This is what Tesla needs, a real 3 row, based on the Cybertruck. For now everyone will be getting the R1S for a great electric 3 row. Imo I believe a great 3 is not just a 3rd row for small kids but one for anyone, so a large 3 row is why so many people get Traverse, Expedition, Tahoe, Suburban, Explorer, Palisade, Telluride, Range Rover, Escalade, etc. it’s too bad right now that you have to choose between Rivian’s great features and storage and the like, or Teslas great software, efficiency and great simplistic charging infrastructure. You should be able to get all if that in both without sacrificing. Tesla would do well to stop sacrificing features (like a power frunk) to simplify manufacturing. I am impressed with features that you can’t get in a S/X that you can in a Rivian or Lucid.
