Lots of red tape!
So now that we know a lot more about range, etc. it's time to concentrate on delivery dates.

Lordstown Motors was sort of the homegrown hero of recent EV startups: an impressive electric truck designed and built in America with a factory in a place that badly needed the economic and job benefits that come with a company setting up shop. However, everything is not as it seems with...
This is inexcusable! Why is it so hard for these manufactures to get this right? It's one of the most basic UI experiences that new owner will scream if not done correctly.
I sure hope Rivian gets this right!!
Rivian could set this up many different ways:
1) Purchase software' key' at time of sale (Rivian adds $1000 to price of vehicle?) - unlimited use?
2) Purchase from Rivian thru a software upgrade (like Telsa FSD)
3) Subscription model (pay as you go or monthly like Electrify America)- this...
