Electrek’s Take
It is a good adjustment from Rivian.
The variations that they’re unveiling at present are akin to the mid-range model of the Tesla Cybertruck.
It’s nearer in worth than beforehand anticipated (~$80,000), however it’s stil about $10,000 dearer after the federal tax credit score.
Nonetheless, we nonetheless don’t know all the main points concerning the Tesla Cybertruck nor the Rivian for that matter since they’re claiming “over 300 miles of vary”.
I anticipate that the 2 automobiles will find yourself extra aggressive after every part is on the desk.
However even when there’s nonetheless a worth completely different between the closest variations of the Cybertruck and R1T spec-wise, I believe that there’ll nonetheless be house for each electrical vans available on the market as a result of they’re so completely different.
