Rivian also has some decent designs. I know that Ford has a stake in the company, but it's only holding 12%, so I don't know that they have much say in what goes on over there.

I could've sworn Ford sold out in April. Also I love the idea of a Rivian, looks so good, but one of my customers has had one on order for so long it might as well be the cybertruck to him at this point.
