This is why I would not be one of the early adopters of any of these "new Tesla killers". I am very interested in Lucid and Rivian, but I believe there are a lot of challenges ahead for them, and I hope they are not met with as much skepticism, doom and gloom as Tesla was (and sometimes still is). I look forward to when there are plenty of options to choose from, and like
@PhillyGal said, this "competition is coming" has recirculated more times than I can count. I agree
@boingolover that the landscape is different, but I also agree that they are finally catching up with the original Model S (other than the range).
