@GottaLaff Not even close to enough. To run an electric car factory, you need $56 billion to keep a CEO interested and $44 billion to buy & nazify a social media website for press releases. That's a full 100 bills, not 5.

@GottaLaff They really need the cash, and VW needs some Silicon Valley based software. Double win.

A good investment. The Nature Conservancy tested a Rivian at the Tallgrass Prairie. It did well under very difficult field conditions.
