As much as we, the customer, think there is goodwill to be gained by Rivian delivering vehicles to those who've waited years for them, don't underestimate how much goodwill could be burnt if you screw over your supply base who've been waiting even longer to get their ROI. Keeping the supply...

I always thought the medium tone wood would be great with the Black Mountain interior. Our Q5 has open pore walnut, which is similar in color, combined with black IP and cinnamon seating surfaces. It's a stunning combination.

Suppliers being paid by Rivian, who then pay further down the supply chain. Most of the supply chain is functioning on a "just in time" delivery model where goods aren't invoiced until received - typically with Net 30 (day) payment terms.

Which maximizes cash that flows through the supply chain...

While I won't disagree that there's been significant self-inflicted damage done by Rivian themselves, how many of these "battle-tough vets" were (a) involved in the launch of a new company, and (b) had to deal with the type of supply chain issues we've seen in the last couple of years? This is...

IMO, this is about one thing only - cash flow.

As much as I like the R1T - declaring it to be "the best truck" is subjective. In the end, "the market" would decide this, but we don't exactly have a free market. This is especially true when the established OEMs have a supply chain advantage in one major way - priority. From this...

If short interest continues to increase, a squeeze could help fuel an upswing. It's currently at 10.54% Regardless of this, the chart is ugly and would have to break out of the downward channel. I don't see this happening due to broader market conditions and the coming depression - we have yet...

If it breaks through 30, it likely makes it to 24.

Let's just call it simulated leather. The use of the term vegan is pure marketing BS. I had simulated leather/pleather (plastic leather) in my '98 A4 and it was very good. I would assume it's equally as good if not slightly improved since then.

Launch Green are definitely there and present in the picture - I just visited the lot yesterday. It's the most prevalent color in the lot.

The main issue is that we have no idea where the Rivian air spring design is relative to those very different extremes. The following both satisfy the "built to Rivian specifications" descriptor: Exact same materials and construction as another OEM component, but with different attachments and...

Government is only capable of being efficient at a couple things: - Wasting OUR money / not following a budget / stealing more our our money / corruption (really all part of the same problem) - Diminishing our rights

There's actually translucent powder coat available in several colors, including "black chrome". https://www.prismaticpowders.com/shop/powder-coating-colors/PPB-4623/black-chrome-ii https://www.prismaticpowders.com/shop/powder-coating-colors?color=pris_black

Crawl mode with a remapped throttle position sensor would probably be useful. Zero throttle input is actually a few percent out output power when the brake is released, and throttle pedal input is mapped to a lower power output range which would make it much easier to feather and control...

Received email from guide yesterday, so stuff is happening.

Guide assigned yesterday evening after receiving an email that said guide contact would occur s000n. Feb 2019 order - Launch Green R1T

Without a meaningful change in volumetric energy density at the cell level and/or at the pack level this isn't going to happen. Improvements in thermal stability (tabless cells) should help improve charge rates and longer term chemical stability within the cell, with the latter having an impact...

Monday morning QB - engineering style!

Your story doesn't make any sense considering RJ sent a letter out to pre-order holders on March 3 which stated that pricing would be reinstated for orders placed prior to March 1. You being a shareholder is irrelevant. Pre-order deposits are refunded in the way they were paid. I had two...
