[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread seems like one troll that just hates Rivians/EVs and wants everyone to drive tiny cars and bicycles. [/quote]

Hey moron, do some basic math. You are probably a lawyer, a business degree major, or some other flimsy liberal arts degree major who must at math.

Imagine an 8500+ lbs Rivian accidentally running a stop sign at 25 mph and hitting a small kid crossing the street.  Now compare that same incident to someone driving a 3250 lbs Honda Accord. The Rivian has a gargantuan 2.61x more mass than the Honda Accord.

Let me spell it out for you in simple terms:  to transfer the same amount of momentum into a child as the Rivian going 25 mph, the Honda Accord would have to be traveling at 65+ mph in the neighborhood!

How many people would be outraged at a car traveling 65 mph through their neighborhood streets where their kids play?  Quite ironic that's outrageous yet the Honda Accord going 65 mph in a neighborhood has the same momentum as a fat Rivian going only 25 mph.

These cars are ridiculously sized and an extreme danger. The worst part is they Rivian owners pay $0 in taxes to maintain our roads yet they do the most damage to them per driver becise of their extreme mass.  At least with stupidly sized ICE SUVs They require more gas so end up getting taxed more. They contribute proportionally to the amount of damage they inflict on roads. Rivian owners are freeloading deadbeats, and they're dangerous for everyone else around them. [/quote]
