I've been enjoying watching Long Way Up on Apple TV +, the 2 Rivian prototypes have been pretty reliable, though that show focuses more on Ewan and his buddy on the prototype Harleys, which have been also surprisingly reliable on that show.

I guess you're right, for the market that buys F-150 Platinums and commutes to work +/- heading up to the mountains for Instagramming now and then. But that's but a small subset of the F-150 market as a whole.

I don’t think they are shooting for the entire market right now. |

But that's the market Rivian is looking at. They don't want the 400K low-margin fleet truck sales Ford does. At least...not during their production ramp-up.

I really think they should have started with the SUV. I'm much more interested in an all electric SUV/minivan. Of course, the downside is that buyers like me are a lot more price sensitive than truck buyers. |

Obviously I haven’t looked into it a ton but isn’t the Rivian a quad motor truck? More teh motors=more teh better? And it doesn’t look stupid.

I’m a Rivian fan over the cybertruck based on what I see so far. However I think a EV F150 is going to be the longer term winner of all of this.

Hell they sell enough high priced ones in Texas alone to name a trim level based on it. I don't think the Cybertruck will come in at the stated price, and at the lower priced ones, it doesn't really compete in terms of features (ie, not really in the same market segment), once specced out to be more apples to apples, the price will likely be very similar. |

Yes, one motor per wheel (inboard, not hub motors as that's not a good idea wrt bearing life, lack of gear reduction). https://www.caranddriver.com/rivian/r1t Cybertruck is one motor at rear axle; one motor at each axle; or one motor at front, one motor per rear wheel depending on trim. Like the Model S. |

I should revisit this thread of mine https://forums.nasioc.com/forums/sho....php?t=2895406 Quote:
With actual factories and a history of making many vehicles +/- quality issues, they have much more of a chance than does Rivian, Workhorse, Fisker (cue groans), etc. |

Hyundai Palisade SEL or Kia Telluride EX.
I am most likely replacing my 8 year old MDX with a Palisade Limited. I was anxiously awaiting the 2022 MDX reveal yesterday. Rumors were that even base models were going to come well equipped (heated/ventilated/massaging seats, etc). Nope. Still need the Advance model to get all that stuff. $60k+. Palisade Limited is $49k. That's most likely the route I am going. Edit: Damnit, didn't see the Telluride on your list (it wouldn't be too expensive - but if it's too big, then that's that). Honda Passport? |

You caught my ninja edit.
I have done nothing but oil changes on the 13 MDX. Granted, it only just hit 54,000 miles. But I was in an accident when it only had 1500 miles on it ($25k in repairs - wished it was totaled) but I have had ZERO issues with it. Which is why the 2022 was on my short list. I really want the Advance or A Spec, but do not want to spend $60k on a car. Yea, I checked and the Mazda is a turbo 4, so I replaced my suggestion with the Honda Passport. Smaller than Telluride, 6 banger, Honda reliability, can probably get well equipped under $40. |

I would add Toyota Highlander. My wife has one and I really like it. I might get one for myself when I get rid of my 3 series wagon (that or a 4Runner). The XLE comes in at your price cutoff. It’s very reliable. It’s also a few inches smaller in each direction compared to the Telluride, which you mentioned might be too large.
