They were suggesting that Rivian also make a real EV truck which they don’t
What makes them not real? They’re shaped like a truck and they operare purely on batteries, what more could there be? I get the feeling that this is truck-snobbery like the ford vs chevy guys from 20-30 years ago
It is truck snobbery. It’s a truck, the definition of a truck is a large motor vehicle used to transport goods, materials, or troops. His response is straight up gate keeping, like the people who will tell you a mustang mach-e isn’t a real mustang since it’s not shitting a bunch of CO2 into the atmosphere.
Body on frame, only on the F150, that’s not snobbery, that’s just reality, work trucks need that.
So you are leaving out the adjective “work” on purpose when you say “not a truck” because…?
Why are you being deceptive? What do you gain from that?
And plus, look at the bed. Its so short because of the cab. What kind of lumber are you even hauling in that?
