Not sure if this is somewhere else given the explosion of conversation over the last 16 hours, but here is an excerpt from the Laura Schwab lawsuit. This looks EXTREMELY bad for Rivian from a investor lawsuit standpoint. Also, pretty much every prediction she made came true.
28. First, it was...
MT made a deal with the devil. We already know they gave up editorial control to get the exclusives last year. They were obligated to report on this to maintain a thin patina of credibility. I think if the person writing that article had a vehicle on order the article wouldn't have read like we...
"Telling it like it is" and callousness while people are mourning just makes you look like a jerk. Let people have their moment. If it upsets you, skip the thread.
Really tough to hear from someone getting to jump the line and get it cheaper. We appreciate your vehicle walk through, but here you need to sit down and be quiet.
I believe you are referring to average sale price of cars in the US. This is due to people buying more suvs/trucks and no more dealer discounts. This is NOT the same as what Rivian did.
I'm with that seems like the majority (of reactions at least) in that I'll be looking elsewhere. This is a stretch vehicle for my family, and we were going to buy for three reasons: 1) there are not a lot of choices in the same EV segment out there, 2) it was a great value proposition, and 3)...
I've bought shares a couple times from 55-65. Also been selling short term puts ~7% below market weekly for the last month. Going to take that cash and buy a bunch of puts 5-10% below market value on march 10.
My thoughts are exactly in line with @aAlpine. If stock drops I win, if not then I...
If the unveiling of the minibus version is only for the 5 seat variant (and not a 6-7 seat) it's a hard pass for me no matter the price. My family needs more seats, hence the 7 seat R1S reservation.
VW press release
I assume this is just to get the ball rolling and EVENTUALLY a 6/7 seater will...
I have never heard this before, but conceptually it makes sense. If a single one of my state legislators in Georgia could articulate this with facts and figures backing it up, I would GLADLY pay these fees without complaint.
Unfortunately, I think it more often comes down to: "How can we stick...
I saw someone else do the math for Georgia on this forum in the past (maybe @Autolycus?), but here is the recap of why GA especially gouges:
213.7 Renewal fee
Gas tax 28.7 cents/gal
That's 762 gal/year
To use @SANZC02's 26.4 mpg, this works out to ~20k miles driven
Given I drive ~10k a year...
Wonder if I can get a part time remote job doing some customer engagement and get a R1T by next week? As I'm completely unqualified and have no idea how to do that job I'll fit right in with the current team.
Disclaimer: I have never had the opportunity to see a Rivian vehicle in person, or even speak with anyone from the company.
On paper and in videos, this is a compelling vehicle. However, Rivian as a company has done next to nothing to engage me as a customer. They have engendered exactly zero...
My solution to is I'm looking to buy 2 EVs that can each hold my five person family (2 car seats and a booster) comfortably. One can be short range for city only driving and the other will be a max pack R1T (assuming it ever comes). If the early portion of the charging curve looks better in days...
More the shape of the curve than anything else. If they can truly improve the middle portion of the curve via OTA I'd be happy.
To those who don't believe this is a concern I say great for you. Don't minimize our concerns. Some of us regularly drive 300+ miles and don't want to stop for an...
