Just add the 500hp option and you'll be dead before you can worry about it. ;)

which makes it 5' less stupid............

That MEANS "after a year, they will be ready to run full capacity" = THE SECOND YEAR............... like (most) every other factory in the world. You don't just turn on the lights and produce 100,000 vehicles in a year. it's a ramping up THE ENTIRE YEAR so they are ready come year 2 to have a...

Lighter because it's skinnier.................. that's not a positive...........

Regen isn't like mashing the brakes hard. You aren't doing THAT kind of slowing that would transfer weight like that. You don't need to worry about weight in the rear for regen in normal conditions.

No. And not sure why you think it would be that way? What does weight transfer under braking have to do with RWD or other? They ALL do that. So.........

what white tires?

Yes i know that they do weather simulations, but they are that, simulations.

But if options are being weighed, you dont' want to hamstring your choices.

What was the time factor? It's one thing to simutate the miles. A whole nuther thing to simulate 10 years of weather. Obviously they can't do that (yet), but I'd wager by far the most serous problems would be rust and rust related issues rather than mechanical or structural failures.

In the 70's-80's 0-60 in ANYTHiNG UNDER 10 SECONDS was FAST. We LIVED it............people that only know ev's like stupid fast. That's fine. We all gotta die some way.

Highly unlikely they'll produce 50k in the first year. Rivian just built 42,xxx vehicles in this their 5th year. Yes, way more expensive, but you're going to have a long slow build up to full capacity "somewere down the line". not first year.

8 seconds isnt' that slow.

Most "need' for 4wd was about no weight over the rear axle of pickup trucks. Put 150lbs of sand over each wheel well and trucks drive just fine in winter without 4wd. MIllions and millions of them. Including me. And I've owned 5 4wd vehicles. I live in northern Indiana, less than 60 miles...

stop paying attention to advertisements. THey are trying to entice who they think is their market. This is kinda a new thing.

Man! I had a 1970 Cougar when they were still small and sporty. 351cu, fun car.

Don't stop going to classes yet!

Broken rear window is the most common reason to not ride up the bed. Seen more of those than tipping over, but have seen that too.

"Common sense says take a chance on something new" Common Sense????? A new manufacturer? Of trucks? Of ev trucks...........?? You guys are funny.

The bias here for a $50 deposit is kinda staggering but interesting as heck. Just as many of us (I'd bet more) just as leery about a 1st year model from a 1st year manufacturer.
