Announcing our new "CLUBS" section where you can join or create a Rivian club or group! You can use this new feature to conveniently plan and discuss local events, gatherings or other club/group related topics.
So we encourage you to join (or start) special-interest and regional-based Rivian clubs at: https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/group-categories/clubs-groups.1/
That sucks!
Unfortunately they probably won’t do anything about it. I had 4k dashcam footage of a guy running a stop sign in front of me. I pulled out behind him and the camera caught him fly through another stop sign around a corner barely missing a jogger. I followed him to a red light where he had to stop and you could see everything clear as could be since it was around noon on a sunny day. I took the footage down to the local PD and thought there was absolutely no reason to not go after him. The police officer assigned to the case flat out told me there was nothing they could do. They would have to either catch the person in the act or it would have to be caught on a police camera….
Police won’t/can’t do much of anything, these days. “Defunded,” unstaffed and disliked by “the movement” against policing, jails, penalties, law and order. Sad, but true in most states these days.
He keyed a Mazda, Audi and Rivian. Highly unlikely that either are EV's And the Rivian is so rare, it is unlikely that the perp knew it was an EV. This is simply the action of a Sociopath getting their thrill by being able to exert power and control over someone else. If I'm OP, I'd be tempted to post the video on every social media platform and send to the local news. That is probably the best way to get the person identified and build enough attention to have something done about it.
Sure, that happens. Is that what happened here? I'd say it's extremely unlikely the Mazda behind the Rivian and was keyed first was an EV (perhaps the OP will confirm if the Mazda and Audi were EVs). More likely this guy who was clearly dragging a load of bags down the street was simply pissed at the people parked in "his" parking space which inconvenienced him by forcing him to lug his bags further from car to door.
Agreed. The video does show a homeless man, though at first glance I thought he just flew in from New Jersey.
Whether or not this was targeting EV's or not there are plenty of cases where EV's are clearly targeted. I also agree that EV tax credits are certainly not the biggest bang for your buck to speed adoption. In my opinion just as many people are turned off by the incentive as actually incentivized because the thought is "if they are so great then why do they need huge subsidies".
