You may not but most people have short memories and many do not connect CEO's behavior to the products. Given that Model Y has taken back top spot in sales in several countries in September, Elon-hate has peaked and many don't care. I don't plan to buy another Tesla OR Rivian next. Nothing to...

Rivian can do what too? To produce and sell the same quantities of R2 and R3 as much as Model 3 and Y? Highly unlikely in today's environment. The public sentiment on EV is down, more competitions/alternative options, and production capacity limitations even with GA plant in 2028. As a long...

It might help you to think about the whole portfolio performance over any single stock performance. Frankly, averaging down only makes sense if one is convinced that the price will recover. Otherwise, it's just throwing good money over bad. There are lot better opportunities than Rivian...

There was an interview with RJ last month that indicated that R2T was a possibility so not surprised given compact trucks are becoming more popular.

The current market cap at ~$13/share is roughly $16B. If $50/share that would put the market cap at $61B. About the same as Ford (~$52B) and GM (~$64B) with portfolio of products much greater than Rivian. When investing, one must get rid of emotional attachment to any company and look at the...

From a distribution stand point, DFW area is great for this as it is essentially the halfway between east and west coasts. For being in a major metropolitan area, the logistics costs are much less than some of the other similar sized cities along the similar latitude.

External (behind the rear hatch) full size spare with a matching wheel.

In another evidence that EV sales are slowing more, GM to lay off 3,300 workers building EVs and batteries. "GM is dropping one of two daily shifts at the end of the year at Factory Zero, a person with knowledge of the production plans told Automotive News"

Design patents are almost worthless. If someone changes a small aspects of the patented design, it is not infringement. It is really to award the design team for their work and goodwill patent portfolio value than anything. If this had some functional feature that qualifies for the utility...

Once R2 is out and going along, all focus will be on R3/3X. R1T/S will effectively the same as Model S and X are to Tesla today then....

Forget the saw, I want the jump skids under the vehicle that lets you fly...

I've been told by a bodyshop owner friend that if you can feel the edge of the scratch, it goes beyond the clear coat and needs to be smoothed and painted to look right/original. Buffing may lessen the scratch but will probably still be there.. I have had a similar scratch on Outback (navy...

Just to Just to clarify, the only reason Rivian was able to show positive gross profit in both quarters were due to regulatory credit (carbon offset sales). Without it, they would have shown negative gross profit, or loss for both. As for Q3, it too will depends on how much credit they were...

R3X hot hatch is a good indication of kind of performance RJ would have made in a sports car. And he was right to move from that to SUV/Truck segment for addressable market size. When SSB is a common place, a EV sports car definitely is a desirable option. It will be much lighter and quick to...

I say you got very unlucky. The gen 2 R1S started being delivered in June 2024 - the month your vehicle was made. There were significant changes between the generations - in terms of vehicle architecture, design and process changes throughout. Whenever new product/significant updated is...

Was the vehicle sold as the correct model year? (i.e., MY2024 but sold as MY2025) Since you point out that it was built 15 months prior, it would be very unusual to have this situation. The only time I can see this happen is if there is a mid-year introduction and the following year model came...

Its not shortsightedness if the inventory is not turning over at the dealerships. Ford or any automaker cannot continue to build if the dealers cannot sell them at a profit and the dealers are not buying them from the manufacture, nor can Ford continue to heavily subsidize/discount to move the...

I have posted several times over the years I been around on this forum that I am looking for a proper EV 2-seater sports car. As different automakers planned and cancelled their options, Boxster and Cayman were the only real choice. Since I have no desire for convertible, it would have been...

I am a VWG and Porsche shareholder and keep in mind that in Germay, there are two board of directors - supervisory and management - each with different functions. And I agree that these headlines are nothing more than sensationalism without real insight as to the direction of the company...

In another thread herein, there was a discussion of Rivian-VWG JV to include ICE vehicles couple of weeks ago. At the time, I had said that Rivian is being tone deaf if they reject the inclusion of what VWG needs. Many here defended the Rivian's core green values and rejected the notion. My...
