Completely Serious
My Lightning will be here in a few weeks. I ordered in May of last year, blend date was yesterday. I saw two Rivians last night around town. Lastly a standard rang Lightning is 39k before rebate
Show me where you can make a reservation for a 40k ford and take delivery of it in the next 6 months.
Yes there is a long wait for those trucks but they exist. Ford isn’t taking any new orders for a couple years to fulfill the back log. Rivian is a new manufacturer and going through growing pains like all new manufacturers do. It’s still not a dine deal they will survive but it isn’t for lack of demand.
Could have just said maybe in the future their will be competition. Maybe in the future there will be. Doesn’t exist yet.
Certainly the revian is interesting. But you can’t buy one and even if you could it is 80k. Not exactly competing with Tesla for the mainstream car buyer who wants an EV.
Try to order a Tesla, other than a 3, and tell me the wait times. They also have high demand and component limitations.
About 6 months.
