Rivians are now no more expensive than any other high er end pickup truck or SUV at similar trim level. Just try buying any sort of high horsepower pickup loaded with luxury features. $90k to start.

It is possible when R2 w-Lidar is released they also sell a kit to upgrade existing R2s. for mucho dollars.

This is going to be an EU-bound car that needs to conform to EU regulations. Some design sacrifices had to be made from the show cars. Sad but true.

The reality is that this BMW is going to be a $80k vehicle out the door. Finding one not loaded up with typicaL loaded options will be difficult.

Pretty expensive Pit Manuever vehicle but a Rivian would definitely be up to the challenge if Rivian removed the top speed limiter. Those Hellcat Charger boys running would be in for a real suprise trying to outrun a pusher equipped Rivian Quad.

3 products immediately come to mind. 1. A upscale mountain electric bicycle. 2. A stylish urban scooter like the one Honda just enveiled. 3. An electric cart for low speed road use. Florida is crawling with these in many communities.

More states are tacking on new fees to EV charging. And this administration seems intent on not simply “treating gas and EV drivers as equals” but by actually punishing EV drivers for their choice both in real economic terms by extra Federal and state fees but in a stream of anti-EV rhetoric as...

I keep saying it, keep getting batted down, but here goes again. plain and simple. Rivian needs to switch to a Dealer model. whether it is home grown or partnering with an established brand Rivian needs to admit defeat in the go-it-alone approach and partner up or sell franchise dealerships...

Rear subframe appears to be giga-cast. I wonder what contractor has a gigapress that can crank those out?

https://www.renault.co.uk/electric-vehicles/r5-turbo-3e.html i would consider this Renault a competitor to the Rivian R3X, but a direct competitor. The main difference is price with rumors flying that it is going to be €140,000. What do you get for that kind of money? 2 motor Rear drive for...

Not complaining too hard, but there already is a Tesla and EA chargers in Chipley while a huge area of the region is vastly underserved, especially in lower Georgia and Alabama. There are a number of towns in these areas midway between Pensacola and Atlanta that desperately need ANY rapid...

When Monday drops. You are not dealing with a Meritocracy. You are dealing with a Populist hybrid regime.

Rivian better start playing the political game and quickly issue public statement they will hire specifically American and perhaps even Georgia job talent in management engineering and design- the higher paying jobs at any cororpation. They need to get ahead of any political games and Elon. This...

conflict of interest? It‘s literally a job requirement in the upcoming administration.
