Rivian also has an agreement for the charging network. I believe Volvo may as well. Seems like they’re opening it up to everyone.

We have owned two. There are better EVs out there. Once Tesla opens their charging network there is zero reason to own one.

Subaru just inked an agreement to use Tesla's charging network. This likely portends Toyota using Tesla's network too, since Toyota owns 20% of Subaru and the two brands are sharing battery and hybrid technology.

What’s your evidence that everyone that wanted one has one? They still have a huge wait list on the R1S. I want one, but I’ve already got an SUB that’s fine. But when I’m in the market in a couple years I’ll be looking at one.

I've seen a couple and was put off at first but I like that they pushed design limits. Cars are boring and this kind of shake up is helpful, embrace it! I hope Elon takes a long walk on a short pier but I won't hold him against this vehicle.

This is quite simply a cuck truck - a truck for the cucks.

I saw it in person at Montgomery mall and it’s so ugly I couldn’t stop staring. Would hate seeing this on the road.

Goes directly into the "What was he thinking?!?" pile, along with the X symbol, some of his kids' names, and very dubious embrace of extreme right or conspiracy theories.

I agree that Rivian is so much nicer!

+1. The best thing about Tesla is how they introduced electric cars, and easily available fast charging, to the masses. But the cars are like tin cans - many traditional manufacturers (and some startups - Rivian!) make vastly superior electric vehicles.

I'm trying to think about when I've seen an uglier design but I really can't.

I also think the only people who will buy these are Elon stans. There's nothing about this, uh, truck that would appeal to the pick-up crowd.

rivian will be bankrupt and out of business in the next year and you'll have a useless broken pile of metal
