Cybertruck only $68,890!

Seeing a ton here as well. Helps that they are actually kind of decent looking, especially compared to the cyber truck

I was stunned when I saw the Rivian’s fascia for the first time. It reminded me of the face of the robot maid in the Jetsons!

I keep thinking of Woody Allen's movie Sleeper when I see the front of a Rivian but the Rivian looks like it was designed by Pininfarina compared to the 3yo that designed the Cybertruck.

If the cannonball run is cross-country, it will be years-lots of them-before there are enough chargers throughout the country to support electric vehicles

By definition, a cannonball run is cross-country. I don't really understand what you mean by " it will be years-lots of them-before..." but I assume you mean that as of today there are not enough chargers to support a cross country trip in an EV which is wrong, people have been doing them for years now, even with Nissan Leafs (US and Canada if the cold scares you) which have a very limited range.

At first I didn't like the Rivian front at all, but seeing them around it's grown on me a bit. Rivian has headquarters where my son goes to university, and so they are getting more common around the area.

Haha. Yeah I think the Rivian is a good looking vehicle from every angle EXCEPT for looking at it straight on. The fascia is just....different

I will believe it when it happens.

Teslas have been doing the cannonball run since 2014. There's enough chargers to drive cross country in any direction. You could have easily looked up this info yourself, but chose to talk out of your ass instead.

I will believe they can compete in the cannonball run when they actually do.

Compete or be competitive? I have no doubt they could compete but maybe not win against gas vehicles (I don't follow the race, so even there I may be wrong). My coworker just drove from southern Florida to Yellowstone, down to Texas and back in his Tesla, something he wasn't hot to do (his wife insisted). Said they had no problems. They even installed chargers at my Ford dealership the other day. You may not like electric vehicles (which is cool), but they get around just fine.

Nobody is blinder than the person who decides he does not want to see.
You choose to simply ignore searching for "Tesla Cannonball Run" and watch innumerable videos of people doing it...

Are they allowed to use the suicide drive (aka sleep mode aka "autopilot")?

Intresting: "According to a report from Americans for Tax Reform (ATR), under the IRA, roughly $280 billion in savings from Medicare's prescription drug provisions went to fund green energy programs and tax credits. These provisions included a $7,500 tax credit for luxury EVs, a $4,000 credit for pre-owned EVs, and an annual $1,200 credit for "energy-efficient" doors and windows, among others."
