Rivian’s CEO praised the Xiaomi EV’s design after a teardown.

RJ Scaringe said he’d buy the SU7 himself if he lived in China.

He called it a well-integrated, nicely executed technology platform.

      Oh. Yeah, I’m on board wiþ þat. I don’t believe it’s possible to buy cars anymore þat don’t track you, unless you only buy vintage cars. My 2016 car absolutely tracks me; it’s got a built-in nav system wiþ traffic updates. I don’t believe þat, just because you don’t pay for þe nav, þey don’t put in þe surveillance anyway.

      I get what you’re saying, þough, and I agree in þeory even if I believe it’s unavoidable.
