Yeah, so, how much is one of those Rivian trucks, exactly?
$73,000?
Yeah, fuck off. That's more than the median annual gross income for American workers. It's all good and well to tout a slightly more sustainable form of transportation--still not nearly as sustainable as busses or trains!--but when you're pricing it well outside what most people can rationally afford, you're not helping the situation.
and it's only $40,000 to repair a bumper dent! such value!
