Comment on Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe says too many carmakers are copying Tesla

Saw a post on YT yesterday by a guy who had put 150k on his rivian truck doing real truck shit - towing, hauling stuff. Two years in and he still loves it. It comes with a great warranty.

Whew. I’m glad he’s happy with his purchase. I can’t ever imagine having enough money that I could drop that kind of cash on a toy, no matter how neat I think it looks.

  I’ve never looked up the price. Someone should say what they cost for those curious enough to wonder but lazy enough to not look it up. I offer them one vote of approval redeemable nowhere.

    They start at $70k. And they are actually still losing money on each sale.

  Why would it be considered a toy? Actually asking

    It’s largely marketed as a recreation/sport vehicle. It’s for going camping and off-roading.
    
    That isn’t too say that it can’t also get you to and from work, or even be used for constructive uses. But at the price and feature set, I think anyone would agree it’s designed to be a fun luxury first and foremost rather than a practical tool.
