Selling $80k electric cars and making comments like this is sort of like saying ‘let them eat cake’ in 1780

Rivian CEO should keep his mouth shut until a few grand gets you a used compact electric hatchback (VW Polo or similar) with a decent battery.

I buy what my meager wage allows me to afford…

Make an EV that competes on price with a Corolla and I’ll be there.

Mans just mad people arent buying his cars.

Stupid out of touch billionaires.

How to tell the entire world that you’re rich and entitled.

Have you seen the price of electric cars it’s ridiculous. No way I can afford one.

Also never mind the fact I have no way of charging it because I only have access to on-street parking. If they really wanted to help they should bring down the cost of their massively overpriced vehicles and also invest in distributing charging points around the country.

Isn’t the ultimate plan supposed to be that they’ll be at least one charging point and every highway at least every 8 mi?

I just looked up the price for a Rivian truck and holy shit is this guy for real? Lmao. Just another out of touch CEO virtue signaling. If he really felt this way he would make them affordable lol

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.

Forgive me, sire; I hadn’t $80,000 to spend on a luxury truck.

You fuck.
