True. There are many other companies that are “public” (thanks, SPAC) who are in a whole other category than Rivian.

Supposedly two of them are/were Force Recon guys: https://taskandpurpose.com/news/military-record-marine-special-operators-murder-plot/

Lots of detail on the Reddit thread.

David, have you ever considered an Audi All-Road, first gen? 

Agree with you that many of us need cars to get to work, and lower income folks don’t have the $ or security of an extra car if/when the first one breaks down. Also retrofitting charging stations in existing buildings is a PITA, although a good, grounded 120V outlet works just fine too. Last, a “battery health”…

This.

So much this. Jeep is lowering the belt line and thinning the pillars. Hope others follow suit.

Uh, private charging station companies have gotten a good bit ($millions) over the past ten years for the current charging infrastructure. Depending on the business model, they may or may not take good care of them.

The BMW Zartan. Awesome cross marketing... cars and G.I. Joe:

You’re right. They pay more: https://www.kbb.com/car-news/average-new-car-sales-price-now-over-46000/#:~:text=Americans%20paid%20an%20average%20of,higher%20sales%20of%20luxury%20cars.

That’s the problem with the KIA. It’s a magnificent vehicle, but the back seat is a cave.

That’s a lot of money, but the average selling price just passed $46K:

So if David T. can buy each car for $350, he will get enough $ to buy another car... perpetual motion does exist!

This. Cold starts on old cars are a bear.

Thank you.

Looks good, but how is this an SUV?

What about outward visibility? Have we reached peak Camaro yet?

Is that the Rover V8? Which is actually a Buick V8...

1932 Ford V8:

This. And while the Prius should be lauded for its efficiency, the EPA ratings on its trucks and SUVs are abysmal. Anyone for a green Toyota Tundra?
