I really like the way they look. Taste is subjective and. It absolute. Some people even like the cybertruck.
reply> It's not conformity, or even ego. It's the same reason I don't wear a clown outfit in public.
replyWhy would someone with no ego care about looking foolish?
Why look foolish if you don't have to?
replyLmao what are you talking about? Obviously this is all subjective. They're unique looking, maybe not your taste but clown car?... so dramatic.
replyI 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)
replyPeople 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.
replyI don't even really understand the complaint. I quite like the way Rivians look.
replyIt'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.
Cars can be a form of signalling.
replyI had a coworker who sold his small lexus, because it made dating weird.
Google 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.
