The question is whether the BMW $60k price point is sufficiently equipped. When I see $60k BMW, I assume it will need another $10k in options to be properly equipped. Hope I am wrong. Of course, none of this takes into account dealership nonsense.

You mean like subsidizing oil to no end? Made my point, back to BMW.

Again, there was no direct federal mandate to force anyone to buy an EV.

At the federal level there has never been a mandate.

Tesla sells used model Y AWD in the high 20s with one year 10k miles warranty. At most you will lose $5k over next year. Downside is battery degradation

Used model Y or RAV4 are probably the safest bets. To own a year or less, I would go for what will cost the least in depreciation.

Buy a used whatever that's not too old (no maintenance) and will hold it's value til your number shows up late this year or early next. Rivian owners get first dibs and I expect that first R2 will be available in June, so your number is most likely 9-12 months out. At least that's my guess.

Thread drifted quite a bit! :)

That's wildly optimistic to say the least. Uber/Lyft revenue is worldwide so it'll be a while before driverless taxis are available everywhere. It's even more optimistic to think that anyone company will take 100% of that market. Finally, Tesla is far from being the only one in that space. The...

So far, seems to me that Waymo is simply replacing Uber drivers, not car ownership. There are about 10M Uber/Lyft drivers worldwide. Doesn't seem like a very big TAM to me.

And just like that the CT is $70k...

I think that Robotaxi, should it actually work, is simply going after the Uber market, which is way smaller than the personal vehicle market. It seems like a major strategic blunder.

Yup. This bet that Robotaxi gonna replace personal car ownership seems like a long shot to me.

Great value, but polarizing looks and a political statement/symbol.

Looks like they were close to a charger. Snow plus cold plus a 7000' climb requires some extra juice. Mind you, it dumped pretty hard today. Of course, the comments don't disappoint: usual dumbasses.

400 miles range. Our R1S is rated at 380 miles with the Goodyear AS tires. It's nice. Maybe if R2S comes with a max pack.

The EV incentive scheme for CA is the brainchild of a Californian GOP operative who loves EVs. Limiting the incentive to first time EV buyers is smart. While CA fiscal house is a mess for many reasons, this is one smart investment. Long time CA resident with no desire of ever leaving the...

So 25 to 30k R2S in 2026?

R1S lease goes through 2028 so I have time to see this play out. Would really like a max pack version with high 300 range. Otherwise, seems like a really solid package.

Lidar will be on all versions. It will be an extra of $200-300 to Rivian and will allow a greater take rate of their autonomy platform.
