Pickup of the Future?

My wife wanted to go to REI Friday when we were out to dinner. That place annoys me. It seems to have hypocrisy in the air when you walk in. This kinda confirms that. I did buy some tenacious tape while I was there but I did not join the co-op.

The flagship store in Denver’s kinda awesome.

The preorder bonus for Rivian’s EV is a $20K price hike.

The dems want gas prices to soar so that people will look to replace their gas vehicles for electric.

@Wildabeast makes out like a bandit again.

Rivian apologizes for ‘broken trust’ and axes preorder price increases that hit as much as $20K

New pricing for Rivian’s EVs won’t apply to preorders.
