After ramping up production, McDonough said Rivian is excited to expand the Rivian brand internationally, with plans to launch R2 in Europe and other global markets.

Umm, yeah, maybe not a great time for a US company to try and break into Europe.

I actually quite like Rivian, and in different times I’d probably be a potential customer, but not now. American products are now on the “avoid if possible” list.

I won’t be able to totally rid my life of them of course. That will take a long time, but I certainly won’t be adding any.

I was actually eyeing getting a Rivian because I hated Elon. Bezos is heavily invested in Rivian, but he’s being a shit bag now too, so now I get to support the Saudis at Lucid, or just fucking not buy anything until my car dies. I’m going with option 2.
