I'll be impressed when they can be recharged as quickly as a fuel tank can be filled.

I imagine when the motorcar started to gain popularity there was more than one stubborn sole who walked in in front one expecting it to stop and was promptly run over. All you guys who are still wearing bellbottoms and mullets need to realize that EV's aren't going away. The more that are produced and sold the greater the technological advancements will be. If for no other reason you'll be forced onto the bandwagon simply because you won't be able to afford the gas prices that escalate due to lower demand as the EV's take over. The writing is on the wall. Safe to assume either you struggle with reading or maybe its the comprehension of said reading? Nobody said anything about what you speak. Generalize much?

They should give it to a truck you can buy, for sure. I don't get this.

We're planning to order one at some point, but I want to wait for them to be out and on the road for a bit before we do. We're not sure if we want the truck or the SUV. EV controversy aside, the camping setup on the truck is pretty sweet. Perfect retirement vehicle for us, and maybe Apple CarPlay will be available by then.
Doug DeMuro's review of the R1T was really interesting.

No doubt about that. One of the reasons we're waiting for them to be on the road for a while before we order one. We can always change our minds.

Bed too short and two too many doors. Grill is hideous. At least you can't see it when driving it. Kill it with fire,

It's not a good looking vehicle. At all. No it is fugly. The grille/front end is especially fugly. And when was the last time we've seen a vehicle with a golf club compartment? A '30s Cadillac? We have a very LONG way to go before EVs are truly viable. We simply don't have the infrastructure to support millions of these being plugged in for a charge while parked in the driveway overnight. Or even thousands of them right now... And there's certainly not enough of our hideous cackling' VP to go around and hold onto the charging cord on every EV out there as if she's busy "refilling" the tank.

The C8 corvette trunk was specifically designed to be able to hold a bag of clubs…it’s not as wierd as it sounds.

Most car magazines these days are 90% advertisements. Either overt ones, or "sponsored" story pieces.
This should come as no surprise as most of the old magazines are just trying to do whatever they can to stay "relevant" and keep the doors open.
Maybe they think jumping on the EV bandwagon will grab some younger readership?

Passed a trailer full of them last night. My first exposure to Rivian. Wasn't impressed enough to google it...

We're only a couple years away from EV being completely forced down our throats with the manufacturers dropping their ICE offerings. I'm calling it. As more of these things are purchased and normies park them in their garages people will finally understand 110v@15a is not sufficient to charge these cars and upgrading electrical in a staggering amount of homes is going to entail replacing everything back to the pole. Unable to go back to the convenience of ICE people will demand the Fed pays for the electrical upgrade and another $x trillion infrastructure bill will need to be passed to get us out of the corner we painted ourselves in.

Wait...so what you are saying is that electricity is NOT free and does not fall from the sky and that distribution of said not-free product costs money? Someone best let the politicians in on this little nuance.
