While I do believe the damage to Musk's image over the last few years is well deserved, I can't help but roll my eyes at these lawsuits. Does Tesla play fast and loose with marketing? Yes. Should they have avoided effectively pre-selling a feature without a release date? Yes. Could any person...

Just roll it down and back up again ;)

I have a significant number of shares, didn't even know earnings release was today, because it's irrelevant. All that matters is R2. If they can achieve positive gross margins on R2 company future is bright. Stock might not reflect that until current pessimism on EVs wanes, which it will as...

"No one needs a truck in LA" hard disagree

Yea I must have reserved it a few minutes after the reserve button went live, no special treatment, no email, and getting skipped on line by anyone that accepts these color choices. Rivian's customer relations occasionally makes these unforced errors. These are your best customer. I guess...

I know they are popular with a particular group here, but EREVs serve a narrow audience and aren't worth the additional cost for most buyers and the additional manufacturing and service complexity certainly isn't worth Rivian's time. To me it's a product for people who are in denial that what...

FWIW Tesla went multiple *years* without the federal tax credit, everyone predicted bankruptcy, disaster, didn't happen. New car buyers even at the R2 price point are not exactly bargain shopping, tax credit or not. Many only want an EV and very importantly, many only want a Rivian (previously...

I assume they dropped the tank turn from Gen 1 because they knew it would be expensive to warranty and they were selling a $100k truck for $80k at launch to 100% of customers. Now the Electric G has tank turn, the Quad will cost $115k-$125k and only a fraction of buyers will opt for the...

Main reason I would expect the R1S to beat the Gravity Dream, especially off the line, is tires. Pilot Sport 5S tires will erase any small power, weight or COG advantages. +1 They are waiting for the end of Q2 to put the Quad on sale to avoid cannibalizing any sales.

I just want to pile on here and say with a 2022 R1T, with the usual issues, it has never prevented or even disrupted a single trip. I've also had positive service experiences (in LA!). Folks on these forums need to realize that 95% of Rivian owners don't even know about this website, and a good...

Seems quite compelling to me, 5 seats makes it much less of an R1S competitor and it is quite a bit upmarket from the R2. $60k is of course optimistic and no doubt for a bare bones 270 mile range spec... in 2027 at the earliest. An EV Blazer with style and off road chops? An R1S for single...

Shorts and Selection Bias. It was just like this for Tesla early days.

Sorry, premium SUV. Thought people in the *Rivian* forum would know I don't think it outsells the Rav 4.

McLaren quality is notoriously awful :)

I genuinely don't think soft demand is a quality or service issue. It's a market size/saturation issue. The R1S is the most popular SUV, period, in many target markets. I see at least 5 anytime I go out. (And people still stop me to ask me how I like it) We also don't know if Rivian has evenly...

As a shareholder I think they should have had a $125k+ starting price. As a reservation holder I am thrilled. If it's the review unit from the launch I don't think we should put much stock in the range test as it sounded like they hadn't even finalized inverter hardware for the front drive unit...
