I supposed I picked the wrong night to cruise around with the Rivian due to all the political turmoil yesterday, but man the Rexers were angry. I have nothing to prove to these idiots, but to them every light a challenge, traffic be damned! These guys are nutzo as were any diesel pickup driver I happened to let pass me. The coal was a rollin' :rolleyes:

Take caution folks. Lots of anger needs to settle these next few days, and you may be a target.

Sadly I second this notion.

Had a bird flipped my way and some well-timed diesel growls this week.

I guess personal freedoms be damned!

Also, did they see this?



Nothing needs to be settled in urban traffic. They paid more and got less.

EDIT: I realize now the video above is a bit unfair. Need to slap 20" AT's on the Rivian for a fairer fight. But still, that was embarrassing considering the price paid for that RAM. This is a little more fair:

Similar a few weeks ago. One tried to race me when I was in sport. After 3 seconds, I never saw him again.

Yeah, but not worth it in traffic. Best to drop a card under his wiper with a link to the above video. Accomplishes same thing, less risk. :)

I stay away from the news what political happened that includes Rivian?

This reminds me of a time last summer when some young guys in a big truck where making some kind of puny hand gestures at me as they passed. Naturally I couldn't let that stand so I passed them up... remembered after I passed them I was in Conserve... oops

It sadly hasn't changed much here since 2011 when I drove my first Volt. Lots of coal rolling and trying to beat it at stop lights. Most of the action in the Tesla was sports cars. Be curious to see how people react to the Rivian since it's local.
