How's Rivian's union drive going?

Have never met EV drivers more pissed-off at their car's software than VW owners. Hopefully, this will inject something more functional back into VWs.

After all these years any time a company with a poor product buys a company with a good product, I've stopped assuming the poor product will become more like the good product

Are they gonna fix how dumb those cars look?

A Rivian R1, as seen from straight on, with its dumb little headlights

I really like the way they look. I think it's just one of those designs you either love or really hate. That angle is goofy though.

Boooo! Only my opinion is the right one!

[–] Glimpythegoblin@lemm.ee 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

No my opinion is the only good one!

Well.. okay. But only because I’m sleepy.

See, the thing is, I hate the styling of it, but I absolutely love that car makers - freed from the rigid designs demanded by huge combustion engines, transmissions and fuel tanks - are actually trying stuff out.

I remember when they got rid of the old WRX design. I thought the new ones looked stupid.

But they were right. Now when you look at the old ones they look cringe

Even cars like the Nissan cube and the CJ cruiser honestly my opinions have totally changed

What does that mean for scout? VW is building that factory in South Carolina right now...

[–] curiousaur@reddthat.com 1 points 3 months ago

It probably means the scout is going to build on Rivian's platform.
