Yes, and it should be something insane like $5 a minute.

Maybe true, but when my middle-class suburban friend needed a vehicle for his 2 kids, and a dog - that’s what he got.

Counterpoint:

My first thought:
It’s not your car. Don’t touch it.

On second thought:
You know what? fuck those pretentious bastards if they actually do this. 

Yet they buy em every. Single. Day.

Use the bikes to tow the trailers, dummy!

I think the truck-nuts crowd prefers ugly.

*STARTS* at over 100k. Lmao what the fuck. And middle class suburban America will eat these up and take on whatever loan they can to get it in their driveway. It’s no wonder so many loans are 84+ months and people are paying 1,000+ a month on their car note.

This is so disturbing

You mean to tell me that selling non-luxury cars at luxury car prices nets more profit? 

I’m not going to tell someone what to do with their vehicle. If they prefer a certain approach, and that approach includes a touch screen, have at it.

Because for a vast majority of the population, THEY ARE GOOD ENOUGH. Toyota is banking on people realizing this and since they already know how to make hybrids really well, they are just biding their time rather than spending ungodly amounts of money on the latest hot thing to grab simple minded shareholder’s and…

The Liberty Walk is worth it just for the knowledge that the Ferraristi elite must be absolutely beside themselves in exceptional outrage. Chianti flung everywhere. Armani suits rent into scraps of fabric and tears.

Can you imagine all of the issues that will pop up once you start driving that thing? With all of the old fluids and dried seals?

I don’t get it, either.

This is a bummer of a car. It’s too nice to restomod, and too crappy to enjoy as as-is. Stick it in a museum, I guess.

Counterpoint: These are better as an art piece than an actual vehicle. There is a saying that “old cars become valuable when they become so pretty that you forget how bad they were” - this car is valuable for that reason, but they are still really crappy cars.

Considering Rivian was able to manufacture 25k vehicles in their first year is seriously impressive. The product has been getting great reviews, they have that 100k order from Amazon. Seems like the initial stock price was too high - but they seem like they are on the right track as a company (mostly).

*leans in real close*

A Land Cruiser running over a cyclist would probably play pretty well in America, just not for the reason these activists think. 

Inevitably, anytime an article like this gets written, the heartless assholes love to crawl out of the woodwork saying things like, “If anyone’s dumb enough to take out one of these loans, they deserve what they get.” As if everyone is born with an 800 credit score and knows what an index fund is. But the picture…
