I have a hard time time believing they can't create another LLC to oversee merchandising without spoiling the rest of their tax status.
Also, the initial statement that selling anything at all will change their tax status confuses me. Its not like they're changing from nonprofit to profit. Its...
So an employee just took out a prototype on his vacation? That doesn't make any sense. Hopefully the charging problem was on the charger side and not the R1T side.
I've seen some speculation in other posts about the door handles always sticking out.
I recall the interview with Emma Hall with her stating there was an issue with dirt affecting their ability to open, but I felt as if it was the general consensus on this forum was that the door handles were...
I've been keeping an eye in this space for some time too. I too was disappointed when rivian removed the Lidar, first because I was concerned that it signaled defeat in their autonomous driving program, and secondly because we didn't see a commensurate decrease in price.
Those 2 comments aside...
I agree with most of this. I've planned on buying a rivian for the last 18 months, but I didn't pre order until after the Amazon investment. For me that gave me confidence that this company would survive.
I'm generally strongly against leasing. I've never done it in the past, and I've never...
I work at a fire department. Probably a peasant compared to most of the ppl on these boards ?, but we have the right-rear facing cameras on all of our apparatus and ambulances. There's some times thats its been pretty helpful. Its certainly not a need, but id like to have it, or at least the...
Adding to the list: it would be nice if there was an infotainment feature that would display the relevant camera view when you activate the turn signal.
Thought I'd create a thread focused on the Software and app features that we would like to see on Rivian. If there is already a thread on this I apologize.
Prior to becoming a Rivian preorder I was pretty close to buying a Tesla model 3. The features I was really impressed with were the...
My understanding is the current feature just goes from opaque to clear. Previously, the planned electro-chromatic option could go from varying shades of a blueish tint. If the feature rivian is talking about now is what I'm familiar with, when the feature is activated the glass turns a foggy...
Do you think the blue would be bad in texas summers?
I live in north texas and I was thinking about getting the blue. The thing that concerned me was the panoramic roof.
I have a grand cherokee now, with the larger sun roof, black interior and black exterior.. it gets really hot and ill...
And this is a surprise to them? They were the ones that were in "stealth mode" for 10 years, making "millions of decisions behind the scenes" to get this right. Rivian was the one that claimed their show model was production intent, and they were the ones that had all the time to get their...
I didnt qualify my question with either S or T, so I'd imagine this is a universal response. Im really bummed about this. It was one of my favorite features.
