I don't remember them deciding against it because of cost, I remember the orange because Jackson picked it and at one point heard there was a down payment. Also, I thought they were set for life
That's how I remember it. First they said they ordered the Rivian, they picked orange because of J$. Then we saw the Rivian house visit, where the saboteur Rivian sales person wouldn't allow them to film the test drive. From there any time someone asked about the Rivian, Tim said no news. At one point he was begging anyone who knew anyone at Rivian who could hook him up to reach out to him. Then the last live when asked if they had ordered the Rivian, Tim's reply was "Not yet". I do not recall them elaborating any more beyond that.
And you are correct. A couple that is "set for life" should not even be blinking at the prospect of spending $80,000 on their third car for a family with only 1 driver.
Someone in that post said they work on AMI and have seen a bunch there. That's not me, but I see them all the time now. I know I just notice them more because of Tim and Jenn and I laugh a little thinking, that guy has a Rivian and Tim does not. Saboteur!!!
