If they weren't all $70k+ and the ugliest things on the road, maybe they'd do better.

Rivians and lightning are doing just fine. If had nothing to do with being 70k. Those cars and trucks are straight up middle class buys that are popular.

I wouldn't say lightning are doing fine.

They cut an entire shift with rolling layoffs (1 shift is laid off at a time and it cycles through all shifts) and inventory is building.

There trying to respond to the problem to equal it out, but fine isn't the word I'd use.
