The RFK dig in the setup was pretty good

He for sure is the likeliest presidential candidate to drive a Rivian.
Obviously that short article is a huge clickbait and engagement getter. Everyone has a point of view on Idiot drivers.
My wife says Mercedes drivers (she drove one for a few years ;-)
To me its most pimped up vehicles... but aren't we all guilty of that a bit?

Clearly, idiocy is in the eye of the beholder. Though I haven't seen any Rivian drivers in my area acting like idiots!

RFK would probably drive a car modified to run on his own farts because he thinks gas fumes and EV electromagnetic radiation will give him a brain tumor.

Well I am not sure if this is true everywhere but in the PNW it is any white Tesla - this car is bound to be going under the speed limit in the left lane, randomly stop, fail to accelerate on an onramp, and just generally be confused. In BC they will also be abandoned on the roadside when there is the slightest snow. The black ones seem less likely to be a plague, but maybe I haven't noticed.

Jeeps with missing parts - not sure what the point of these are, but most people driving them seem like yahoos.

Sprinters - I don't think I need to explain how insufferable #vanlife people can be (one of my favorite comments from someone I know who lives in his van was "you know when you live in a van at 25 and are climbing, hiking and skiing all the time you seem cool, at 40 you seem like a creep") this is combined with the idea that you spent 120++++k for a cargo van.

Roll Coal Outfitted - ok so I get you have politics and a POV, but really?

Mini Vans - Pretty much guaranteed to kill someone on a motorcycle or bike over enough time.

WRX and the variations - I have often assumed they are so in love with the turbo sounds because they cannot buy cars with a real engine or don't know they exist or would rather bolt s**t on them with their money instead of buying a car with a real engine.

idiots come in all shapes and sizes

 

[Cycliste]

Uh, oh. Sometimes I can’t help being an idiot.

I didn’t notice the "exclusively" in the slug. Idiot

 

[seatosummit]

Dodge Charger.

Anything with a coffee can exhaust.

Just read the article… E90 BMW? Really?!? Sure, at one point in time people mocked the Bangle design, but look at how ugly the cars are now! Big ass grille, no angel eyes, the list goes on and on… and yes, I’m an E90 BMW owner.

The author doesn't understand he's a bigger douche bag than the people he's complaining about.

My answer (which isn't "Rivian") would get my reply deleted for being "overly political," sorry.
