I love being right even when I did no research. So there we have it. Spouses of Rivian employees in Washington and California have taken ownership of delivered vehicles.
Will Shatner probably got one as a perk for his ticket to space on the blue origin flight. Like how regular people get pretzels on 4 hour+ flights, rich people going to space get cars so they don't have to worry about parking at the launch pad.
Is the van line really 85k capacity? That's interesting that they are prioritizing commercial over consumer. They must really want to focus on the market opportunity in that space. I mean, it makes sense. There are fewer competitors and creating a first-mover advantage in that space could be a...
Having lived in the (almost) ex-urbs of Chicago.... There are a lot of inaccessible pockets if you live in the wrong area. The only truly-accessible area for everyone is where all the highways converge. That means Chicago. However, we all know where the money is and that's in the northern burbs...
When does their third quarter end? Since they're reporting Q3 results, they may not release updated pre-order #'s past that. I am more interested in seeing how many deliveries they have made to customers and if they are on plan or behind and what their plans are to ramp up given all the...

Tesla is planning to offer a subscription to its autonomous driving feature, but they also apparently will allow you to pay up front for it for $10,000 or whatever the going rate is today. I'm the type of person that would rather pay up front, but if the subscription cost is low enough that I'd...
Anyone aware of a place that one can submit a feature request that Rivian officially supports?
I am pretty shocked that Apple CarPlay won’t be supported. I know this is an “adventure” vehicle, but since I can’t afford to be on excursions everyday, real-world usability is first priority...
