The most eye-stealing highlight is the Flash Charging technology, which works in conjunction with the latest Blade Battery 2.0.

– Charging from 10% to 70% takes only 5 minutes.
– To charge to 97%, it only takes 9 minutes.
– Even in temperatures as low as -30°C, it can still be fast-charged in 12 minutes.

I was going to buy one of the new rivians for about 45k, not sure if they released prices yet. My husband has one of the more expensive Rivians and they're really cool. That being said, byd is cool too and even with import fees it looks doable. Gotta think about it.

Yeah it was an investment for sure.

Cars are a bad investment, even if it saves you a bit of money on gas. Depreciation will hit that Rivian like Tesla FSD hits a brick wall.
