I am 1 of the 51.9%. It's been 60 years since I owned a Ford product and I would prefer the Silverado - my last 3 trucks have been Silverados including a 1996 extended cab long box, a 2006 extended cab long box and my current 2016 double cab standard box. That said which one I decide on will likely depend on who is able to convert my reservation to an order first.

There isn't much info on the Chevy WT or any trims between WT and RST currently (battery sizes, target range, std features, pricing, etc). Until I know more, Chevy is a 50-50 proposition.

I've got Hummer 3X and RST First Edition reservations. I suspect I'll get the Hummer first, and then I just need to decide if the features exclusive to that (removable top, WTF mode, and the high amount of travel for the air suspension) are actually something I like/use enough to flip the Silverado instead of trade up into it. I really like the extra range, midgate, and some of the tech (HUD, auto-start with your phone, the new Unix-based updating platform) on the Silverado

Not I. I am waiting for the Silverado.

I have a Rivian reservation too. It will probably be available before the Silverado, and is most likely what I will buy, but if they drop the Max battery (400+ mile), I will cancel that (or convince my wife that she doesn't hate the looks of the front end, and change my R1T reservation to the R1S SUV for her), and get the Silverado.

I have deposits on the Silverado, F150, and Cybertruck. If all is as it seems with the Silverado, 99% chance I'll get it.

Based on my place in the line for reservations, The Chevy will likely be first available and that's great because I like it the best.
Even if the other 2 come first, I'll wait on the chevy unless new information becomes available to make me change my mind.

Interesting that we have very similar choices. My wife's 2018 MDX Hybrid will be sold to Carmax or Carvana and will be replaced by an R1S on deposit now. I love the "Rosie the Robot" look of the Rivian face.

Have you looked at the Fisker Ocean? Your wife might like it. Deliveries start later this year Fisker Ocean | Fisker Inc.

I have seen the Fisker, and I like it, but she wants 3 rows (even thought we might need it once a year, and even then we could avoid it with minor inconvenience). We have a reservation for the Vinfast VF9, but I'm really not expecting to go through with that, it was more just a hedge. She is interested in seeing the Hyundai, Kia, and VW 3 row offerings, but that might be a couple years away. I really like the R1S, and I think looks aside, she would too. It may still end up being her next car.

Right now "her" car is a VW Atlas, but most days she drives our Volt because I have been working from home more. We have a Suburban 2500 we are selling in the spring, and the Atlas will probably be traded or sold when the Rivian is ready. We are 2nd half of 2023 for estimated delivery. Based on what information comes out for the Silverado over the next year or so I may end up pushing for her to consider the R1S if it looks like the Silverado would be better for us. Honestly if the Silverado was about a foot shorter, I would probably be pushing for that now.

There are definitely many exciting EVs coming out!

Exciting for sure, it’s like the early 1900s when there were literally many dozens and dozens of automakers. Just wait until they Chinese show up with low cost EVs which Tesla has already indicated they are going to preemptively strike and release a $25,000 EV. At the rate things are going with Tesla, that may be 2030 before it happens.

Tesla's not making a "cheap" car anytime soon. That would be wasting the capacity on high profit margin vehicles that they are making now where demand far exceeds supply. King Elon said they aren't focusing on the cheaper model.

Holding reservations for the Silverado, Lightning, Hummer & Cybertruck.

At the end of the day, whoever gets their production ramped up enough to get a truck to me gets my business. Fortunately, they all are likely to be great trucks, so any of them (with at least 300 mile range) will work for me.

There is a lot of grousing and mud-slinging at Tesla for pushing back production on the CT, but those paying close enough attention understand that the CT is intrinsically tied to the 4680 cell. Scale production of that component is required. If the 4680, and hence the CT come online in a timely manner, the advantages are compelling.

I am not holding my breath. That process is going to take the time it takes, and I am sure will be worth to wait for someone.

The Silverado, with the 400 mile Ultium pack would be a 2nd choice, all else being equal; despite being a bit luke-warm on that nose. I get it, it looks nice & slippery, but it is the least attractive angle on the beast.

At the end of the day, the Lightning is poised to go into production within weeks, has enough range, and actually looks great. It is the least cutting-edge of the group, but if they get a truck built for me first, I'll buy it.
