Rode for hours with my sister in her brand new Rivian pickup truck over the weekend. I’m sold now on getting an electric car next. The Rivian is really really nice. But why don’t have a model that isn’t fucking huge? The energy efficiency is wasted on all that mass.

Anyhow, what are the better car-sized #ev models out there these days? #electriccar

@beckett Don't know if politics plays a role, but the Tesla Model 3 is a great car if you don't have anything against the brand. Yes, it has few buttons but most things "just work". The software stack is the best, bar none and this just makes it a really pleasant car to use.

@jaimevisser @beckett Their efficiency is unmatched by anything that's not a Lucid, and that goes a long way.

Still difficult to recommend given the current climate, but if you don't care about optics you can find an affordable used model and not directly enrich an asshole.
