  1. Official: Rivian IPO priced at $78 per share (@ $77 billion valuation)!

    I hope people don't try to play games with this. You are either in or you aren't. If it tanks then you "bought" at $78.00 despite not being funded on the date of the IPO. I suspect most of us don't have the deep pockets to go toe to toe w/ MS or another big firm - especially if we're not...
  2. Official: Rivian IPO priced at $78 per share (@ $77 billion valuation)!

    I'm hoping my ACH xfer goes through, and if I don't see it process on my bank side within a couple days the document said they need payment within 4 business days of November 15th. Plenty of time to initiate a wire if the ACH $hit the bed for some reason. While I'd love to see a nice pop...
  3. Edit: Rivian IPO up on SoFi and ETrade

    I don't specifically disagree, and the targeted market cap is definitely down from the original $80B that was being floated, but in this world of meme coins worth tens of billions (each!) and SaaS valuations (both public & private) that are at all time highs it's hard to think that traditional...
  4. Edit: Rivian IPO up on SoFi and ETrade

    Probably worth mentioning that the article I read saw had the following from the S-1: "We currently anticipate that up to 0.5% of the shares of Class A common stock offered hereby will, at our request, be offered to retail investors through SoFi Securities LLC via its online brokerage platform...
  5. DSP (Directed Share Program) to purchase Rivian IPO shares - now live via web portal

    So depending on the allocation can we potentially double dip between SoFi and the Direct Registration?
  6. EV tax credit increase to $12,500 in Biden's latest proposal as of 10/28

    I largely agree with the last posts and that of dfx. I’d conditioned myself to thinking I’d get some sort of tax credit, but ultimately it’s not a driver for the decision to buy the R1S over something else that didn’t have a credit. I want the R1S, full stop, end of story. IMO, even at the...
  7. Quasi Rivian Investing Related

    Thought I'd take the liberty of sharing a great book that could be timely, especially with all the TSLA comparisons I'm read about. The book is called "How to Think About Money", and beyond the basics that many people know about it really gets into the relationship we have with our money. If...
  8. Official Rivian Stories: A Space To Gather - First Hub Opens @ Venice, CA

    Was glad to get the invite from Rivian - I'm hoping that means OC (I'm near Irvine) should be in the sphere for our R1S LE.
  9. Rivian Improvements Over Your Current Vehicle?

    Even though my daughters are just graduating out of Indian Princesses I’m super excited about camping with them in the R1S. Loads of power (whether driving or parked), ability to do legit off-roading vs my XC90 with 21ā€ all season tires, and super comfy for the kids in case inclement weather...
  10. On board maps with no cell coverage? Are they stored somewhere in the system?

    I know Volvo let’s you download various regions/maps for this exact reason, so I’d be shocked if Rivian didn’t allow for the same. Great question but I’m not worried that they’ll miss this.
  11. Lack of Android Auto / Waze is a reason to cancel

    That’s news to me, but I haven’t been on Swedespeed in ages and was going off the YouTube reviews. Our 2020 XC90 with Sensus and CarPlay has been rock solid and a massive upgrade from 2018 with the same system but slower hardware.
  12. Lack of Android Auto / Waze is a reason to cancel

    It’ll be interesting to compare the Rivian UI/UX with Polestar in the coming quarters and years. Polestar went all-in on Android Automotive as their system (think CarPlay was coming too) and I don’t recall seeing one review of the Polestar 2 where people weren’t incredibly impressed with it...
  13. “Production Hell”…I’m a big fan of Tailosive EV’s YT channel

    Haven't been on the forum much in the past 24 hours so didn't see the thread where these issues were covered, but I absolutely agree that a Rivian forum, this or others, could be catalyst for covering the issues. I'm not familiar with production line processes in the least, but I would have...
  14. “Production Hell”…I’m a big fan of Tailosive EV’s YT channel

    That’s about right. I started following him when searching for more Cybertruck content over past year+. Leans heavily Tesla, but does cover other stuff too, and generally in a pretty fair manner IMO. Based on the pic I can’t really call him nitpicky, but seems to be an element of apologizing...
  15. “Production Hell”…I’m a big fan of Tailosive EV’s YT channel

    …but I was a bit bummed to see how hard he was on Rivian in this one. I will admit the potential issues he circled with fit and finish (especially on the rear lower and hood area) are a bit disconcerting. Hope it was just a photo perspective issue…
  16. First Mile Event National Tour (live Rivian experience) announced!

    Waaaaaah indeed. I’m about 5 miles from HQ and was hoping we’d be in the sphere. April ā€˜19 LE R1S reservation fwiw.
  17. Poll of currently configured wheel options

    So I went ahead and changed to the 20's for a few of the reasons posted here and one that wasn't. When it comes down to it I like having the optionality *if* we decide we want to push it offroad. The look is great, and like others have said, I won't come close to pushing it when it comes to...
  18. Poll of currently configured wheel options

    Having never owned a truck and living in the SoCal suburbs I doubt I need the ATs. I’ll hit Big Bear/Mammoth/etc from time to time in the winter, and some light off roading other times of the year, but my gut tells me it’s not worth going AT with that level of infrequent snow or trail driving...
  19. Did you place a reservation for the F-150 Lightning?

    This is basically me and my rationale, but hedging the Cybertruck as I’m confident in our LE R1S that will eventually be my wife’s DD (after the Cybertruck arrival). With our endless power outages in SoCal these days the Vehicle to Home electricity was super intriguing too.
