I think Ford will put one out next year. They’ve been working on the drive train and I highly doubt they would make their truck look like a cyber truck.

Ford is already working on a Ford F-150 that will be electric. They’ve even tested it’s drive train publicly. But of course they used a regular F-150 shell so we don’t know what it will look like.

Works perfectly for me, I refuse to buy new cars already based on price alone. I’ll get an EV as soon as the options I want are available and used. And I believe they will be in ten years, as more attractive EV sports cars get put out.

Makes sense, especially if two different people wrote those articles.

“having issues <1% of the population will care about.”

Huh, how is there commute not also uphill both way in 0 degree weather?

My new issue is I know exactly what kind of car I want, and it’s not electric. Right now I want to keep driving an 86 and would buy one used. Instead I’ll drive what I have until I either have kids or it gives out on me. Then I’ll look into the price of converting it into an EV. If I do have kids, I want a better…

Don’t get me wrong, I love everything else about their design, it’s just the eyes that are putting me off. I thought it was just LEDs but I’m not sure.

That’s a good point. The F-150s should be built on a different but much cheaper drive train as well. Hopefully starting at $35,000 or $40,000. While the Rivian should have a better drive train reserved for luxury vehicles.

With a ton of orders from Amazon and Ford, I’m assuming the worst case scenario is that they end up building EVs for companies who either aren’t car companies or that have not invested properly in EVs (Toyota, Honda, Subaru, etc.)

Introducing, the Rivian R1W. Same drive train, same interior, but it’s a wagon!

Because GM got too greedy. They should have been fine that Rivian would work with other manufacturers, seeing that 99.9% of people would have no idea who built the drive train for the truck they’re driving. The GM loyal wouldn’t suddenly buy a Ford truck with the same drive train.

The Rivian design is great, other than those eyes on the front. I could still buy their vehicle but I’d prefer if they changed the front. I wouldn’t buy a cybertruck with your money, though.

Thank God a Tesla owner said it. I’ve seen people say “well trucks sit to high to access the side anyway!” They have steps that let you get up to the bed, which may be more useless than lowering the dang truck but also 100 times better than having no option at all.

Yeah that is literally just a reason why we should invest even more in renewables. 

Yeah I agree, I hope they leave it similar for the next generation. 

Yup, last meet I went to those idiots were encouraging me to speed off or burnout or drift on my way out. I just tuned the idiots out and left doing the speed limit. Obviously, not everyone else ignored them and some sped or drifted into traffic. 

Hell, I’ve had people who know nothing about cars assume the same about my 86, which is obviously cheap as hell. Meanwhile, their car note is almost twice as much as mine for their fortress on wheels called SUVs. 

Exactly. Everyone is pointing out muscle cars because they’re the usual offenders but even among 86 drivers it’s usually the younger ones that do dumb crap that endangers others. 

Rev your engine or play your music too loud then. Once you cross into rule breaking territory that threatens the lives of others, you are a cancer and should be banned from the event. A ton of people can’t control burnouts or their car when speeding or drifting, which could lead to injury or death of bystanders.…
