Over 200 comments and nobody has mentioned privacy. Read the Rivian privacy policy, it's downright scary. They track and record everything: location, acceleration/braking, charging, etc., and they explicitly state that they will "share" all the personal information with 3d party advertisers. I don't know how anyone gets on board with this stuff. I would be in line for one of these (or any electric vehicle) but every company seems to do it nowadays, with no option for opting out.

probably because nobody read it. It should be illegal to share personal data with 3rd parties without EXPLICIT permission for each sharing instance. In order to share your x-ray/medical scans/information it must be done on a case by case basis. This should be required for all personal information
