Auto groups often target the same market but at different price points with different brands. Audi sedans vs VW sedans for instance. My Jetta got a trickle down drive train from Audi which is one of the main reasons I looked at VW.

Are you sure that Scout is targeted at Rivian customers? Or at people who wish they could afford a Rivian and can't?

Almost certainly. I don't think there is any point in making an EV truck for less than a Rivian R3.

Trucks are expensive and VW has never tried to compete at the absolute low end. To really undercut Rivian they would need an EV truck at 25k, which is a product which would absolutely suck.

Tell that to the rabbit pickup

Have you seen the prices for a golf?
I do not, no.
