THIS!
As an R1T owner, I reserved both EREV and BEV but with the current approach I just cant imagine buying the harvester over what is out there. BEV all day for me. And lets not forget, all these are available today. 2-3 years from now the gap is going to be even wider.
I get there are a...
Whats interesting is all the shiny stats are for the BEV. Towing, 0-60 etc.
Harvester might be slower and less able, but can limp along for a more miles. Its a bad compromise IMO.
I sincerely hope they rethink this approach. Just make the harvester more expensive, Even a 20K increase would...
As an MD of one the largest marketing consultants in the world who advises groups far larger than Scout or VW, I will politely agree to disagree.
Appreciate the OP though, lets hope for something good!
Jeez I bet you're fun at parties.
Market research does not always provide accurate criteria (VW buzz) and initial pre sales is no indicator of long term sales figures (cybertruck). They need to win in 2027 with a vision that leads the market and not settling to satisfying todays early adopters.
Cancelled my CT reservation, but that was going to happen anyway. Disaster IMO.
Also cancelled my R1T G2. Nothing worth upgrading for over my G1.
Still have my Rivian R2 reservations.
Im guessing it will be similar to Range Rover. Sure you can get one for 110k but the one you see in the magazine is closer to 225k.
So 60K for base, 110-120 for what you saw.
We have a few examples out there that will point us in the right direction;
Jeep Wagoneer S: 72K
Silverado Electric WT: 79K
Rivian R1S: 76K
ID. Buzz: 60K
Hummer 96K
These are all base prices and the closest to size and range is the Rivian or Chevy at 76 and 79K. A 60K vehicle is going to be...
Broncos dont have rear air vents? Wow, that is quite frankly ridiculous and hillarious they went to market that way. I wouldnt even consider a vehicle without them. This is the 21st century and a 70K vehicle.
So the Rivian spare sits under the bed between the bed and the battery. It’s pretty slick and doesn’t take up any bed space. That’s what I was hoping for.
