    In person for some reason it doesn't look as bad as in pics. Still would rather they did the lights horizontal.

    When I buy something that is a high end product I expect it not to be made in China, hence the reason why it costs more than some other Chinese made crap.

    I saw an R1T this morning in yellow. That definitely stands out and is definitely one ugly color.

    There are plenty of Chinese products made that are much higher quality than US made versions of the same stuff.

    Is a Rivian actually high end? I would argue know. I'd be curious to know what the absolute cheapest vehicle you can buy in North America is that uses zero Chinese parts. I'd assume even the bonkers expensive boutique stuff would still use some Chinese parts. Especially chips and electronics.

    Six or seven years ago I was working on a building project for the City of Brampton, ON. It was right around when most new projects were installing chargers in the parking lots from the get go. There was a Subaru Baja parked at the charger one day. I thought "what an idiot" this brand new parking lot with tons of space and he's taking a charger.

    Never thought much of it until the next day and he's parked again but plugged in. So went over. Wtf? The guy had converted it to electric.

    Definitely won't see many of those around. I assume he'd blown his last head gasket and just said "fuck it"

    I consider it high end since it costs twice as much as similar size trucks.

    Looks like he's also blocking the other L2 charger, too, while using the CCS one.

    It ended at $130K. $50K more than sticker price. Craziness.
