Theres a Rivian truck that lives somewhere around the neighborhood of where i work...seen it so many times its just another truck now on the road now....it stood out for the first 5-6 times i saw it now its no big deal.
thats why I got the cadi flop ELR,,has the concept car looks and only 3200ish were ever made and in 2016,~50 of them came w/ the perf. package(kinda a joke,but it does go 130mph on electron,wink wink),,theres only ~3 in all of mass,,so talk about rare.I get alot of thumbs up and alot of questions and stares,,couple of pics and video too while driving.

I like the tesla roadster,,when that hits the market....I've thought about going to force five and having one of their cool cars turned into an ev.styling and speed.

the ELR was freaking hilarous. I loathe GM with a passion, what with the leaded fuel lowering the IQ of most of the US in the name of profits.

I have a cyber truck on order, the 3 motor spec was 0-60 in 2.9. same as my buddy's new corvette.
I'll change it to the quad motor once I can.

it's going to be crazy fun to see something the size of a mobile home on 35" tires match a 2 seat sports car all the way to 60 and I'd have to google the 1/4 mile runs, but that would be fun!

Ohh yeah, and it's bulletproof. which will come in handy around Baltimore for me.

For my use, I believe I won't have to charge (on the road) to tow my boat. I do hope we get pull through chargers in the future, something like the 18-wheeler pumps that are bigger with much more room around them.

HUMMER. For when you have a tiny penis, and want the world to know:

I'll do the same with my Model X. Go.
How‘s this for a test.

I’ll park my Hellcat in my garage.

You park your Tesla in your garage.

Then, let’s see whose house catches on fire first.

I've seen that,,the over price on the car was the big turn off.I got mine used and on the cheap,,so the price I paid ,its far superior than any of the new cars in that price range.
car should have been made faster,,sub 5sec 0-60mph
anyway,,back to electric boats.good luck for the pioneers in this market.

Yep! It was mentioned in the link. GM even recommends keeping their EVs outside.
