This is the current state-of-the-art solution. Much too expensive for consumers, more viable as a service: https://www.sparkcharge.io/ I haven't seen much about Rivian membership but one of the touted features was mobile charging.

Plans change; goals change. What may have been a good idea three years ago may not make business sense today.

Orvis (and others) sell foam seat extenders/fillers as well, although you can probably come up with a DIY solution: https://www.orvis.com/solid-foam-backseat-extender/90XR.html?recommend=true

There's a reason they're called "allegations," one needs only to have a good faith basis to bring them. Doesn't mean they're true.

I'm totally guessing on this one but I would imagine they'll do something like the Sparkcharge Roadie system. I heard that AAA was going to use them so Rivian would likely tap into that resource: https://www.sparkcharge.io/roadie This article only mentions the NY area but I heard they're going...

Details still haven't been crystal clear but it also includes Waypoint charging in addition to Adventure Network. Whether it also includes "partner" charger is an unknown, but it also includes recovery, which will provide assistance if you run out of juice. Also not clear whether that's a...

Their IPO documents listed the membership as a an anticipated $5,500 "lifetime" revenue stream with lifetime estimated as 10 years of ownership. So $5,500/10/12 = $45 per month. (If the free first year is included in their estimate then it's $50/month).

All the majors have entered into deals or trials. UPS has a deal with Arrival and DHL is working with Lightning.

That's a sizeable nailhead.

"May be"? If they want to stay relevant in the market they pretty much have to.

Barclay's? They have about 2% of the credit card market. Hardly worth taking note.

https://www.hud.gov/ But in the present context, it's a "heads-up display."

Was this written by a human? Reads like an AI summary of old news. The only news being reported is Musk's dismissive comment. Very weird.

Anyone who thinks Rivian's "membership" was a differentiating factor, looks like the rest of the world sees a revenue stream in software/updates: https://www.cnbc.com/2021/12/07/stellantis-plans-to-generate-22point5-billion-in-new-software-revenue-by-2030.html

I dumped that Zune piece of trash the second the Pono player came out.

The $40K "entry" price was never viable. This is his move to do a broad pricing revision and make it look like you're getting a totally different vehicle instead of getting upsold on what he announced two years ago.

You only gain or lose if you sell. Unless you're day trading looking at daily movements suggests nothing.

This. They are plainly incurring greater than expected costs of manufacturing, so not having to pay more is discount enough (see e.g. Tesla).

Porsche just opened ae expanded sales/service location less than a mile from there (closer to the Loop) and McLaren has a showroom just East of there. The real estate isn't that expensive and its a very popular destination. Must not have been the right footprint.
