Wish there were more that don't like Elon/Tesla. SCs are gonna get very crowded.

I for one will use the most convenient charger that delivers a reasonable charging speed. Going out of my way to save a few bucks on the occasional road trip makes no sense to me.

Exactly, the RAN at full build-out will be a drop in the charging network bucket. How many states don't even have one now? Save the money and slow the billion dollar quarterly loses. We need you to stay in business.

VW stated they are staying with CCS. For how long, who knows.

Spot on!

Yes indeed you are!

Monopoly?? This makes no sense whatsoever. There are many third party charging companies. You don't have to use a SC if you choose not to. VW has stated they are not going NACS. So you can use EA whenever desired.

I don't think there is the infrastructure at Furnace Creek to run a DCFC. For Nevada residents, the adapter would allow us to charge at the SCs in Beatty and therefore cover most of the park.

Exactly. I'm puzzled how someone can spend $90K on a vehicle and be concerned about paying more for charging when it only occurs on during road trips. Your time and convenience far out weighs the cost.
