Looking at Pew research #'s for middle class is household income of $52,280-$117,750. I personally feel these values are to low, considering in much of the U.S. a maried couple working full time for minimum wage would earn nearly the low end figure. I don't believe Rivian should design autos to sell brand new to minimum wage earners and if you are in the upper half of "middle class" I believe they are within reach, especially considering fed. and state incentives for U.S. costomers.
I agree, however, that removing bells and whistles (level 3 driving, 4 motors, large touch displays etc.) as standard equipment would make them more attainable for the median income of $78,500 for U.S. in 2020.
