[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wanted 3 rows so I preordered a Rivian R1S[/quote]

Doesn’t the model X have 3 rows? [/quote]

DP and yes, it does.  We’ve had our three row Model X for almost six years.[/quote]

Cost is insane though. And 3rd row is miniscule.[/quote]

Your point?  Is the Rivian any cheaper?  Moreover, is it actually available?

Get a minivan if you need three huge rows.  That’s not what the Tesla X offers, but we find it very usable.[/quote]

Tesla X is $30K - $60K more expensive than the R1S. I would consider that a significant price difference. And for now, Rivian still has a tax credit. If you ordered the X today, you'd have to go the Plaid to get it anytime soon (Aug-Oct 2022), otherwise the dual motor version (still $106K+) is first half of 2023 which isn't that different from Rivian.

My point about the X third row still stands - it is usable in a pinch, but that's about it.[/quote]

IIRC, the 3rd row in the Tesla X costs extra ($6500). So you are looking at a starting price of $112K for an X with a 3rd row. And even then, delivery date is spring 2023.

Tesla X is a massive money suck, IMHO. [/quote]

Agree - I would never spend that much on a Tesla. Anything more than $70K and I'm going to an actual luxury brand.[/quote]

You're SOL though if you want a decent SUV EV. Not much on the market yet.

Certainly none with the range, charging network, and features of Teslas.

You can't even get a Tesla X delivered until spring of 2023. So it's not like you're even getting much of a time advantage with Tesla.

The fact of the matter is that there are barely any 3 row all-electric models available right now. There's literally only 2 or 3 in production at this moment in time.

If you absolutely require a 3 row all-electric, my advice is to wait a few years. There's plenty of two-row models available, if you are willing to compromise. Or look at 3 row PHEVs, which has more options. [/quote]
