We could debate this, but there’s no need. This could be a total mess, it may not be all that bad. There isn’t enough information to lead me to say it is an ND, so I’m going to lean-in on NP.  It may be aged, and not perfect, but it hasn’t been hacked, cut, or ruined. At the end of the day, I appreciate original…

I’m in the NP camp with further validation of points of concern, and a thorough pre-purchase inspection.

I think this would be a good subject for Hoovie’s Garage. 

I’m ok with the asking price. It is a basis for negotiation, but unmolested XJs that are free from rust perforation, or the plight of 3rd, 4th, and 5th owners goes a long way in my book. 

That was my first thought too. However, I wouldn’t automatically dismiss this as ND without validation. I were a serious buyer, I’d ask for some images that reveal the truth.

If the truth reveals a dash that’s worse for the wear, and it has an engine bay that looks like it spent a century submerged in salt water, my…

Ah, perhaps you believe these comments are of a farcical nature, and perhaps you are correct, but can you be entirely sure?

Perspective is important. I too wish I could summon more stars as I summon my butler when I repeatedly ring this bell. 

I don’t think most people understand how much money $1.7B really is. Let me put that in perspective. They lost more in one quarter of the year, than I made all of last year. That’s insane. 

I smile each and every time I see a Rivian. I’ll see my way out now. 

Not seeing the eyes? Just me? It’s missing a bit of, umm... character? 

I know, right!

Both are good questions, and I’m sure that the heat is on to find out what breakdown in regard, or precaution led to this disaster of epic scale.

I hope that the environment, and the people in and around it can recover without severe, long-term consequence.

The only upside, if you can call it that is that this…

Have objective punishments ever been proven to be an effective deterrent?

I’m genuinely curious if your research and knowledge have resulted in your stance. 

You are entitled to your feelings, thoughts, and opinions. There are even rights to protect those feelings, thoughts, and opinions you have.

I would certainly hope when you happen to learn something new, that others may have known for a while that they don’t deride you in a similar way.

Unlimited charging is a nice perk, but what’s the take on battery degradation? How much of their total charge capacity do these batteries lose annually? 

When I see a Rivian, I see the future of the Honda Ridgeline.

Cash, and a strong balance sheet make a difference, particularly as these make a difference when planning for uncertainties. 

Yes, I can see that the styling is a bit fresher, but for me, still a meh-mobile.

This is a prejudice that will only serve to further divide people on this topic. Please don’t discount the amazing dads, husbands, families, friends, significant others, and the entire community of allies for the rights and equality of women. You can lump me and men like me into a bucket in which we don’t belong, but…

Is that plane a BMW? I didn’t see their turn signals as they moved across multiple lanes of traffic.

I’m guilty for raising the average price. Sorry, not sorry.

However, I believe I came out ahead.
