Rivian is doing some testing in Tesla's back yard. I passed one a few days ago (matte black in dashcam pic) and passed another (green and black patterned) today on the same road.

Thanks...based on photos, I do like the look of both the Rivian SUV and pickup. The SUV is tempting as it is way cheaper than the Model X and about the same size, and IMO, looks better. But doesn't have the Supercharging network unfortunately.

Rivian said the base price for the pickup will start at $70,000 if that is true to expensive for me.
Estimated price is $67,500 for the base model before the $7500 tax credit, so theoretically it'll be around $60k base. I have a reservation and don't plan to get the "fancy" version. If/when I get it, you're welcome to come by and check it out.

Way cheaper? They're close in price.

Maybe I am pricing them out wrong or you don't consider $25k difference to be a big difference in price. I didn't get in on TSLA early like a lot of people here so $25k isn't a meaningless amount. Then when you factor in the federal rebate you are really looking at a $32k difference...am I missing something?

The difference is even bigger when I price in the 6 seater vs 7 seater Model X...the bucket seats is what we prefer. However, since the R1S doesn't have that option i am only comparing the 7 seater models.

Thanks Mark, let me know do you have an expected delivery date.

Does it compare more to the Model X or Model Y? I was assuming the Y and the price would be close in that case. In fact, the Y compares favorably.
