I thought it was frictional? But I guess 80% of the Witcher is based on existing mythology or places, there are several Novigrads (meaning 'New City') in Croatia for example.
After being renamed as Avera Automotive[15] or Avera Motors, and finally Rivian Automotive in 2011 (a word play on the Indian River in Florida, where Scaringe grew up),[16] the company began focusing on autonomous and electric vehicles.[17]
rivian is a up and coming startup, whose largest push was when they got the contract from amazon to design their EV delivery trucks. so within the next couple of years their portfolio and options will increase, and become cheaper.
They have a truck and SUV. The truck is kinda neat because it has a compartment at the front of the bed that can mount pullout accessories like a kitchenette for use while camping.
They're actually a bit cheaper at around $80k-$90k which is a lot of money no doubt, but not out of line for other trucks that also won't be used for 'real truck stuff' like 90% of truck owners.
Nobody is taking a 90k luxury truck camping- sorry. The interior would be ruined after a single fishing trip, nevermind actually going off onto dirt roads (or no-roads,)
These are being sold to city-dwellers that want to convince people they’re not city dwellers. (Same as the trucks you mentioned.)
