    I used to want one. They were super cool, but much like Volkswagen(sp) the era where Nazis owned them sucked.

    Now I want a Rivian.

      When they only made the S, and they were super rare space age tech, Tesla was kinda cool. Now they make road going appliances, and the owner is a terrible person.

          what car from the last 15 years isn’t, though?

          I abhor Tesla and their nazi CEO but to think any other automaker is any better with regard to privacy or openness?

              I don’t blame you at all, though there are definitely some tradeoffs

                I’m ok with needing to keep an 8track collection instead of CDs if it means that my car won’t report my every sneeze to Ford or whothefuckever.

                    that’s as modern as I’m willing to tolerate in a car. If it has a touch screen, then I’m personally offended and whomever designed that vehicle should be flogged.

      Rivians are silly. Much less silly than the Cybertruck but still excessively large and heavy with pedestrian-murdering front ends, among other gripes like not having a glovebox or a power button

      They seem neat, but I’d like to experience their UI first. If it’s as awful as the Teslas I’ve ridden in, then nah.

      Also, want a front-end winch.
