Amazing that he wades into this (unasked for) and keeps asserting he is right and cannot fathom he is wrong with someone with local info and others who dug and show it was a fake rock (not 200lb per sqft). Amazed he put so much effort into something so inconsequential and was meant to be a joke...
Not sure why you are being argumentative and keep stating it is definitively AI when someone you lives right there and has vouched for it says it isn’t. Seems pretty arrogant.
Rivian will make 75-100k next year and then full production (150-165k) in 2028. Second shift hired later this year and third shift first half of next year by all accounts. Each shift (when at full speed) will be 50-55k a year.
I thought the release had been spring 2026 and recall people stating that was up until June 20th which is the official start summer. People do parse Rivian’s dates a bit too much as the difference between Spring 2026 and by end of first half is only a few days.
They have met their consistent...
They expect the first shift to have hit max production (which is roughly 4000 a month since each full shift can make around 50-55k a year) by November/December so the 20-25k guidance is very weighted to the backend of the year. Q3 will be interesting.
I am pleasantly surprised by how many orders are in the tracker given that way less than 1000 orders will have been made (going off VINs and expected production at this stage) which means a good double digit response rate. That means statistically it should be reasonably accurate.
I want to see...
Surprised by you saying “Back seat room is good, but I would be cramped sitting behind someone as tall as myself. Plenty of room sitting behind my wife.”
All reviews and my own experience (as a 6’1” adult) is that it has class leading space and inches to spare when sitting behind myself. Do you...
