@mgc0216, allow someone else like me to disagree.
PS: I never said "you" said anything.
I don't have to assert my background in dealing with DEVs.
All I'm saying is that I think it is too long. It is my opinion, and no matter what you say, it will not change. I think and feel that it should be...
I humbly disagree, and I maintain that it is not acceptable in these days and times for such a fix to take so long.
Whether you are a senior dev or design complex IT systems for a financial institute, it should not take couple of weeks, period.
Now to your point, this is a good discussion...
Enough !!! Be nice, so stop quoting.
My industry says banking, but it doesnt mean that I don't know what is going on in the world of IT.
So please back off, and stop attacking me directly.
I have an issue with RIVIAN, and I will hold to that opinion.
IT SHOULD NOT TAKE THEM THIS LONG...
No need to call me clueless without knowing my background
I didn't call you or define your personality.
Let's try to be nice, and agree to disagree.
I do not agree and will not apologize for my opinion that these are antiquated IT methods.
I don't need to explain here to you that what is...
Sorry, let's agree to disagree here :)
For a publicty traded company, such changes should have been simple and easy.
If it is not, they need to rethink their IT strategy.
This is just NOT acceptable in today's world of IT.
Yes, very true, but this isn't and shouldn't be a complex change for Rivian.
And if it is, then their IT hasn't setup right processes.
If you review ITIL standards, such rollbacks should be standardized part of any new features. That is, if you're going to make a change, you must have a way to...
So I find is extremely hard to believe that it is taking them weeks to fix that. Its an extremely simple roll back using snapshots or backups. The only complexity is to live with new configurator and allow the pre-orders to co-exist with that.
But still, an executive decree from CEO should be...
Letter from Tony Caravano, last night is interesting, especially this pasrt.
At the very least they have gone from the word "Soon" to "Several Weeks".
Thank you Rivian !!
We can now all stop checking the configurator daily :)
I was gonna say that. I have friends here in Seattle who work for Amazon, and that sounds like your management team must have come from Amazon.
I believe they call them "Weasel Words" ....
Quick Question for anyone who knows.
Is the $80K limit on the Build or does it include Adventure gear acessories, like Camp Kitchen, Wall Charger, Cross Bar, All Weather Mats? Etc Etc/
I thought I'd share this, as I've had many philosophical debates on this word throughout my career and had a few interesting chats with Rivian CS as well.
You just cannot pin them down. Very scripted responses for anything on timeline. It all comes back to "Soon".
If there was an audio review...
That's a heck a lot of trucks ready. 700 plus. Are they waiting on chips?
C'mon Rivian, start calling and start delivering...
PS:.. Gotta love this :) ...
I have zero intent to resell. If I actually do get this truck, I intend to keep it, as I usually keep my cars long term. I would sell the used Tesla I bought for our household a few days ago as a stop gap measure, but I always purchased the Tesla with the intent that I will have an EV now, and...
When it happened, and their was an investor backlash, he did apologize publicly:
