I think these look very interesting and if the functionality is true, they are quite a step above anything in the market. In terms of ugly, I get it, but damn have you boys seen the grill on the newest Chevys?

Those new Silverados are . . . interesting looking for sure.

I kinda like it. 500+ mile range on the tri-motor model....that’ll set you back over $60k but comparably equipped gas burners aren’t gettting any cheaper lol. Combining this with a small wind or solar setup would be sweet.
Not for me. I wonder what the mileage becomes if the truck was used for towing or carrying a load?

I watched the videos and was impressed with the amount of interior room. Electric has instant torque. My guess when hauling things the battery life will decrease drastically. If Tesla isn't bankrupt by the time it comes out. I would consider one I think its kinda cool. I mean paint it green and you almost got a warthog.

Quite honestly, if it didn't look like total ASS I could be interested. I'd have to do a fuel cost comparison, but I'd be interested if they could extend the range at the lower price point.

The Rivian looks damn nice but I don't care that they call it a truck, it ain't no truck. The bed won't hold much more than an ice chest. The SUV has definite potential.

Here, but occasionally There.
I don't foresee many farmers and ranchers lining up to buy one of those.

I also don't see RV'ers lining up either.

I think it more for the folks that want to buy a "truck" and then go looking for a shed or garage to store it in so it doesn't get damaged by hail.

Short answer is that as far as a "working" truck goes, it will probably fall flat.
