Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe exclusively told The Drive that no collision repair should cost tens of thousands of dollars — and explained why it's happened.

      technically, it’s an accelerator, but I’ve taken to calling it the “go pedal”

        “Go pedal” was Tesla’s thing, it was part of their branding.

          Well, fuck; now it’s ruined…

          How about “Vroom” and “Skrrch”?

        According to an old video by Doug Demuro, an early Volkswagen EV had the “play” and “stop” buttons on the accelerator and brake pedals, respectively.

      I refuse to call it a “go pedal” like Tesla tried to create, lol. I guess it’s like “footage” for film, or “rewind.”

      Maybe we can call it an accelerator?
