Rivian...........different class

The journalists which I've read have represented the Rivian pickup as kind of a 'boutique', 'up-market' styling accessory for the well-healed.
It's not intended for the F-150/RAM/ Silverado/Sierra/Tundra/Titan/ect, demographic.
It will 'do' what those trucks will do, and exceed their performance, however, it plays to a niche market willing to pay the premium for premium.
The Rivian has the aerodynamics of CYBERTRUCK. It would be a great canvas for aero mods and ridiculously long range.

Yeah there are a few Tesla places around here too. I’ve sat in them in their “ dealership” lobby. Pretty nice interiors

I saw some pics of the new 2023 Prius. Guess what, the silhouette looks shockingly similar to a Lucid.

Been listening to Lucid Air engineering videos which are very well done and fascinating.

How credible are those pics? Most sources I found said the car will be a coupe, which doesn't sound reasonable considering family cars are never coupes, and the Prius is solidly a family car.

Anyhow, I don't care what the Prius looks like. Who buys a Prius because it looks incredible?

I am interested to know the specs. Toyota used to say they aim for a 10% fuel economy improvement with each generation, but they mostly fell short in Gen IV, and I'd be very surprised if Gen V will meet that ambition. It was a dumb thing to state anyhow, because a rate of improvement is unsustainable, and the gains become more meaningless as they increase. The practical difference between a 55 MPG car and a 60 MPG is not significant.
