I just mean that I haven't seen any footage of a Rivian actually being used or doing what they say.

There are marketing videos but for all I know that's an F-150 with a new skin.

You would assume if they really had something with 410 mile range they would have a journalist come and do some long drive, I.E. Tesla going from LA->SF two days ago.

Or showing off it's acceleration. I really don't think they have even a single working truck that does what they say it does yet. Not to say they're a fraud, just that they're not there yet.



view as:

They have previously confirmed that they use F-150s as test mules for the drive train.

As I've understood it, and this might be what you mean, it's just the F150 bodies that were put on top of the Rivian Skateboard. And that's what they've been testing for years.
