I'm not the poster you're referring to but we have a Rivian and it's great! I think it's a little over-engineered in the way most tech-bro things are, but it drives like a dream, has a ton of storage, handles beautifully in the rain and snow, and off roads like a champ. Overall they have great customer service and they're not owned by a megalomaniac man baby.

> No backpacks allowed?

There's a small record store chain in Seattle and surrounding suburbs (Silver Platters, for anyone who's lived here) that I irrationally hold such a grudge against, I'll never go back. Before light rail construction took it out, they had a store near where I live in north Seattle and walking distance from a large regional transit center.

One day, shortly after moving, I walked over after getting off the bus because who doesn't like a good record store? Obviously, I had my backpack with me. The door was open, I strolled in.

Not thirty seconds later, an employee was behind me absolutely livid pissed that I had come in with my backpack. "Didn't you see the [expletive] sign?!" No, what sign. "The one on the door, you idiot!"

So I walked back over to look and it was on the other side of the open door, not visible. He ordered me to take my backpack to my car. When I told him I don't have a car (a true statement then and now), he told me to GTFO or he'd call the cops.

I've never been back and simply won't go into a place that has a "no backpacks" sign on the door. For places within a half mile of transit, I will call and tell them why they've lost my business. A few have even taken down the signs.

Of course if you only look at a sub dedicated to post things about him you gonna think think something like this, it's called selection bias. Dude does a lot of shitty things that end up in the news and the fact that he conned a lot of people into thinking he was the real world version of Tony Stark and more and more people are realizing they fell for his scam explains a lot more the influx of people hating on him now. And even with that being said I don't think people lose any sleep over him tbh.

That's why there are tons of people that hate him and post about and not for example Amancio Ortega.
