What don't we know?

How is it getting traction mid-slide on gravel like that? That's just cool.

The problem has not gone away: https://electrek.co/2020/06/16/tesla-model-y-quality-issues/ This is what I'm talking about with the publicly traded factor. Pressure from a select group of investors is one thing. Constant pressure every quarter from people who know nothing about your business...

Stock art of their first car design? Which patent was that from? https://insideevs.com/features/398296/rivian-electric-sports-car/

Fit & finish issues are avoidable. In that regard, Tesla has just been very sloppy and more market-minded than brand or product-minded. And I'll believe Musk has learned from the Y when the CT, an aggressively priced, much more exotic vehicle with a lot fewer shared parts, is also released with...

I believe R1V will be a rivian vehicle, not the Amazon van. Wondering if R2R is now the R2X.

No new info though : ( Unless I missed an easter egg somewhere.

I want even higher tech:

Rear wiper at top forming a half circle from the ceiling? I'd rather just see the wiper.

I happily refer to my R1T preorder as my "midlife crisis."

I think it's fine to post anonymous sourced stuff as long as it's obvious that's what it it is. But it's really hard to set dates at this point. At best their source is only speculating and probably at least a little bit annoyed that they framed it as a definitive "huge setback."

50 employees? Sounds like safety prep before bringing more people back.

Come to think of it. possibly unwieldy cupholders right on top of the wireless charging pad don't strike me as the best idea.

Rivian: "We could use your help with manufacturing expertise, supply chain leverage, capital, etc. Would you like to invest in a strategic partnership? We have these skateboards..." Ford: "Those are neat, but we could never let somebody handle an F-150 drivetrain for us. Maybe we could stick...

Ohhhhhh... She was Director of Autonomous Vehicles at Ford until this February. https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexandra-ford-english-02565a31/

I wonder how much this is about wanting to make sure it's understood there was no bad blood over the Lincoln thing. https://www.detroitnews.com/story/business/autos/ford/2020/05/01/ford-family-scion-joins-board-electric-truck-maker-rivian/111648536/ Alexandra Ford English, a rising executive...

Probably tricky to find an insurance partner for a car that isn't on the roads yet.

Yeah, I'm more bummed for Lincoln. Always wished there was more under the... tophat, attached to that aesthetic. And the only thing I never liked about Ford is their interior design. I was seriously considering an Explorer recently until I saw the inside. It's so weird to me. If you're going to...

I was worried about how annoying it would be in a city to have a 200+" vehicle. So I got a used 2015 Mazda CX-9 with the intention of trading it in next year some time. Fortunately, I don't have to parallel park a lot. But if it does get annoying, I might go for the R2R if it's on the horizon...

I'm not sure they've thought out the bumper to bumper traffic factor.
