    You need a camper feature when in the cold you cannot get the car charged.
    Hope you all keep warm sleeping bags in the car.

    This R3X is sweet

    Prototype is easy, mass production is hard.
    Rivian is almost banckrupt. They need a lot of money to put R2 and R3 in the market at a decent price. I gave them max 10% to succeed this

    Great design though

  15. @DannyFyffe

    March 8, 2024 at 8:45 am

    It’s funny you think Rivian will be around in 2 years.

  16. @lloydthemagnificent2541

    The R3 looks like an old VW Rabbit with a Rivian front-end to me.

  17. @well-well-well-whathavewehere

    March 8, 2024 at 2:14 pm

    That R3 reminds me ol old Dodge Omni, I can’t unsee it.
