LOL - Jokes, hardly SUVs. They are glorified station wagons.. My car has better ground clearance.
Outback? TINY. Rav4? Same. They are intro to SUVs, and hardly even able to call them that.
They are toys compared to a Jeep. No way my wife could haul her quilting friends and all of their stuff in either one of those. She needs the HEIGHT of a Jeep.
Those are station wagons (and even licensed/registered as such here)
Well she would probably love a Honda odyssey or Toyota sienna if she needs lots of room or even a toyota land cruiser hybrid if she wants a 4x4. Plenty of options out there. Rivian has an suv. If you are both retired on a fixed income it might make sense to get something sensible like a rav 4 hybrid or crv. Great reliable crossovers with some ground clearance and can be had with awd.

People never believe it .... then they drive one and they're sold. I've noticed the only people who hate EVs are those who have never driven one.
Ive noticed that SOME EV owners like to lump everyone together that do not own or show interest in what they are interested in. I hope you guys dont do that with other demographics of people.

You haven't explained why we'd be "better suited" with something else.
Why? How?

Rivians are ugly as heck. Can't stand the front end. Until they put some style into them aside from a box with rounded corners and the horrible headlight look.
If I got past the ugly bit - how would a Rivian be better? Better suited? How?

Why would I be better off with a Taco? How?

When I was still working and parked my SX4 in the lot with all of the SUVs in the lot - I could look out the window and see under my car - but not under most of the so-called SUVs out there.
You are talking stuff we have no interest in, and that sit low, and need to have the road plowed for them to get through. Honda Odyssey, Toyota Sienna? LOL - a minivan that has less ground clearance than anything I've ever owned short of my 73?
Right. I'd have to use my Jeep to tow it up our driveway in the winter.
I'd not let my wife take off from home in the winter with those things.
They'd be hung up before leaving the driveway. They are ground hugging minivans, not suitable for our winters here.

We're done with low-riders. Heck, it's a pain getting into and out of my Javelin these days. My wife doesn't want anything that sits low. I hated getting out of the Grand Cherokee - felt like climbing out of a tub, then standing up after getting up and over the edge.

We're done with things that drag their belly on the snow, get stuck in our driveway, or you have to climb up and out of, or let yourself down into.

We own what's best suited for us - and our tastes.

Check that guys grill He got Teef ??
I don't get why YT people think we want to look at them making faces in their video trailers or images. Looks like someone pee'd in his cereal, grumpy face.

Try plugging it in?
Heck, no need to if you don't want to. But after watching them trying to explain the bits about a 4xe in an earlier video, he probably doesn't know that to this day.

This. The amount of crap info from those guys is honestly kind of impressive. They are a very "seat of the pants" operation that accidentally became a business.
Thank you Sweet... If it's on the Internet IT Could BE B$hit. Dude .. TtheFL Site your sources ..
