i agree with you on this, they are still in the driver seat, i feel like maybe because of how far ahead they are from the next truck they have the luxury to make sure all is fine and not rush, I just feel like they could have just gone through everything they still needed and made a more...
what you say is true, in my industry we have felt this, but for a company in the middle of a buildout, they too should be aware of this and should have tried to get ahead with the service center buildouts imo, especially with the way they are doing the deliveries based on service centers. I...
as a launch edition holder I'm disappointed. I did expect some delays, but with covid I thought this would have been the perfect excuse to work around them. The first 6 month delay should have bought them enough time to get the facility ready, and to run some vehicles through the production line...
Went by there today to see if anything had been started yet, no movement, no construction, so sign of anyone from rivian around, the only people i saw were what seemed to be some employees of the old tenants, who are actually a well known adult film site.

I asked about Level 3 autonomy and the reason for the removal of the lidar on the Rivian chat with the customer support people and was told by the person (don't remember their name), but they did confirm that it is still level 3 ready (hardware wise) and that eventually when enough data is...
