Last point - I think there is no way that Rivian can match FSD and not charge for it. Ridiculous perspective. If they can buy it from someone, do you really think that cost won't be passed on to the consumer. If they have to develop it, I don't think a meager investment where they are not...
Like many, my first reaction to the flat sided thing (what is that? Cardboard? Perhaps that will drop away to reveal the truck? Then it stopped and people started climbing out of it. Whoa! OK Elon, hahaha, very funny, now show us the real truck. But... the things I had no clue about - $40k...
I'm pretty fed up with some of the crap from GM & Ford.
I bought a used GMC Sierra (lemon law due to recall, then fixed & resold) for about 2/3 of the going price of around $12K for a 8 yr old truck with around 100k on the odometer. What mostly infuriated my with the Sierra is the '98 was the...
Outstanding work.
However, although I realize it is done for dramatic effect, it looks like the vehicle takes around 14 seconds to accelerate from 0 with spinning wheels (much worse acceleration, hah!) until it reaches 88 mph and time travels.
I looked up various vehicles that do 0-60 in 6.5...
I watched the reveal again and Elon said 100 cuft of storage in the rear.
Then I noticed on screen it said Exterior Lockable Storage,, which I interpret to include the Vault, any storage in the "sails" which is outside the vault and probably lockable and also might include the under vault bed...
Hmmm. When I multiply 78x57 and divide by 144 I get 30.875 sqft.
Multiplying 6.5 x 5 I get 32.5 sq ft.
But not to get hung up in the weeds...
I was trying to see how much room I have to get my motorcycle inside the locked vault.
Keeping it upright will definitely be outside the vault...
I have been trying to figure out the bed dimensions (very roughly).
I took the online photo of the rear view of the open vault and measured in Visio. Then determined a multiplier (13.1) to make the width 57 inches (as noted above. BTW, what was the source for 57 inch bed width).
Then measured...
