Nothing related to the delivery order makes any sense. People with similar configurations in the same state getting their vehicles before I've even been contacted, with an order that was placed months earlier.

What is this mythical "Stage 8" all about? :movember: I've got nothing in online portal. No guide contact. Feb 2019 pre-order.

We'll find out soon enough once China takes Taiwan in the next couple of months. It's not like they haven't made their intentions clear on the topic. He's been saying this for well over a decade and basically said that he wants to effectively reassemble the USSR.

I personally think corporations and individuals are too caught up in what I view as selective virtue signaling. China can do whatever, but people can't be without their iPhones, or big screens, so it's completely ignored. Russia is in the middle of a territorial dispute with Ukraine, and has...

Elio is no better in that they've never produced a real product. They've just done a pivot to BEV, hoping to get some US gubmint $$$. But yeah, they could certainly use design support.

Received the following through Rivian chat:

I'd be inclined to stick with the original 20AT's until they wear out, and decide on the replacements after understanding the real world impact to energy efficiency. 45 different tires available, including the OEM version, and 5 dedicated winter tires...

Thanks for making my point for me.

I kind of don't care about Rivian's perspective. The timing is bad from MY perspective as a potential investor. The IPO could very well represent the top of the market while the supply chain woes exist. Why would I invest if that's the case?

This is a bad time for an IPO in my opinion. Supply chain issues still haven't been resolved, and show no signs of going away any time soon. This presents a significant risk from an investment perspective which has me steering clear of the offering.

I didn't really want to take delivery in the winter, so that's one plus. I'm also expecting that supply chain issues will continue to worsen. I mean, where do we think Rivian is on Samsung SDI's customer priority list?
