I'll just put this here. A new Rivian owner thinking about going to a Tacoma.

We see numb-nuts like this guy in NH all the time. Every winter my tow strap comes in handy many time throughout the winter with these fancy SUV's that come up from Boston / CT

If Numb-NutZ can afford a 85k appliance, 2k toing bill shouldn't a issue

 

It might, if it doesn't get ruined by those who put their politics first.

 

If these charge up toys were anything but a fad the oil companies would be attacking them 24/7 on teevee, radio and internet ads. They see them as no threat to their long term bottom line, and because of that so do I. I'm not surprised they get stuck in a little snow the damn things are heavy AF.

 

LOL, you are literally speaking the "attack" the oil companies are doing.

What, you think the $2,000,000,000 we spend a DAY on gas hasn't bought "facts" on social media?

 

Maybe fresh powdery snow. You’re not doing that in lake effect without a full send start

 

I've never seen a Rivian commercial with a truck smashing through a snow bank. Nissan yes. I'd be too afraid to do that without setting off my airbag..no matter what the car.

 

I remember in Ohio actually hearing the wet snow thud against the windshield. No joke.

 

Not completely true. . Tacoma owners purchase a brand new 3rd gen for $40-$55k, depending on the model. Then they'll spend an additional $15-$40k on overland or desert Baja modifications. It's a preference and if you live in Socal, you'll see all the $$$$ dumped into Tacomas, Tundras, 4Runners, Broncos, Gladiators, Wranglers, etc. . . Its not that far off from what a Rivian cost new.

If you live in Socal, you'll see a lot of these Rivian's on the street. To me, the people who buy them are the tech yuppies that want the latest and coolest thing. Reminds me of two of my buddy's who had to buy a Tesla. Why, it's part of the industry and shows you that you're one of them. One works for Google in Santa Monica and my other buddy works for a small production company in Noho.

 

No need.

It's happening now

.

In China.

.

What, you think its coincidence that their economy is growing off technologies we invented?

 

And even before the EV people get their charging stations every 500 ft ...

I saw a hydrogen-powered vehicle for sale with fueling stations only in California. Hell of a deal for people who live in any other state. Look out for the posts from those simps complaining they cannot use gravel roads in Texas.

 

First you said “it might”. Now you’re saying “it is”. What, is making up your mind & staying on topic proving to be too difficult? Lol.

What I honestly love the most about people like you, is how you claim to know so much, you’ve basically got it all figured out, yet you do nothing more than talk shit about how much you think you know on a forum. You should be leading the charge for change with all of that supposed knowledge. Go run shit, big brain… But still keep us posted. Thanks again.

 

Because they’re smart

 

Yes

 

No problem has ever been solved with a closed mind. Hate is a stronger emotion than love, hate just weighs a lot more.

 

I hate it when people say that

 

I hate when my cardiologist says I need to watch my diet and exercise more or it’s going cause some serious problems, the choice is yours.

 

lol...now do the entire globe broken down by emitters and check out passenger vehicles (non-commercial) from the developed world.
It won't make a difference.

 

First true statement you've made here

tres bien , merci mon ami

 

Oh god lol you're wasting your time with your low grade philosophizing. Stop trying to convince drivers to adopt EVs. If you want to bring about a renewables-only global paradigm you need to ask global industry and developing countries to adopt green tech. Replacing every car on American freeways with EVs will not accomplish that, especially through your "trickle-up" theory.
