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

Geesus. Here we go. Prius, I mean Tesla, I mean Sheep 2.0.

Same as it ever was. DCUM at its "finest".

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.

It’s not that big.

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.

Not only are they destroying the planet for their toxic waste batteries, but they’re so heavy they’re destroying the roads we drive on, too. Rivian drivers should be ridiculed whenever they are encountered. A Chevy Suburban is better for the planet.

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

Fixing a dented rear quarter panel on a rivian costs as much as a Prius or Tesla

I was driving down I-66 today and I saw a Rivian with a dented in bumper. I though why not get it fixed?

Have one, best vehicle I’ve ever owned. R1S isn’t that big - similar in size to an XC90 or Explorer.

So much hate and misinformation on this thread. Sorry you all can’t afford them.

The R1S also has a curb weight over 8500 lbs!

It is a gargantuan behemoth terrible for our roads with that much weight. Rivian owners get all of the benefits from driving on our roads yet avoid paying gas taxes even though they drive monstrously heavy cars that weigh more than a suburban. With that much mass, rivian drivers are an insane danger to everyone on the road aound them. Imagine how much damage a Rivian owner can inflict on property and flesh if they're traveling only 50 mph in a 8500 lbs monster. They'd annihilate a family riding in a 3239 lb Honda Accord.

They need to close the stupid loopholes for light trucks and start taxing and regulating stupidly heavy cars like rivians as mini semi-trucks / heavy trucks that require appropriate class drivers licenses and taxation.

Batteries are heavy. It’s not that big size-wise.
