Completely nuts, indeed! Politicians suck.

Page 139 of the S1:

Only eight states prohibit us, as a manufacturer, from directly or indirectly owning or operating a service center providing warranty service. Those states are Alabama, Louisiana, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and West Virginia.
I wonder what Tesla does in those states?

I was excited to see (in the Roadshow video at 22:17) a nod to Arkansas, albeit as only a blip on the FleetOS sales job.
Like all the more-rural participants here it stinks knowing we're low on the totem pole, but it is exciting to see these trucks becoming tangible for some.
I look forward to visiting the Venice facility next month, and I am ready for my R1S!

I’m intrigued by service center dots in states that rivian has said they can’t operate in. do they have a workaround?
I was intrigued as well. There definitely appeared to be dot in central Pennsylvania. According to their S1, they currently can’t operate in my state at all.

Tesla opened a sales and service center on Native American land in New Mexico.
This is the way. Casinos and EVs go great together!!

TBH its nothing we didn't know or haven't seen already, just a beautiful rehash of everything known lol (at least me).
You sure? The RAN map at 10:30 is revised. it'll take me some time to provide a comparison without downloading anything though. ?

@DuckTruck you should check it out, you may find some interesting changes to us specifically. ?

Other oddities:
A lot of service centers doubled up in the same metro areas.

Nothing in Colorado?

Apparently there is a service center planned in what looks to be the Puget Sound and on the Olympic peninsula, but not in Bellevue. ?

Nice catch. They added one in the middle of WI that will be perfect for me.

Hope they can start rolling them out sooner rather than waiting for the end of 2023.

The map shows 2 in Colorado. Denver, which is already being built, and the second looks like C. Springs.

Super encouraging video to watch. Rivian has gobs of brilliant people led by a prophetic founder/CEO. The business model is way more fleshed-out ahead of IPO than Tesla a dozen years ago. The market and big-money will chase it hard not only for the hardware (vehicles/charging) revenue stream but will see it equally enticing as a "cloud business" focused on big-data and its centralized information services.

Do wish they would cutback on the repetitive buzz-terms like "Ecosystem, scalable, unbundled etc."

Weird, must have been hidden behind the play symbol when hit pause.
