This just proves the future is electric and the companies that are EV from the ground up have the advantage. They don't have the old ICE car mindset.

I had my Google Gemini assistant apologize to me. I asked it for locations of Ionna chargers within 100 mi of my location and it told me there weren't any. I informed it of known locations in Cambridge and Columbus Ohio. He thought about it for a minute and said I'm sorry you are correct I apologize. Hilarious.

R2 is definitely near the top of my list of replacements once I graduate from my Silverado 3.0 Duramax, and decide to part with some more coin. Been a Rivian fanboy since they first made their public appearance. Appreciate the comparison. This shareholder is satisfied with the organization!
