Rivian doesn't look any worse than the Ford F150 Lightening EV...450-580 HP ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2022/09/full-17497-363903-f150_lting.jpg) The F150 EV definitely looks a lot better than the Rivian

No offense intended, but it seems that ‘The Dude’ is quite impressed by horsepower, while overlooking the reality of how long you can or can’t use that HP.
And, the Ford is better looking. Dude put on some glasses and look at both trucks again. The rivian is one ugly truck if it is even a truck

I am still looking for the perfect apron, one with reinforced knee areas would be perfect.

0-60 in 2.2 seconds I have a 2022 C8 Corvette too...goes pretty fast. Pretty sure it would smoke that Ford (too heavy).

What nobody really talks about with these EV's is maintenance!
Seems everyone just talks about charging it, and driving and then repeat.
All of those moving parts need to be lubed, and how often does it need to be serviced, and who is qualified to service it?...The dealer only?
And how often?
What will the life of the battery be? Winter driving? I've read the battery loses up to 40%.
I'm sure it's not going to be cheap to service these dogs, and the cost isn't just isn't going to be the electric bill and driving one is probably going to cost an arm and a leg!
Nope, they will have to confiscate my old truck while I'm handcuffed and kicking!
Buy the pickup so you can haul around your backup generator and gas cans!

Once i learned that i didn't "NEED" to kill something, and that if i did kill something all the fun stopped and work began, i was a much better hunter.

My BIL has already put a new motor in his tesla $$$, now he's looking at a new battery $$$$ over 12k.... miles per charge is dropping he will need one soon.
He paid 70k 7-8 years ago, now add the motor, and battery.... not mention yearly maintenance, and $1600 a year for tires.....I dont see it being worth it.

I just saw one on the way back from the driving range. I know what it looks like. It looks like an old school Subaru Brat just a little bigger....
