I'm still somewhat skeptical about the R1T--I'll believe it's not vaporware when production models are actually out, but this is a really interesting concept and (not counting the front end) actually looks pretty decent! Definitely looks better inside than any Tesla...

I'm now imagining Ram slapping a similar powertrain into the DT shell. If the packaging could be figured out, it'd definitely make for an interesting truck!

Yeah, just saw this on tfltruck. Seems to be a well thought out truck. If these electric trucks were coming out sooner I'd be all about them. This is 2021... Tesla Truck is after the crossover Model Y so probably 2021-2022. Its a shame.

There are multiple Rivian threads. Same heads-up by the same member regarding the key chain.

When electric vehicles have similar charging time and range compared to ICE, then I'll be interested.

I pre ordered one. Hoping it goes into production I don’t get burned. We shall see.
