      that car is avail now, look at Tesla Inventory site, you can get a model 3 for $36,900 with a 7,500 fed credit. so net under 30k. EZ its a single motor, so correct not so fast, but model 3 is a fun car.

      Many people have already complained over build quality and ride. I do not believe this will improve with Elon in charge.
      Other EVs with great handling are already catching up to Tesla in EV prowess and they already have better driving since they have years in the industry. Specially the luxury brands like Porsche, BMW and Mercedes.
      It will be tough to justify an expensive Tesla over other brands with better quality.

      It sounds like you’re making the argument that the price of a vehicle should be correlated to its mileage. Pretty sure no one buys a Lambo for its mileage, for example…

    Good overview of the R2 news from the last several months! Several years ago I wasn't in a position where I could gamble on a Model S and the company staying solvent, so we waited until the Model 3 was out and the company looked like it would be a going concern. We took a chance with a R1T recently, and I REALLY am hoping that the R2 is their moment similar to Tesla! I am reasonably confident that it will be, as the company seems quite solid, and the R1T is a pretty stunning product - I like it better than my 3 in almost every way - the only real drawback is lack of Supercharger network... but that's changing soon!

      I've got shares in both thankfully (and much later pricing than IPO), but I'm hoping Lucid turns it around quick since I'm down by 50% on that one (eek) - Rivian is currently bailing them out for me.

    We want a Rivian. The $40,000 is almost affordable.

    I really want an SUV, but most SUVs are unnecessarily large for me. Smaller SUVs would definitely be for me.

    Hmmm more demand for the R1S than the R1T. This could be trouble for Tesla and the CT. Just a warning. Hopefully Tesla is prepared to make less than 100,000 CT a year.

    If only auto companies listen to what the public wants instead of telling the public what they should want, then it may bode well with them for sure. But there's one guy that keeps telling people you want the CyberTruck and a semi driver's seating should be in the middle, and you don't need driver facing instrument cluster.

    Frankly, I hope they make the powered hard shell tonneau an option. I prefer soft roll-up tonneau covers like the one I have on my Frontier.

    • @gordonschiff3621
      @gordonschiff3621 11 місяців тому

      Agreed. A powered hard shell will break and cost 💲 10k to replace. This is a common issue with the top on the Mazda max-5 power roof. Super expensive if it breaks.

    • @collinbradford8866

    I'd definitely be interested in an R2T. I'm currently in a Hyundai Santa Cruz so something of similar size, but electric, would be very desirable.
