Karen and I love our Honda Clarity PHEV. We’re virtually certain our next vehicle purchase will be a pure EV, and a pickup would be handiest as a daily driver.
When the Tesla CyberTruck rolled onto the stage at the unveiling, I thought it was a joke. But it was intriguing enough we put down a $100 refundable deposit. But right now, CyberTruck production is not set to even begin until late 2022, and we’re not very high on the list for deliveries.
Now the Rivian R1T has come onto our radar. The reviews are quite positive, and they’ve begun deliveries, albeit only to employees with very early positions. The compact size, similar to our Honda Ridgeline, appeals to us more than something like an F150 Lightning. Anyway, on Friday we spec’d out an R1T and put $1,000 down*.
We’re aware that the deposits are refundable, but also imply no commitment from Tesla or Rivian concerning locking in today’s prices nor any commitment as to delivery date. And that we’re almost certainly two years or more away from delivery. Good news is that at our age, the years pass by really quickly - wasn’t it just Christmas?
Anyone else have skin in this game?
*We simultaneously bought 10 shares of Rivian stock @ $116 as a flyer. With our Tesla stock, now even more skin in the game!
