The market for $70k - $90k vehicles is a lot bigger than the market for $90k - $110k+. Imagine what the ceiling will go to when the quad is released. Remember, it’s not just me “acting” like the lower volume is a disappointment. It’s Wall Street that’s most disappointed by it and sees it as a...

Being “everything to everybody all at once” is a far cry from making a few adjustments to sell a little more than 50k/year across three vehicles. Wall Street was only expecting 55k vehicles and Rivian is guiding below that. It’s the main reason the stock is taking a hit right now.

Well Donald, that can be said about any vehicle. But the point is, too many people are choosing not to get one. Hence, Rivian’s lower guidance.

My statement said Rivian needs a “more compelling product” in that price range.

Tesla sold an average of 25k Model S sedans leading up to the Model 3 launch That was good numbers for a large 4 door sedan priced in the luxury class. Tesla was good at reducing options to streamline production and reduce cost. Rivian seems to be doing the opposite. More battery, drivetrain...

Wow! Sorry it played out that way. Could be 2 years or never.

Hope you are right

I know V2H capability was announced by Rivian a while ago citing both Gen 1 and Gen 2 vehicles having the ability. But to this day, the functionality does not exist. Any thoughts or insight on if Rivian will actually one day enable this functionality for existing vehicles?

Says the guy that wants to equate a Rivian forum to a biker bar so I would think twice about sharing my opinions LOL.

I think you are far less informed about who I am. You talk loud on a keyboard when you get your feelings hurt.

Yeah man, biker bar vs online forum for electric SUV. It's a car company, not a gang.

Whoa! OP here. I never imagined this post would get so many responses. I'm most surprised at the amount of people that were offended and told me to go buy a Tesla. Let's remember, everyone here is pro Rivian and has invested and/or supported the company in one way or another. To be clear, I...

Man, sorry to hear that. I hope they get you rolling again soon. If not, they should give you a replacement. I know all manufacturers can produce lemons but how they handle it and how many lemons they produce is the differentiator. A lot of people got their feelings hurt by my post, telling me...

Man! Sorry to hear of your experience. Notice how nobody responded to your post? Like you and everybody here, I’m rooting for Rivian. But I won’t have blind loyalty to the point where I won’t acknowledge shortcomings. Thank you for sharing your experience. Hopefully they figure out your...

I have no idea what you are talking about with definitive yes or no. You are responding to a reply that I had to another person. He asked if I wanted him to explain more. I replied telling him to explain it to me.

That’s great your sales reps were on point. My local sales rep told me the standard LFP pack can be software unlocked at a later date. He als said he was texting me his contact info, never did. I called several times to get anyone at the local sales center to call me, no one ever called back...

The VW investment is good but it’s a phased disbursement. Everyone has high hopes for R2 but Rivian still has a lot to prove with the R1 line. I say that because they have to prove they can consistently make a gross profit on a higher margin car before they can successfully make gross profit on...

Any discussion about Rivian’s success or failure is speculative. I didn’t come here to complain about a recent experience. It was a genuine concern about how the company operates and uses economies of scale. Just wanted to know if anyone else had the same observations.

Don’t be ”lazy and ignorant” like me. Explain it to me like I’m 8 years old. I really want you to break down the point you are attempting to make.

How so? I genuinely want to know.
