    Double Yay!


    Because building it could be as fun as playing with it.

    Rivian Motors is now demoing an electric pickup, and they've released the specs for it as well.

    The design looks super promising, but getting to production will be a challenge. I also think that their estimated price point is super optimisitc.

    That said, the 180 kWh battery pack is almost twice as big as the biggest one currently available on the market.

    If there's nothing wrong with having to show an ID to buy a gun, there's nothing wrong with having to show an ID to vote.

    For legal reasons, that's a joke.

    It can sprint from zero to 60 mph in 3 seconds or to 100 in 7 seconds. The R1T can also tow a whopping 11,000 pounds.
    So it's a sporty 1/2 ton, 11k towing capacity is not competitive with 3/4 Ton or 1 Ton Diesels. I'm sure it will have plenty of interest if they can pull off $68K price tag... I'm sure that's for the base model- curious what the price is for one with a more usable range. But it will not compete in the true work truck market.

    Seems clear to me they're not shooting for the work truck market with this first design.

    This looks more like shots fired at the daily driver F-150 types.

    That's what I took it to be too. Not a bad salvo for an opening volley either based on specs on paper. It will be interesting to see how it comes out of the other end of the tunnel and if people buy it.

    Based on the performance and price point- more closely resembles the Raptor than a standard F150

    Electrek has more pictures of the truck. Notable for the design is a storage compartment behind the passenger area they're calling the Gear Tunnel, which looks like it'd be a good place to discreetly store things that are long and skinny...

    That, combined with the frunk kind of seems like a good idea, in that the design will have more lockable storage space than a normal pickup.

    I like how in the first article that you posted, when talking about the gear tunnel, they said, "...or even golf clubs." instead of up to ten rifles!

    Yeah, golf clubs. Sure.

    That's the ticket.
