This happened right as I’m looking for a car. Despite the price being right . . . No thanks 😊 When push comes to shove I cannot bear the thought of giving Elon a dime.

If the government wants to pay him to make rockets that’s all well and good; he seems to be really good at that. And I might be compelled by Starlink where there’s no better alternatives. But for his shitbox cars? Or his stupid social media website? Not a dime

would you ever buy a Rivian?

one of my theses about Rivian is that they will be the best USA electric vehicle option for people that feel repulsed by Elon

The Rivians are gorgeous and I would run not walk to buy one if I could afford it! Although still some hesitation just because of the Tesla charging network bs

I really would love a hybrid but those are becoming harder and harder to find

yeah, R1s are too expensive

R3s eventually will be around $40k, but unclear if the company will survive until then, especially in a gutted EV market where Tesla can keep dumping

even worse, BYD and other Chinese brands if they are granted entry could saturate the market

but Rivians are the *best* product
