    Carbuzz: Rivian's Mobile Service R1T Is Prepared For Just About Anything

    pretty fluffy piece; my Rivian mobile service was via panel van that did not even have extra fasteners to complete the repair. It also makes it sound like getting a service appointment is a matter of hours not weeks Rivian's Mobile Service R1T Is Prepared For Just About Anything

    A little surprised with all the Shop inventory...

    I was invited a couple weeks ago and keep checking inventory and it is overflowing with trucks (>30), especially if you like white. I wonder if this is a good sign (yippie production is at full tilt) or a bad sign (these are orphans)?
