This is modestly interesting. My brother worked here before they had layoffs about two years ago, and had a generally favorable opinion of the company and leadership.
Fundamentally, while I think RJ seems like a sound businessman and technologist, and I like the company’s taste a bit, I will never be able to reconcile his views with mine. He very openly views cars as computers and software and services that happen to move you around, and I would like it to be a machine over which I have as minimal a relationship as possible with the manufacturer after I acquire the product.
Still, I wish them luck.
Saw a post on YT yesterday by a guy who had put 150k on his rivian truck doing real truck shit - towing, hauling stuff. Two years in and he still loves it. It comes with a great warranty.
Whew. I’m glad he’s happy with his purchase. I can’t ever imagine having enough money that I could drop that kind of cash on a toy, no matter how neat I think it looks.
I’ve never looked up the price. Someone should say what they cost for those curious enough to wonder but lazy enough to not look it up. I offer them one vote of approval redeemable nowhere.
They start at $70k. And they are actually still losing money on each sale.
Why would it be considered a toy? Actually asking
It’s largely marketed as a recreation/sport vehicle. It’s for going camping and off-roading.
That isn’t too say that it can’t also get you to and from work, or even be used for constructive uses. But at the price and feature set, I think anyone would agree it’s designed to be a fun luxury first and foremost rather than a practical tool.
JerryrigEverything?
I’m seriously thought that was Stevo
Steve-O if no one introduced him to drugs and alcohol, and all that ambition and gusto went into starting a business, not getting tazed in the ball sack.
Can you imagine, that would’ve been such a waste of his potential…
Thank you, Jesus
So 2024 Steve-O?
I came here to see if anyone else did.
They do look a like
As a Tesla owner, I agree, so wanna be a good example and make a cheap, simple, full of buttons EV with no tracking?
I like my car, but it would only benefit me if there were as diverse as options as possible.
TL;DR Customers want bigger SUVs so manufacturers should stop building crossovers/sedans similar to the Model Y.
