I agree with you but their factory is in Normal, Illinois - a former Mitsubishi place. Rivian also has an engineering office in Michigan.

Rivian is legit, and still face the daunting task of designing and producing vehicles at scale.

A good (American) friend of mine grew up in Europe. Her dad worked for NATO as a scientist. They ordered funky, but US-spec cars, including one like this. Years later, I got to ride in it... it was still awesome.

Revoked.  

Yes, there is a global shortage of EV batteries (for basically everyone but Tesla) as all of the battery factories get spooled up. In the meantime, there are the CA/ZEV states and starting in just ten days: the stricter CO requirements in the European Union. The latter trumps the former, so expect short supply in the…

Spot on.

This.

I heard rumors that the Cerberus guys were such cost-cutters that they took the batteries out of the clocks, not only to save on batteries, but also to save on labor changing the time twice per year.

Please tell me it will have a history of all the owners of Jeep... from Bantam to Willys-Overland to Kaiser to AMC to Chrysler to Daimler to those rich white guys to FIAT.

And up north, we have Gro-dozers, which is when a Bro-dozer meets significant inflows of cash.

Sounds like the seller needs a Nissan LEAF.

This.

Plug-in hybrid with 40 miles of range and a nice big electric motor. 

This.  Toyota and Ford are going that direction with the RAV4 PHEV and Escape PHEV.  

You nailed it. Look at the list of top-selling “cars” in the US. Only one has a plug-in option - the Ford Fusion.

This. Or maybe every three blocks.

Agree. I lived in Germany for four years and the pedestrian zones are sweet. They actually are true pedestrians zones. Taxis aren’t allowed and delivery takes place late at night when the shops are closed.

Yup. We did too. Had workplace charging (240V) and used the wall outlet (120V) in the garage at home. Fun little car.

The Bolt. The Model 3. The KIA Niro BEV. Those three are all around 240 miles and cost about $40K before the federal and any state incentives.

This. Audi is coming out with a slew of 20-30 mile PHEVs, but unfortunately many seem relegated to Europe as the stricter CO regs kick in January 1.
