I have always been befuddled as to why Rivian, a company that won’t be profitable for years and will lose billions annually until then, decided that it would be a good idea to put 1% of equity into the Forever fund. Now, don’t get me wrong. I believe in the philanthropic mission of the fund...

Last December, Audi and Wheel of Fortune was trending on Twitter. A contestant in the bonus round completed the puzzle, but didn’t get the prize because of a pause she made saying the phrase. According to the rules, she didn’t win the Audi on a technicality. There was a huge backlash by Wheel...

Yes, I watch the Super Bowl for the commercials. The Kia EV6 commercial is my favorite. Second place goes to BMW.

I thought it would be fun to create a poll to get everyone’s thoughts on how many cars they think Rivian will be delivered before the next earnings call. My guess is between 751-1000. I think that omicron had a big impact to production. The good news is that covid cases are substantially down...

The NYT writer that was asking for information from forum members has written his article about Rivian. He mentions two pre-order holders he talked to, but I don’t know if they are members here. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/09/business/rivian-stock-electric-cars.html

I like gear guard, but I like the idea of catching people damaging or breaking into your vehicle in real time even better. https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/01/18/ford-just-launched-a-start-up-thats-significant/

For those of y‘all who are already EV owners, do y’all have any EV charging horror stories(ICE cars parked at charging station, EV fully charged but still parked at charger, chargers not working and have to move car multiple times to find working charger) If so, please share. I will be a first...

BMW debuted E ink technology at CES 2022, which allows you to change the paint color of the car. I currently have my R1S configured with silver, but I still go back and forth between silver, El Cap, forest green, and launch green. Wouldn't it be nice if we didn’t have to choose one color and...

This video is not in English, but I don’t think we need to understand what they are saying. This 2013 Model S owner decided to blow up his car when he found out that the cost to repair it was $22k. If I had to spend $22k to repair my R1S after 8 years, I would not be a happy camper. Of...

Joe Manchin went on Fox this morning to announce he is a no to the Build Back Better bill. Therefore, no change to the existing $7,500 EV tax credit. https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/586450-manchin-says-he-will-not-vote-for-build-back-better-this-is-a-no

Has anyone heard if there will be test drives for the R1S? I am hoping there will be a Second Mile event announced for the R1S s00n, but I have a feeling that the R1S may be delayed since they haven’t been seen testing in the wild. The most recent R1S pic I could find was at the Rivian...

This new EV start-up premiered their two EV SUVs at the LA Auto show. The company is from Vietnam. The exterior looks really nice and the e36 looks like it would compete directly with the R1S In terms of size...

Interesting timing. I wanted to share this for those who will be participating in the DSP. What really grabbed my attention is the allegation of. “Rivian‘s misleading public statements and flawed business practices”. I guess we are lucky that this came out before the IPO, which would surely...

I have a panic button on my Toyota key fob. I use it in the rare instance when I have “lost” my car in a parking lot. It really does help me find my car. I also like the security of knowing that I can hit the button if I am walking to my car alone at night. I am curious as to why the Rivian...

I am so exited for William Shatner and will be watching his flight to “space”. Hopefully, we get to see a few Rivians like we did when Bezos went up a few months ago. https://www.blueorigin.com/news/new-shepard-ns-18-mission-updates

The proposed changes are: 1. Limiting the $7,500 tax credit to EVs with retail prices below $80k. 2. Eliminating the phase out for total EVs sold. 3. An additional $2,500 tax credit for EVs assembled in U.S. 4. An additional $2,500 tax credit for EVs assembled by union...

Does anyone think that Rivian will have a referral program like Tesla to get free charging?
