Lol, ah Frontier. I have friends in the valley who used to work for them, great horror stories. What is the name of this kittitas WISP? I have long since moved out of the valley, but can pass this on to my family who still deal with horrendous providers.

Are WISPs really a viable broadband option? The pricing vs data caps that you get are pretty ridiculous, especially for rural customers

And yes I do know people who have had problems in these counties. I also had an absolutely miserable experience using Charter due to their poor infrastructure in the valley. Internet on nights, weekends, holidays, etc. was unusable due to their high utilization of low bandwidth lines

Rural Washington is a great test market, there are entire counties with only a single viable provider (Kittitas). Or counties in which there are NO viable broadband providers (Okanagan)

Go look at the Ghibli, it has the exact same body lines, windows, lights

Yeah I agree, different than big money status. It's like sexy-i-financed-this status.

The type of status that this truck is trying to market to is like the `I paid 1.5 million cash for this crazy pentagon` status.

Are you really equating the styling of this pentagon-on-wheels with a lifted truck? This is bosozoku levels of crazy. And that sure isn't common.

The Rivian has 4 motors by the way...

Ah, I don't know. The Model S had a much wider market appeal because it looks exactly like a Maserati. A commonly agreed upon good looking car. I agree that you're probably the exact market this monstrosity is aimed for. But that 'status' based market is tiny. teensy, itty bitty. Why do you think the Model 3 was such a profitable success?

The fact that you hate modern truck design means you are not representative of 99% of truck buyers. Have you noticed the Honda Ridgeline has completely fell in line with other manufactures styling because of I presume market pressure?

I love the idea of a perfect meme vehicle. Almost bosozoku like. But I'm guessing it won't do well in the market

Can I ask where you are located, or what kind of truck owners you know? I can't see anyone, like 0% of the rural owners I know, thinking this truck looks good. It's crazy, I would be embarrassed to be seen in it.

There are other electrified truck companies bringing up their models. Maybe even faster than Tesla can get this thing out. Ford is already testing their electrified F150's. Current owners will just buy their same brand when it becomes electrified.

I feel like I am taking crazy pills with the amount of good sentiment to this design. This thing is absolutely fugly. The guys over at Rivian must be having a party right now.
