The naming thing has to do with insurance and crash testing and stuff like that. A new model of an existing line has less hurdles than an all-new line. Or somesuch.

The Rivian engineers also performed heroically, keeping those things moving after breakdowns in areas with limited resources. 

Check out the motorcycle-adventure documentary “Long Way Up” for some pre-production Rivians with physical buttons. Comically large “arcade video game cabinet” size buttons.

Name matching? I’ll fax you the list of names.

You’re dead, honey.

Just buy a super-fancy watch at a chain jewelry store, travel to destination, return fancy watch to chain jewelry store in destination city.

It is strange, carrying around the universally accepted government-issued currency for conducting financial transactions when one is potentially going to conduct a financial transaction.

I think we CAN assume he is cognitively impaired beyond mere racism.

Hotels may be pretty bland, but you don’t have to take the hotel to the trailhead to go hiking, either.

Yeah, you probably should stick to commenting about highway systems you know about, rather than ones you don’t.

When I *need* a pickup I go rent a Home Depot truck, or a pickup from U-Haul. The minor hassle in getting to either rental place (less than 2 miles) far outweighs not having to deal with a pickup truck the other 1094 days every 3 years.

Just experience with their relentless ads on social media. There’s gotta be something that does the same job for less, because that company’s not spending so much on advertising.

That’s fine, it’ll make it easier for the insurance companies to deny claims.

You weren’t going to buy a GM vehicle anyway. 

It’s kind of like moving from a house without stairs to one with stairs.  At first it’s a hassle, but then you learn to plan ahead and not be such a lazy complaining cunt.

How many shenanigans will the dealer pull when the new C8 gets there, though?

Automatic belts were used when the requirement was “passive restraint” and carmakers were fighting using airbags. Which, most of them did fight.

Or just ban air travel! That would 100% stop the asshole-on-a-plane problem!
