The price dropped below $10 because of the idea of Ford, Chevy, and soon RAM doing what they always do -- compete with each other on price.
Then it dropped to around $9.50 just because the price dropped below the magical $10 mental price limit where more people wanted to sell just because it...
I offer this purely in the spirit of constructive help. Here is Tesla's early lease termination and lease transfer policy:

RIVN will continue to move sideways and be volatile until if/when the R2 ramp-up is proven to be successful with sustained volume sales, with sufficient support infrastructure, etc. Until then playing the timing of any market movement is just gambling.
Fun if you have money to blow gambling.
I actually think the corporate nose will look even better the smaller the vehicle. I could see an even smaller R3 variant the size of the original Mini Countryman maximizing the "cute" factor.
I have to admit I was going for a very traditional truck look, so I like that you validated that I met the goal I intended to hit.
To be clear, I do actually like the distinctive look of the stock front end. It definitely defines the brand and helps distinguish it from all the other trucks on...
Maybe if you offer Cross Sell the $100 bucks they might cough up the full data, instead of just teasing just enough numbers to get people to buy the data?
It is worse than you think. Not only do R2's have to go into production, and successfully ramp up, they also have to show good margins before increases in RIVN share prices will stick in the long term. Rivian will be too heavily invested in the R2 over the next years for the R2 to fail and not...
There is very little anyone at Rivian can do to "manage" RIVN share prices for 2 reasons:
1) RIVN share prices are too heavily influenced by TSLA share price volatility. When TSLA gets hammered, the whole EV sector gets hammered including RIVN, and there is nothing Rivian can do about that...
I bought at 20 and more at 18, with plans to buy more if it drops below 17. But only in limited amounts until after the R2 reveal.
I'm waiting to see if the R2 reveal is wildly successful or if the reveal tanks, to determine if I invest more. To me that is more important than dilution or even...
I couldn't justify buying in at IPO pricing because it already priced in full successful full ramp-up of 2 R1 variants and 2 R2 variants and 2 commercial van variants and a Ford partnership. I would have to hold for 4-8 years just to break even on value to buy and hold, with too much downside...
The appeal of the Maverick is more than just economical reasons. People are paying $40K+ for decked out Maverick's with dealer markups. Part of it is that full size trucks have just gotten too darn big. The Maverick brings back the size trucks used to be before they were supersized.
I think...
If you can find a dealer that has dropped their previous $10K+ dealer markup, it is more like a $28K+ price cut.
Sadly I almost expect higher dealer markups if the price cut actually draws in more customers. Ford dealerships aren't going to leave that $18K on the table if they think they can...
That's exactly what would happen. Worst case scenario is CCS, NACS owned by SAE, and a new Tesla Not-A-NACS charging standard.
Not a great future, but at least there would be a choice between the clunky CCS connector and an NACS plug for non-Tesla owners.
The elephant in the room is that...
Would people who don't post on forums because they don't have any problems, suddenly post in response to your question that they don't have any problems?
I'm not sure you are going to get responses from the people you are looking for.
