My parents have been working with their Toyota dealership for 4 months trying to get a RAV4 to replace their prius with 200k miles on it. There's still no estimate on when the dealer will have any on the lot. Every single one is sold as soon as it gets there and they're stuck on a long waiting list.
starting price will be approaching 45k in 2027. we are talking fully loaded launch edition for under 60,000. autonomy, tow package. it's a great value.
JMO, I believe that Rivian has shown enough promise, and has actually produced a profit, that it would be able to raise additional cash if needed. Or at worst sale a part of themselves to another company. A friend believes Apple would be a heavy suitor for Rivian if that was what was required. Apple is feeling the Chinese heat as well.
Perhaps, just not sure their cumulative cash burn of $24 Billion thus far is sustainable if R2 isn't absolutely perfectly rolled out, received, and bugproofed...
Still not buying it. I haven't seen one EV pickup that sold for a price even close to the one quote prior to launch. $60k for a mid tier model is more likely
I appreciate that the Admin wants us to look at other EVs but
Your post doesn’t make sense
