Dear humans at Rivian. If your vehicle didn't look like a cartoon, I might consider one. It's not conformity, or even ego. It's the same reason I don't wear a clown outfit in public.
I don't own a lot of things, but they all look nice.
Until then, I enjoy the tech story.
- lern_too_spel 25d agoPeople complained about the Prius, but plenty of people drove Mini Coopers, which looked even more ridiculous and were far less functional. You can't please everybody.
- acomjean 25d agoCars can be a form of signalling. I had a coworker who sold his small lexus, because it made dating weird.
- horsawlarway 25d agoI don't even really understand the complaint. I quite like the way Rivians look. It's a fairly generic body shape, but the headlamp and grille shape is distinctively "happy" instead of "aggressive" (this is a real thing, and it's intentionally designed for in lamp/grille shapes on cars) Personally, I don't want "aggressive" near my cars. They kill enough people already, and I'm tired by how common it is for manufacturers to push aggressive body shapes.
- hugeBirb 25d agoLmao what are you talking about? Obviously this is all subjective. They're unique looking, maybe not your taste but clown car?... so dramatic.
- delichon 25d ago> It's not conformity, or even ego. It's the same reason I don't wear a clown outfit in public. Why would someone with no ego care about looking foolish?
- GoToRO 25d agoWhy look foolish if you don't have to?
- GoToRO 25d agoI don't like those headlights also. I think it's a case of when founders bring too much of their personality into the product. Otherwise great product and this self drive system at least has a sound start (track objects across video frames)
- azinman2 24d agoI really like the way they look. Taste is subjective and. It absolute. Some people even like the cybertruck.
- LoganDark 24d agoGoogle Maps, the lack of CarPlay, and the lack of amber turn signals turned me away from Rivian but otherwise I would love them. I particularly like how their brake pedals feel, although I'm not a fan of the accelerator being so far off the floor.
- 7e 23d agoIt’s because the CEO wears glasses and cars are made to look like their CEOs, just like dogs resemble their owners.
