I think they're just one of those polarizing, love-it-or-hate-it kind of cars. I love it. The only problems I've had are all electronic—infotainment/Bluetooth, electric liftgate, backup camera—which makes me somewhat wary of an electric car from Ford like the Mach E. I mean, surely they put more...
I can tell you it's exactly as long as my 2014 Ford Flex, which makes it fantastic for imagining the R1S in my garage! The R1S is 6" wider and up to ~9" taller (depending on ride height on the R1S—I don't know what the parked/kneel height is).
I hope you guys have better luck with your Rivians than your Sea-Monkeys. Mine were awesome and even survived a move in a U-Haul. (I held them very, very carefully.)
That could certainly be all it is. I doubt Bezos has to wait very long for much in his life. "What do you mean I can't have same day delivery on my vans? RJ!!!!!"
To be clear, I'm on board with it being a joke. I just think when you hit a certain, uh, status (like say $200B)... your words are scrutinized and analyzed and they carry a lot of weight, intentional or not.
Plus we have nothing better to do than to analyze things and discuss them since we are...
Dangerous to think that tweets are meaningless. They affect the stock market, elections, etc. at this point.
Was Bezos joking around? Maybe, maybe not, but it sure put a negative finish on an otherwise glowing ("one of the greatest entrepreneurs I've ever met") message.
Classic I-haven't-watched-the-video-but-I'm-going-to-comment-anyway comment, but I will watch the video later.
I will say that when I saw Bezos' tweet (Now, RJ, where are our vans?!), it sounded like a hardly-veiled threat. yes, you could take that as an innocent, playful tweet akin to your...
Starting to think forum members need a sort of warrant canary in their user profile. "I HAVE NOT TAKEN DELIVERY OF A RIVIAN VEHICLE" and then when you take delivery, you remove that statement. (And then see if that holds up in court. Best of luck! At least we'll know you got your truck.)
I somewhat mentioned this in another post but seemed to be in the minority. I'm not a fan. I wouldn't say I HATE it as it's that big a deal to me, but if we could replace it with something else, I'd prefer that.
