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

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.

  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.
