ID.4 is a bit better, was about 4,600 in RWD form, not sure how much the AWD dual motor one adds, but should be well under 6,000.

The front design is so goofy with cartoonish headlights - not sure how any “truck guys” will like it.
I do like the design of the interior - seems to be very well integrated.
MT is getting huge $$$ to promote Rivian and Lucid, there are tons of posts on these brands on their social media. I wonder where its coming from……

Their supposed to be geared for enthusiasts.
Believe me they are getting big $$$ to push Lucid and Rivian.

You have it flipped around, Lucid and Rivian stories get tons of clicks which generates money for them and this is the high news item in the industry today. Believe me.

No way Rivian or Lucid generate more clicks than a new GT3.
There 100page threads in GT3 forums analyzing each review, picture, option etc. Believe me a GT3 review by MT with proper lap time, 1/4 mile etc would generate ton more clicks than EV truck most ppl could care less about.

These are extremely highly anticipated EVs and have been for years.

Motor Trend published their reviews of a GT3 months ago,First Ride, First Drive and First Test I don't get why you think months old news would outrank the brand new embargo release date for highly anticipated products/brands. And yes, vehicles, at least the Rivian, that will sell in much higher numbers than a GT3.
There are many different flavors of "enthusiasts" it's not all just about track focused machinery.

My point was they didn’t bombard their social media pages with 911 GT3 content when it was released like they are doing with this Rivian truck. Since when is it highly anticipated?! Therefore the only other assumption is its advertising $$$ paid to MT to feature these EVs. I’m sure the government is also part of this “push.”

Wow, I can't roll my eyes farther back in my head.
How can someone one this site, and a supposed auto enthusiast as yourself not be aware of the activity and interest that surrounds Rivian? It has investment from some of the largest companies in the world, including other auto companies.
It's the first all-electric pickup truck (not including random old Ford Rangers here) to hit the road. It's a new American brand that seems to be focusing on production and quality.
If you're not interested or can't comprehend what is going on around Rivian you don't need to participate in the thread and can keep your head in the sand.
One Rivian-centric post on Motor Trend's IG has over 34,000 likes while a 911 GTS post has 20,000. One Honda Civic Post has 24,000 likes, so I guess that's more of an enthusiast car than the 911 GTS right? It's highly irrelevant. Posts that have been older can typically get more "likes" since they've been up longer and have been viewed more.
