I believe Amazon's investment in Aurora is already contributing to Rivian capabilities, and it looks like Amazon might be about to make another acquisition in the space. https://www.axios.com/amazon-buy-self-driving-tech-company-zoox-talks-f9d985ec-35e1-4d19-9941-ff8b724386e2.html

There will be a Ford Bronco EV, and it will be built on the Rivian platform. I am a Jeep (Wrangler) guy & think that Ford could kick Jeep's *ss in the EV space. I was wondering if Rivian would do it on their own, but it's clear that Ford has very ambitious plans for the Bronco brand, and I...

I thought this was a strong & intriguing hire. Curious why it didn't work out. https://www.theverge.com/2020/2/20/21143374/rivian-cto-mike-bell-left-apple-intel

Any finance types that have some perspective on this? If Ford is cash-strapped & deeply indebted, why did they invest hundreds of millions in Rivian? https://www.ccn.com/why-bankruptcy-forgone-conclusion-for-ford-motor-company/ I know Ford would survive even if they did go through Chapter 13...

This article seems to infer that the "base" $69/72.5K prices include the 135kw battery & electrochromatic glass roof. Anyone else in SF hear something similar? https://finance.yahoo.com/news/electric-vehicle-maker-rivian-expect-003557325.html

I'm trying to get an idea of how many members here will be going. For comment...would you be interested in getting together outside of the event? If so, post any ideas (meal, drinks, activity).
