Really nice vehicles and designs other than this. Makes me think of Japanese anime when I see it.

I know which would be more useful.

Of course he did. He went from being a Covidian now back to a "moderate" the supports every authoritarian move the current administration makes. Dude has literally been wrong about every single political stance he has made, yet he is still a smug a-hole.

Taxpayers will probably sink Rivian because their/our money was used as another multi-billion dollar handout.

Nah. You full throatedly supported every lockdown and shut down while it was happening and called anyone who disagreed a faux news viewer or some other smug shite.

You have been wrong on every political stance you have made on this board.

Approximately $2.8 billion….less than half of Rivian’s potential loan.

The RIvian loan ties their hand because it forced them to hire union workers at inflated salaries. This car company is DOA unfortunately.

The DOE actually has a decent track record on these loans for hitting their portfolio returns. They require a tag along co investment usually and are first seat for recapture in an insolvency event. The hate and blown out of proportion risk on these is usually misunderstood and politicized.

For anyone who hates doe subsidies in general, I hope you don’t have an ecoboost in the driveway.

So get behind the billionaire who used tax dollars to buy twitter and ban anyone who criticizes him? Makes sense.
