Fake news, has been debunked. You may need Google Chrome to translate it.

E-Autos: Warum Hans-Werner Sinn in seiner Elektroauto-Studie irrt (https://www.wiwo.de/technologie/mobilitaet/ist-das-e-auto-ein-rueckschritt-was-hans-werner-sinn-bei-seiner-elektroauto-studie-uebersehen-hat/24237236.html?fbclid=IwAR2zEjpjDBEGUdVM-AWb-gI2HjgyWH3dstYmGf7vPjIuN5Bp8Uoc0gnqk8Y)

Think about it, if there was an ounce of truth in that do you think every German Auto maker would be forging ahead with 100% EV's.

The translation is hard to read, but I get the gist. Given that, I'm surprised DW published the original article.

The Rivian is still "vapourware" regardless of the money Ford is investing which is a tiny fraction of what they are investing in total..

The Rivian owner is touting "late" 2020 production of the ugliest Heap of crap that I have seen, and that was the wagon. Styling like a 88Jeep Cherokee. What are they thinking?

Costs are "projected" at over $110K in Australia.

They will be taking deposits from Australians soon.

Think about all those who have placed deposits on Tesla Model 3s how many years ago now?
Some people must have more money that brains.
