    newer folks may not be aware - but - some of us paid for AP2 back around Sep/Oct 2016 as Musk said its ready. AP1 was still better for over 1½ yrs - & only then was it barely on parody. That's just one example of some of the lonnnnnnng delays. Never mind delays with ½ shaft shudder - yellow screen boarders, ghosting wind shields etc. Me thinks ye may be a bit new around here. That's OK. Stick around .... cross fingers .... maybe this will be a first.

    I really want this thing to show up but if it's really out there and pricey, I will not have sufficient ammo to convince the other half it's time to get rid of the perfectly-relieable-utterly-boring-terrible-to-drive-ice-engined Toyota pickup..

    I have faith in the good taste of Franz and Musk.

    Plus will I like the Rivians the front is ugly. I'll take a bit of quality wierdmobile over ugly.

    Elon tweeted November for the revel but he didn’t mentioned which year.

    I think Tesla will attract the Raptor and existing EV crowd while Rivian/Ford will take the more utilitarian crowd. The more the merrier I say.

    Think this still happens in November? What kind of notice has Elon given in the past for these things? I have a hunch that at the end of the reveal he delivers 30 Model Ys :)

    Can’t wait for the reveal or even just a solid reveal date. I put on hold my desire to get a new Raptor. Patiently waiting.

    Raptor is a good looking truck and apparently a fantastic driving truck. Might be a while for the Pickup to become real.

    I put down a deposit on the Rivian as soon as they unveiled it. I’ll sell you my position when I order the Tesla!

    I heard the Raptor would be very expensive to maintain, particularly the shocks. More like racing shocks, and with typical truck use will need to be replaced in 5 years. Though I am not a truck guy, so others would know better than me.

    Think that Rivian just announced that their new SUV will start at $125,000, then go up from their for more features of the larger battery.

    Not sure they will take many buyers from the Tesla Truck (but of course some)

    That was Bollinger not Rivian, but agreed on not being able to pull many sales from Tesla with that sort of value-prop. I'm personally amazed Bollinger is still around but at prices like this for what you get I can't imagine they will be around for all that much longer. 125k for THAT?! Hard pass.

    Bollinger Motors reveals the price of its hand-built EVs—$125,000

    I saw an off-road trailer that had that same pull through camp stove that Rivian is showing. Could make for a really nice base camp.

    Don’t fear, Elon has liked a tweet to why it’s in November of this year
