You can do the same thing with a IRA to Roth conversion. Take the tax hit now and all future growth will be untaxed.
There is a lot of pessimism in this thread, and it is warranted. But I am optimistic that Rivian can make it on their own.
The R2 must be cash flow positive. It's required. It...
Good points. The cost to produce a Cybercab is likely less than the cost to produce the M3. And I assume the cost to produce the M3 is actually higher than what you say was reported, without any sources to back it up.
So the cost to produce a Cybercab is $31k.

I bet they could transform the CT platform into something more people would buy. The mega cast thing for the body is probably the biggest barrier, but if they could modify it enough to build a big SUV, and then put nicer looking panels on it, and I bet it would be a big seller. For the right...
There is no freaking way I would drive the truck if it was limited to 13 mph. They would either have to tow it to the SC, or send out a tech to my house again.
My SC is 56 miles away. I could get there by avoiding the interstate, but I could cause an accident driving that slow on the...
The new GX 550 was just coming out when I got the Jeep Grand Cherokee for my wife. I wish I would have waited a little longer and got in the GX instead, but the Jeep is a great truck. Maybe when she finally decides she wants something new we'll do that. She doesn't want to go electric.
Toyota/Lexus may be slow to go full electric, but that go slow, low risk approach is what makes them so amazingly reliable.
I am not up to speed on the GX 550 issues, but those kind of things are very rare from Toyota. And you can bet it won't happen again, ever. Nobody takes quality more...
You are retired and don't need a third vehicle. This is not the popular opinion, but I highly recommend you wait a year. First year products are ALWAYS more defect prone than second year products. Always. Did I say "always"?
You can wait a year. Rivian is not Ford, or GM, producing a first...
Have you driven the Gen2 S? It feels lighter and more nimble to me than the T. Comfort wise it is not as good, but I think it handles better. The T lumbers more, both in a good and bad way.
I am mostly on the same page with you.
I am 100% opposed to government incentives for L2, and I think the market will naturally do it when enough people are driving BEVs to make it economically beneficial. Building them before it is economically beneficial is wasteful, and I don't want my...
I predict 75 mph highway range is going to be well under 300 miles. I bet around 260, which isn't horrible, but way less than I need. Especially when on a trip and charging 10-80 (using only 70% of 260 between forced refueling stops).
And then there is the bad weather penalty...
