"I don't think I would have believed it."

Rivian CEO issues strong statement about people who purchase gas-powered cars: ‘Sort of like building a horse barn in 1910’::“I don’t think I would have believed it.”

Forgive me, sire; I hadn’t $80,000 to spend on a luxury truck.

You fuck.

A luxury truck with the ugliest headlights on a car today.

I’m not even sure what my headlights look like. I never really see them.

I love the front end of the Rivian.

If you knew that he was referring to the purchase of a $80k Suburban in 2030 would that change your assessment?

I think you know very well I would never engage with this possibility as a means of self preservation. Good day sir!

So a $77-82k Suburban is good in your eyes then? How come? Why? Oh wait, you didn’t read the quote.

Just because he compared it to a suburban doesn’t mean that the Mitsubishi mirage and used Corollas aren’t a thing.

And sure the Chevy Bolt is 26k, but that’s still 5k more expensive than a new Corolla and has like half the range, and you can fuel the Corolla way faster.
