I am just pontificating here-Rivains are right sized for people who only need a truck for "truck use" every once in a while. They have a footprint that fits in to double car garage. They are nimble enough the be driven by the spouse.
And I think Roy Rogers could beat Batman in a street fight.
Exactly this^^^
The first few did. After February/ early March used prices at Manheim dropped $40k overnight according to John Clay Wolf who owns the online used car site with the catchy slogan sellmethevin or something. One Porshe dealership bought a foundation series off a guy for 200k they re-listed it for $399,000 which is Ferrari Money. I hope that Dealership manager was kicked to the curb. If I were the owner of that Dealership I would have been livid.
Something like that. I can't remember if it was supposed to be a tri or quad motor. I think the price unless something changes will be similar, but I do know the Foundation is just the midrange dual motor with a bunch of stuff included that would cost extra on any other model. Then again FSD is now only $8k, so I don't know that there's any value in the $20k package really other than being one of the first. It doesn't seem like that's aging well though. You can only sell so many $100k vehicles which is twice of what most put their deposit down for 5 years ago.

It's definitely done now if that was the plan. That's usually pretty short term early stuff anyway on models that aren't destined to be low production. It seems the floor fell out a bit faster on this one than some of them probably anticipated.
It could turn out to be the EV Edsel. I'll pass though, there are better smarter investments than buying that dumpster on wheels hoping one day it will go up in value.
The "hemi tick" is just a leaking exhaust manifold the vast majority of the time. The RAM also benefits from using the best transmission on the planet (the ZF 8HP).
I don't pay attention to what Musk promises on his electric vehicles because I have ZERO interest in owning one.
You get 4mpg and it takes 30+ minutes to fill up your truck?
I would bet that some of the people walking away from their 'CT reservations' are now realizing that our economy isn't as great as they've been gas lighted into believing.
