Even if I would save $100 per fill up I would not consider an EV. I just HATE them. It's not what I call a car, sorry. On top of that it's super bad for the environment, no matter what narrative the media and politicians want us to believe. Educate yourself on the pollution caused by EV and you think twice about buying another one.
No argument there at all. I know they are as bad, and potentially worse, if not actually worse, for the environment.
For example, it takes 7 years for a Smug, I mean Toyota Prius to become as carbon neutral, including production, transportation and use, as a Land Rover Discovery Sport V8 to just to be produced!
And its not a car, its a pickup truck
Thats actually why I picked the Rivian vs the others on the market, price point, and pound for pound. I get the performance I want, the second best warranty in the market, and 835hp/914tq. I am not buying it to be "green". I am buying it because when I compare the other alternatives, Silverado, tahoe, F150, Wagoneer, etc... I get more HP (and for me thats the biggest thing), followed by me not having to wrench on this vehicle. I will still own a ICE (internal combustion engine) as a EV doesnt do road trips really well.
The one I have speced out is a fully loaded model, at $72,100. Which is cheaper than a Sierra/Yukon Denali loaded similar by about 20-30k
I am in it for the Smiles per mile... The fuel savings is just a bonus... Not to mention no oil changes, no tune ups, and a few other things.
