Here's hoping they put some of that money into coming up with some less-ugly designs.

- melling 2y agoPeople seem to like the designs. My neighbor has had one for over a year. I’ve seen a few more around town recently.
- joecool1029 2y agoWorse than being ugly, the Playskool style construction of only a few major parts makes them cost a fortune to repair from minor fender benders. I'm not sure what's had more of an impact on increasing insurance premiums, this or Kia/Hyundai's support for struggling car thieves.
- sliken 2y agoI've heard this before, but when I dig in it seems like it's not true. Newer cars (gas or EV) are more complicated, more crowded, more sensors, more cables, etc. Even replacing a bumper is labor intensive, often requires messing with sensors, wiring harnesses, repainting, integrating new sensors into the car, debugging resulting problems, etc. As a result that it's becoming increasingly easy to "total" a car in collisions that would have been repaired a decade ago. If you damage a major part of the chassis you get totaled, regardless if it was 25 welded pieces or 1 cast piece.

- nielsbot 2y agoI like them? Especially the R3 if that ever makes it to production. https://rivian.com/r3 https://rivian.com/r3
