      To be fair, Rivian is selling as many trucks as they can produce. Rivian could sell more vehicles if they had the line capacity.

      Tesla is an older company with more mature manufacturing lines, and they can make more Trucks, but no one wants them.

        . . . and have 100k to spend.

        You can get an 84 month auto loan these days if you’re dumb enough to do it.

        If you’re dumb, and you can get $15-17k from selling an existing vehicle, you can get a 3 year lease down to delta of $500-$600.

        Telsa was pushing leases pretty hard because a lot of EV incentives are lease-only. I’ll bet they duped a lot of people into putting a shitload down for a lease.
