  2. Rival: 2026 BMW iX3 reviews are impressive... R2 has its work cut out

    When I look or think about the 400 mile range per EPA loop capability, I am not thinking about actually being able to drive 400 miles. The published range simply says there is enough head room in the on-board energy supply to be able to drive at higher speeds or perform spirted driving with a...
  3. Where $RIVN is Headed in 2026?

    You must just like to argue. This is meaningless. Okay, fine. I don't want to banter. So if you like, let just say that your right about everything. Have a good day :)
  4. Farewell

    This is a very long "farewell" thread!!! you guys must really love one another :) 🧡
  5. Where $RIVN is Headed in 2026?

    To clarify, never meant that the EV demand is gone. The growth rate is significantly lower than it used to be or expected to be just a couple of years ago, especially for the mid to high end EVs. The flood of low cost Chinese EVs are selling globally. As for my statement about the push back...
  6. Having twins and a dog, how is space in R1S?

    Couple of key things to keep in mind. 1) ingress/egress of twin children into an out of car seats 2) loading and unloading strollers, pack-n-play, diaper bag and so on All normal stuff except that the level of difficulty of performing these things heavily dependent on the person's height...
  7. Launch edition?

    Read somewhere that Rivian is branding the initial g2 Quad as a quad "launch edition" Don't think it's a mistake. Just another marketing branding thing...
  8. Wishlist of small things that Rivian can improve (that bug you)

    Maybe this is already covered, didn't check - sorry in advance it so. When looking at the dash cam footage in the vehicle, the wide-angle fish-eye like image is stretched properly to give normal aspect ratio view. When the image file is taken out of the vehicle and played on a computer, it is...
  9. Where $RIVN is Headed in 2026?

    Different times, environment, assumptions and tack records. Sure, if you believe what you say, great. I do not.
  10. Where $RIVN is Headed in 2026?

    We've all seen it right? When the Chinese enters any market, its a race to the bottom and all the profits are lost and often companies go out of business. The best thing that's happening is the pushback on EVs globally (I like EVs, don't get me wrong) and abate the onslaught of cheap Chinese...
  11. Where $RIVN is Headed in 2026?

    The current market cap is roughly $24B so to get to $60/share, that's 3x from here or market cap of $75B - what GM is today. Rivian is not going to get there on autos alone....
  12. Where $RIVN is Headed in 2026?

    Try looking outside of CA. https://gasprices.aaa.com/ Average national gas price is $2.83/gal for regular (AAA), while data centers are consuming more energy and driving up the electricity demand; hence, rate increases.
  13. Where $RIVN is Headed in 2026?

    The closing price on 12/31/2024 was $14.72/share. The closing price on 12/31/2025 was $19.71/share - gain of $4.99, or 33.9% (mostly in December) Even though R2 release is coming, EVs in general will have a very tough year given the lower gas prices, increasing electricity rates and auto...
  14. Do you get dinged if you turn in a leased Rivian with an aftermarket windshield?

    Think of it this way: If you return it without fixing it, it would be more of a ding than if its fixed regardless of glass mfg.
  15. Added to Rivian RAN map - three more future locations (Long Beach CA, Venice CA, Independence MO)

    Its great that RAN locations are increasing but is the rate still higher than the competitors?
  16. Rivian is building an engineering pipeline by working w/ several Georgia schools & institutions to develop EV plant workforce

    Wasn't this a part of GA tax incentive deal? I seem to recall that there was a commitment by Rivian to reinvest into the community for education and training.. As already noted, this type of arrangement is common. Whenever a large manufacturing plant is setup, regardless of the industry...
  17. Rival: 2026 BMW iX3 reviews are impressive... R2 has its work cut out

    Your original statement was the the vehicle will be sold with no options. What do you call the premium pack, $2,500 option??? No Option??? I'm in South OC and there are lots of high volume every maker dealers, including BMW.
  18. Rival: 2026 BMW iX3 reviews are impressive... R2 has its work cut out

    This is a bit strange take on the "a mass market car", for BMW. I have never seen any BMW without any options. Most BMW buyers, however mass market, are not looking for a stripped down model/trim. The profit margin on options are much higher than the base vehicle so that this is how they...
  19. R2 Delayed?

    Sounds like they want you to buy R1S and not wait for R2. There is a glut of the current inventory.
  20. Potential New Owner

    Is this some kind of marketing survey?
