    I dare Rivian to make the R3s affordable. They will sell like hotcakes

      @@ItsAlive111Are we really pretending EVs arent already profitable without sketchy accounting? The amount of labour they require is very little compared to gas cars, and the RND is significantly less than gas cars too, since you can truly reuse the same platform for a wider range of vehicles.

    Will be interested to see if Rivian makes a R2T variant some time in the future as their entry for the North American mid-sided Pickup market. A Competitor to the Ford Ranger as the R1T is to the F150 Lightning.

    They should release the R3 models first, by far the coolest EVs from anyone... I really hope they offer a less expensive option of the R3x, all the cool trim and taller ride height, but with only 2 motors to bring the cost down...

    Prototype is easy, mass production is hard.
    Rivian is almost banckrupt. They need a lot of money to put R2 and R3 in the market at a decent price. I gave them max 10% to succeed this
    Great design though

    For the comments about lack of affordability or the need to sell every car at a profit, please do a little research on economies of scale and Wright’s Law. EV startups have to survive scaling up production while selling an affordable car. Tesla has already achieved it and I think Rivian will as well. Lucid would stand a better chance if they weren’t paying their CEO hundreds of millions of dollars.

    They need to get their most affordable products to market and fast. The only thing slowing down EV adoption at this point is $$$$... With a $50K price tag you've basically priced out anyone making less than six figures... Not cool!

    Many manufacturer's borrowing heavily from the discovery "boxish" design. I have seen Hyundai. KIA do this as well.

    You need a camper feature when in the cold you cannot get the car charged.
