Is the electric Rivian SUV the current “it” car?

They are. It’s a $100K quickly depreciating “outdoorsy” looking electric SUV. It’s a “flex” you have money and you’re stylish.

They look cheap to me and I expect the company to go bankrupt.

The front looks like a damn hippopotamus.

This car looks absolutely unremarkable on the road. Straight sheet metal with no folding.

Considering how absurdly expensive it is to repair body work on a Rivian, that's a hell of a flex

You can lease them now. They're going to be even more popular moving forward.

Ughhhh


Just another really dumb oversized SUV/truck that Americans are addicted to and that are terrible for road and pedestrian safety.


We need to be canceling these behemoth monstrosities and building much smaller cars that are safer for everyone on the road and walking in the street. Plus, smaller cars are better fir the environment.

Yes, it's the hot car in our private school carpool pickup line among parents. The students seem to prefer the Bronco.

I want one very badly but outside of the price range I'm willing to pay. Want electric 3 row SUV but don't want a tesla.. plus I think calling an X an SUV is a strecth.

Kia EV9s just started arriving at dealerships for half the cost of an R1S... wonder if that will affect demand/pricing of the Rivians.

Are you stupid?

The Rivian R1T has a height over 73+" and is over 217" in length.

It is a gargantuan 8500+ lbs.

Contrast that to say the Honda Odyssey which has a height of 69.6" and a total length of 205.2".

An Odyssey has a weight that is almost HALF of the Rivian, coming in at only 4482 lbs.


Nothing screams "I'm an entitled, moronic db@g that gives zero Fs about anyone else" like a rivian. They are an extreme danger to everyone else on the roads and in public just like all of the other stupidly sized cars Americans are addicted to. The govt should be taxing the crap out of behemoths like the Rivian that weigh that much and would have an insane momentum in a crash. The rivian weighs even more than a really stupid vehicle like the Cadillac Escalade, lol. It is extremely dangerous for everyone else on the road.

Proof that EV purchasers are idiots and deserve to be fleeced savagely for their stupidity.
