While on vacation......

We saw 2 Rivians and a Tesla cyber truck on flatbed. Not sure if they broke down or just ran out of juice ? Not very encouraging either way. We were in Maine.

They may work for urbanites but not so much for rural folks.

My sentiments exactly! I have said all along that IF an EV is built that meets my all around needs, I will start looking at buying one, but I seriously doubt that is going to happen in my lifetime.

Very scientific assessment, you must be an engineer or something

It’s literally what he saw with his own eyes, you want to discount that because you own one?

And it means what? The assumption is that they’re broken or ran out of charge when it’s just as or more likely that they’re on a flatbed for delivery.

Hold up. A guy on the internet sees something, makes an assumption about alleged sighting. You then defend his story because it fits your narrative.

You can’t have tribalism without the absence of critical thinking.

The worst part is OPs broad accusations about rural peoples intelligence. So backward they can’t understand technology? That parts ok though.

I saw a semi-trailer full of ICE cars, they probably ran out of gas or broke down, not very encouraging either way.

Most people can tell the difference between a pre- delivery truck and a used one.

Tribalism? You are circling the wagons awful fast there… he saw trucks on a rollback, any honest person can tell the difference beta slicked up pre delivery truck and one that’s been used, it’s blatantly obvious. I could care less either way, I’m actually a fan of the rivian.

Man, it's too spicy in the EV forums. I'm going back to slower people with slower ICE vehicles.

You guys holla when you can get 400 miles or so out of one of those plug in dealios and I might get interested.

*honest person.

No proof but you believe it. That’s the thing about facts, and science, doesn’t care what you believe, or about anecdotal “evidence”.

Quick to jump on? That’s rich. Hardy har EVs are dumb, let me like that post. Twice.

And when towing a trailer.....
Lucid is a car, not interested.

About half the range, like any other truck. Charge times and locations are the killer. I’d pick towing with my Rivian over my 3500 diesel every time if the charge times were better, it’s that much better. The Ram is far more convenient though with quick fuel stops.
