For anyone not in the loop, the 2nd photo is the Rivian R3X
Oh so this thing is probably 6x the size of a Yugo.
Yeah honestly it looks small next to the other trucks/SUVs but the thing is still MASSIVE. I don’t know why every car company wants to obliterate children (and the planet) this much.
Bigger cars are mostly just more metal. But you can ask prices abouat proportionally to size. The expensive parts are all about the same, whether it is the engine, gearbox, axis, computer...
So by selling someone a car that is twice as big for twice the money, when it only cost 25% more to produce, profit goes "brrrr"
