Tesla already conquered this problem. You get premium connectivity free for a year, then $9.99 per month or $99.99 per year. Premium connectivity is navigation, live traffic visualization, sentry mode-view live camera, satellite view maps, video streaming, karaoke, music streaming, and internet...

Based on your comment that they don't absorb water, and this video of the Tuxmat in the R1S: ...I am ordering a set right now. I spend so much time in the cars with kids, if we did not eat in the cars my kids would starve or never have time to sleep.

My R1S lives in a large garage with no sun, and there is no change to ever leave anything in the sun. This is why I need mats like weathertech that are rubber/plastic so they can shake dry. I just don't like the minimal coverage of the weathertechs.

Kagu 3D mats look great. But do they absorb water? It looks like they have fabric or foam on the bottom?

Thanks for the feedback. Do the Tuxmats hold liquid? I need something I can hose off and shake off to dry and throw right back in the car.

So why did management blow through $12+ billion in 2022 and 2023, and probably another $6+ billion in 2024 (annualizing the Q4 2023 $1.5 billion loss) to the extent the company now has insufficient liquidity to build the Georgia plant, where the only way the company can be profitable (according...

You hit the nail on the head. I need mats that overlap the door sill and maximum coverage for the gum and mud slathered all over my kids. You like the linerX? I've seen some videos and the fitment doesn't seem great. Tuxmat looks great for coverage, but it looks like they are fabric of some...

Oy vey

Oy vey this is maximum ok boomer. The smart money clearly has its own opinion. Today RIVN closed down 95% from its $172.01 all time high. Fight the tape if you dare!

Is there anyone who has "been through them all" who can say "these are the best mats?" I need some that I can hose the kid puke/smashed chicken nuggets/melted M&Ms/crusty smelly milk off and shake dry and throw back in the truck immediately. Anything that absorbs any water is off the list...

This is true. I was showing off Alexa to a friend debating between a R1S and Cybertruck, and Alexa navigated us to a long ago permanently fenced off road at a public park.

Do you want to raise capital before or after you receive a going concern letter from your auditor? If your projections are that you are going to run out of cash by date X, what do GAAP and SarBox say about when an auditor must issue a going concern letter to CYA?

Agreed in most everything. I just don't think they'll allow pre-hike pricing on these, which is why I traded in my 2023 R1S for a 2024 R1S this week.

I think they'll keep these as options, but will reconfigure the wood to avoid complex wrapping and cutting in the current R1. If you look at the dash of the R2, you'll see what I mean. The Sandy Monroe team did a video on the extreme complexity of the woodwork on the R1.

It's in the thread above. Rivian paid $71,835 for the pristine 2023 R1S with 4,000 miles (this was higher than Carvana, Carmax, and a few other instant buy sites offered).

I agree, this can't happen now. This would be when the company runs out of money, which RJ said would be around Q4 2025.

I mostly agree. The most likely takeover would be a pre-pack bankruptcy, so vendor contracts, ground leases (service stations) and warranties could be wiped out. I think a global footprint company could scale the R1, R2, and R3. (Mercedes?)

LOL this guy is like me. I get all excited about $15% moves on $2,500 non-material crazy investment ideas.

I hope you are right, but I am skeptical that gross profit is achievable with the R1S or R1T. Even if they manage to bring the COGS down, I don't think the market is there at scale for $90k+ electric SUVs. Shareholders should be happy that RJ only owns 1.4% of the equity. I think it hurts less...

In the quote you quoted above, 4,000 miles at trade in. Adventure has been $1.15 per mile (so far, rolled forward to the next R1S). This does not include the opportunity cost of the capital locked up in the adventure.
