A BMW X5 disappeared & this Rivian appeared
The kids were getting bigger, the BMW looked overloaded on their last trip to the beach, so maybe…?
I haven’t talked to the neighbors yet...

Electric Pickup & SUVs from a Calif startup with factory in Illinois
These are High dollar vehicles, say $75-$120k, and despite the prices, industry analysts say they lose ~$40k per vehicle. Stock has sagged from $130 to $12 today. ...
They look great
I’m a fan of the design. The reliability as compared to the X5 is TBD…

No doubt
I was a Jeepster fan, back in the day. First with the black one ~ 1972 Then the red one - it was late 60’s I think. ...

VW will invest up to US$ 5 billion and Rivian will help with software development - an area where VWs own Cariad has struggled for years. Whether this will be enough remains to be seen…
Mystery Solved
Rivian belongs to a family moving to the mainland from Hawaii. Their car arrived a day before they did, and our neighbors picked it up at the docks. It will soon be gone ...
Very interesting 👍🏻
Would love to try out both Rivian and Lucid at some point. They both suffer from arriving a tad too late, when money was no longer free, so unlike Tesla they couldn’t get all the necessary investments covered under that period. They apparently make better...
