There are going to be dual motor models coming from Rivian?? Now that's interesting.

The interesting part is that with a dual motor small battery they might be able to beat the F-150 XLT in pricing. They would not compete with the Pro at 40k but that is not really their competition.

It can help Rivian win over potential buyers of F-150 models that overlap or are priced just a bit above that won't mind more of a niche pickup.

How many people REALLY need an F-150 anyways? Those days are long gone.

I totally agree. That is my point that only the 40k version of the F-150 that would be hard to compete, but that seems a different market altogether.

For me just the bidirectional charging gives the F-150 a clear edge. But I am not even sure if I need that. For people who use the truck more for working the F-150 might have other advantages.

The other takeaway is that the new vehicles will officially be 2022 models.

It would definitely be more appealing for anyone looking at the F-150. I wonder how close the price would be to the entry level F-150 Lightning?

Also, if there's going to be a dual motor R1T, you'd have to think the same is going to happen with the R1S right?
