Maybe some people want to tow.

I'm in the market for a new car and it sure as shit isn't gonna a be electric. Maybe that's because I don't have $80k to drop on a new car. Maybe it's because I have zero interest in dealing with range issues. Maybe it's because every EV is a goddamn touchscreen on wheels.

Problems with electric cars :

Cost morenup front Claimed range is NEVER real not even close Batteries are super expensive to replace or repair and wear out sooner than ic engines Bad on the environment to manufacture Lack of charging stations makes fake range numbers super bad Slow to charge Useless on road trips Range even worse in the winter Its better for the environment to keep an older car on the road than to make a new ev

I'm not currently in the market for a truck and I don't know much about Rivian. Now I know for sure, based on this alone, I will never buy a Rivian vehicle. I used to consider buying a Tesla as well, but won't for similar reasons.

Much like his company, it's a copy off of Elon Musk

"If you buy a car that does not have the hardware for full self-driving, it is like buying a horse,”
