This is supposedly one version of the pickup

Ugly with an extremely thick B pillar. Guess its targeted for the commercial sector.

I doubt that’s exactly what the production model will look like. With trim and stuff it wouldn’t look that different from a Ford Maverick, which has sold really well. But I agree it’s nothing to get excited about.

I can't remember, do we still like Bezos or did he have his picture taken with the president and now he is evil incarnate like Elon Musk?

Dude. Bezos has been on the nerd sh*t list with Musk and Zuckerberg for a decade now. Though Gates seems to have gotten himself off the list, so it can be done.

Amazon is Rivian's largest shareholder?

I believe the proposed $25,000 starting price is what they’re hoping will be “exciting”.

I kinda like it. I can see all kinds of mods people will want to do with this thing.

At least it isn't butt ugly, like the CyberTruck.
