Rivian isn't all that and a bag of chips for sure! But the Cyber-Vehicle sure puts things in perspective!

Saw my first one in person today. Post WWII Soviet cars are beauty queens and instant classics in comparison. History will be unkind to Elon and the dipshit buyers of that monstrosity.
"(EV) owners want to buy an internal combustion engine model the next time they buy a car, according to a new study from McKinsey and Company, a leading consulting firm.
Approximately 46% of Americans who own an EV want to go back to a standard vehicle for their next purchase, citing issues like inadequate charging infrastructure and affordability, according to McKinsey's study, which was obtained and reviewed by the Daily Caller News Foundation. The study's findings further suggest that the Biden administration's EV push is struggling to land with American consumers, after 46% of respondents indicated that they are unlikely or very unlikely to purchase an EV in a June poll conducted by The Associated Press and the University of Chicago's Energy Policy Institute."

You know, I've always detested the looks of the Aztek, and consider it the inspiration for the shape of the Prius, plus the horrid angular post-holocaust angular Cadillacs - BUT - the Cybertruck makes it look a WHOLE lot better!!
I generally don't have much to do with this thread, but after posting this on another thread, I decided that it deserved a spot here, as well. Gorgeous car, but in my eyes, it's been ruined...

I'm not sure I would advertise the "Arduino based control system" unless I was intentionally targeting the hobby Arduino crowd. I hope at least that it's some form of rugged version that is designed to handle the heat and vibration it would be subjected to in a vehicle.
I was Ok with it until I got to the dreaded touch screen in the dash. Ruins it for me too.
Yet we need more innovation like this - it beats a $1K plus system. Put it in the cab, it'll be OK.
probably so...then there's the issue of who wrote the code for it. I would want the source code as part of the deal.
I had one of those 660's. The 4 wheel coil suspension drove so nice
I've owned several, and yes, they are a nice ride.
To me the classic looks much better than the american. Americans are just kinda goofy looking?
Yes, and no. Earlier ones were definitely outshined by their later brethren.
As this is an EV thread, I'll stop here. Promise!

You better before I get confused and derail this thread, which I about did.
