You are so right. The company I retired from preordered some before I left. If the operating cost are even just a few percentage points better (I expect way more than a few points), they will switch over the fleet. When I was there we turned over our fleet preferably at 7 years, at most 10 years...

It’s a nice try, but I don’t think they will have any luck slowing down direct to consumer sales. Unless of course they do it with laws and legal challenges which is their MO. Its a little laughable that NADA and business insider thinks the entire population is too dumb to figure out that...

Ahh yeessss……….come to the dark side. Welcome.

That’s awesome! I’m so glad you got it going and now also have some future support for your supertruck! Pictures would be nice if you get a chance.

Dang I wouldn't have thought that was too bad. It helps watching everyone else do all this testing before I get mine.

Thanks for the article. No matter what happens to Rivian in the end, what RJ has accomplished to date is remarkable. The little added blurb with name calling you posted seems like trolling! JMO.?????

I remember Munro talking about a lot of the plastics are painted and how that had to be expensive compared to molded in color. This looks almost like chemically removed paint. Maybe?

This is so awesome. I can’t hardly wait anymore! Next summer is going to be epic!!!!

Did you miss my followup post? I did a search, “fake news from Bloomberg“ then when I saw they had been fined for said fake news, I erased the “fake news from” portion and was going to search “Bloomberg fined for fake news”. Then decided f’it this is plenty. No need for conspiracy...

?I was going to change the search for more juicy stuff, but thought this is good enough. Conspiracy theory much??

From the article… “ All 12 employees, one of whom has since left Rivian, filed their complaints in coordination with the United Auto Workers union, which has been trying to organize Rivian plant workers over the past year. The UAW shared the filings with Bloomberg News.” The UAW would never...

I never said it didn’t happen, in fact I said it’s all true. The article should be written after the fact with facts, but that wouldn’t generate clicks I just don’t let the clickbait driven news full of “sources say” off the hook easily. The amount of fake and later retracted in the fine print...

Im sure it’s all true…after all look at the source!

Does anybody know how fisker plans on servicing the vehicles? I’m sure there will be plenty of growing pains like Rivian. Are they doing their own or contracting it out?

I stand corrected and you are right.

I think we are kinda thinking the same thing. Which one of the current chains, or what new franchise will pop up that will get manufacturers like Rivian and Tesla to let them take over service for them since that is a problem for both.

Spellcheck or tawnowe.

I have been thinking for a few months now that with dealerships looking as bad as ever and possibly on their way out, the next new franchise opportunity should be an EV specific service center like a Firestone or pep boys. Mostly I would think lighter stuff like tires, suspension, low voltage...

The dust is why I decided to NOT get the tonneau cover. My last truck with a tonneau was real bad about getting things in the bed dustier than if I’d had no tonneau.
