TSLA - truck review by a couple of olde hands from the midwest familiar with design and manufacturing of trucks. I placed a reservation deposit last night after see numerous reviews of interior features posted on utube but not the one below. I am in the minority where I don't care what others think of the way the exterior of my RV looks like. I am purely focused on utility so I am on the same wavelength as the guys in the link.

TSLA Cybertruck/ RIVN - IMO CT range is a big disappointment relative to original estimates 250-340 miles. I did put in an order soon after reveal and spreadsheet says late next year projected for my delivery. The original projections were 250-500 miles depending on configuration. My neighbor a few doors down put in an order minutes after the initial specs were provided. He wanted 500 miles so he can make it to his winter place without charging stops. I wanted at least 300 miles. This is not going to work. Rivian will be getting a lot of orders and will do well if they do better on manufacturing scaling (all sorts of different size bolts in early lots).
