so much hype on the R2... I've been away for a long time on this forum. And as I read all of the hype of the reveal last week, this screen clip just came into my head and had to share:
From the get go, it was impressed upon me, that it was a luxury grade Adventure Vehicle. When I first saw it up close for the first time, that was the impression - a luxury EV Pickup Truck... but once they put it through it's paces and virtually conquering all manner of off-road excursions, it...
I'm in agreement with sherold . I view it as a fairly long hold; in my case, 5-7 years...
Far too much to discuss as to why I feel that way; all I can say is, I have some remaining RSU's that are waiting for RIVN to someday hit $40-48/shr. and my optimistic side says 5 years.
Side note: I went to PA today to visit my old co-workers and sure enough, on the chargers next to the front entrance, a R1T with all 4 door handles out; not lights though. It was there for awhile; but then again, he/she works there so no worries of theft.
This past Monday, I was at a mall in Los Angeles and as I was parking under the building, I spotted a Glacier White R1T with the tail light lit up. I figured the driver was either getting ready to leave or had just parked as I turned the corner. We waited for someone to leave and the spot was...
These vans remind me of the MB Sprinters, so as Tim alludes to, it could definitely be reconfigured for trade purpose as well. I recall back in 2022, just a week ahead of the IPO, the first working prototypes and exterior-wise, it remained the same as far as I can tell. I don't recall all...
For me, it wasn't the R1T or R1S but the R1V for the Amazon delivery vans. I finally saw one in my neighborhood last week! 1.5 years before, they were just coming out with the working prototypes but today, they're finally starting to roll, at least in the SF Bay Area.
Generally, the swag was a T-shirt, aluminum water bottle, camp cup, and a backpack or a shoulder bag. It changes so I don't know what they put into the boxes these days. The Help Desk was in charge of going to the 'cage' and pulling all those things each week. There were other things we got as...
You should just go to their website and find a job

I've shipped thousands of laptops all over the US for new-hires and interns, from Vancouver, BC, to Florida. Rivian is allows hybrid work, depending on the position. I was...
I wish Riv would do at least an annual "drive experience", similar to what Audi did with their ICE cars. I did one from Audi back in 2008, at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, CA for the A4's latest platform w/drive select. It was pretty fun, and it was free, complete with snacks and drinks.

I'm very glad Riv is moving in the right direction. I was giving them 7 years in 2022, and that's still my goal post. The Georgia plant appears to still be a go, moving forward and to be completed in 2026. The projected output of that facility is over 3x than that in Normal. By then, I'm just...
I personally felt their initial $ figure, pre-IPO, should of been set in the $25-35 range. I vaguely recall at one point, they were set to go public at about $38, but when they went to $78, I decided not to chance buying 500 shares; I scaled it down to just 100. Still under water, but will...
Nobody alive today remembers the very first cars of the 1880's and guess what? There was no gas stations - however, you could use benzene from a pharmacy so the first "gas station" is a pharmacy in Germany. I would imagine It took decades to layout gas stations using petrol fuel along...
I should say, that a buy out can lead to dropping of the Rivian brand altogether. I only say this because in my storied past of the tech companies, I worked for a small company back in 1982 called Metaphor Computer Systems, started by it's CEO, who worked at P.A.R.C. I worked there for 7...
