motortrend is always odd at picking
remember all the rams that kept getting praises right after gov bailed them out,
lighting is ALLLLLLL electric so its the buzz word
even though rivian, and gm both have variations at the ready. rivian actually has trucks on the road, but 98k is steep, where as ford is much less msrp...not what actually sold for..you know
gm has the hummer ev...but unless your over the moon with excess cash its priced out of the field for now, not to mention none are available
gm silverado ev pickup is not on the market yet, despite the cool chevy commercials of them bouncing around to fleetwood mac
its all about convincing the sheep to go ALL EV.
we need choice not mandates
In my opinion I think Rivian is doomed. They had that mercedes thing the other day. And local news was someone messing with them about bed bugs. That's the way it started at mitsubishi. jokes that supposedly got out of hand and next thing you know there were waves of lawsuits for millions of dollars. Plus the amount of people they have working there for the very few cars they are producing is way out of proportion. I know it's early but we made a lot of cars at mitsu with only 1100 or so a shift. Rivian has 6700. They must be elbow to elbow in there. I've seen some of the you tube tours of the plant and it seems to me rivian has went backwards on some of the automation.
we have 1 rivian in our area
i see it about once a week in different areas.
cant miss the headlights.
we have 4 lightnings ...between 2 dealers here, all 4 are sitting on dealer lot marked up to over 100k https://www.briantoliverford.net/ne...91701c19686857b5d1.htm?mycarsr=vdp-recentCars
this one just dropped form 124 to 114k/...... oh the bargain
i tried finding a rivian, and Austin was closest that had one and it was omg over 124k
insane in the brain
which really tweaked me as you can only get one by ordering it from rivian. so this dealer must be doing some down low crap or flat out bull shiiiting
