  1. Fisker Ocean Reveal

    Yep, the mid-level Ultra trim is hitting a pricing sweet spot. Should still come in under $50K for most people after tax incentives and sales tax/fees. Could be close to $40K in some states that still have incentives to offer. It will be interesting to see how they handle sales and delivery...
  2. Fisker Ocean Reveal

    If that’s true, they might just sell a whole lot of them. Seems we don’t get all the official details until the web site goes live tomorrow. If only the Karma was a BEV, I might have been interested in Fisker. Seemed like a fun car design, but never really heard much positive about it and...
  3. 20" Rivian Dark Wheels Roll Off the Line

    Powder coating is definitely the way to go. Results are far superior to even the most expertly done plastidip jobs. Not sure why the dark ones are an additional $1700…. I would want to see them first as well. The tinted clear coat finish on them might mean they look like a set of Fuel Off...

    Wish they would sell all the hat and clothing color ways they show in the pictures. I’m sure they’ll all be added eventually.
  5. Tire Sizes

    The Scorpion Verde AS Plus are great tires. They have proper load ratings for heavier EVs and long tread life, handle great in most road and weather conditions. I’ve run the series II variant on Ford Explorers and the Tesla Model X. Got over 45K miles with them in the X.
  6. Preorder Share Purchase Issue

    This IPO was a bit crazy. But the final pricing and info wasn’t determined until the 11th hour as Rivian kept revising their valuation. The timing was laid out in the emails, but final pricing was to be set after 5:00PM and we were supposed to have the invite to confirm our shares by 6:00PM...
  7. Official: Rivian IPO priced at $78 per share (@ $77 billion valuation)!

    Yep, DSP was outside of any other accounts we may have already had. I didn't want to leave 175 shares just hanging there by themselves. Yes, I could transfer and would have a low base of $78/share for those 175 shares. In retrospect I should have just moved my shares rather than selling them...
  8. Official: Rivian IPO priced at $78 per share (@ $77 billion valuation)!

    Like I said, strange move. Some of it worked out by chance too. I requested 200 shares through eTrade and was allocated none on opening. With the sale and re-buy I now own 250 shares at $75/share approximately after fees/commissions. So that’s good. I just don’t know if I’m going to owe...
  9. Official: Rivian IPO priced at $78 per share (@ $77 billion valuation)!

    I’m looking at $6K in profit on my sale of the 175 shares, but reinvested more into the same stock, so I’m hoping the IRS won’t smack me for that one. It might have made more sense to just move my 175 shares between brokerages. I guess I’ll find out.
  10. Official: Rivian IPO priced at $78 per share (@ $77 billion valuation)!

    Welp, already cashed out of Morgan Stanley before my ACH has hit the account. Sold my 175 @ $116 and bought 250 shares at $97 thru eTrade. Stock is hovering at $99 at the moment. Somewhat of a weird move I guess and have to get the money settled, but now I have more shares on a platform I can...
  11. DSP (Directed Share Program) to purchase Rivian IPO shares - now live via web portal

    HAHA, LOL…. My post got censored by a moderator. I suppose our mods are not up to speed with stock trade lingo. Anyway, I get it. Sorry guys if I offended. I was there for eToys, but passed on the $20 open. Picked up some later for a LOT less. Sold less than a year later when they were...

    Stooopidest IPO ever…. But I confirmed all 175 shares. I got me a $13,650 bag to hold with diamond hands. I’ll take delivery of my R1T on the moon — see you fellow apes there. Unga bunga!
  13. DSP (Directed Share Program) to purchase Rivian IPO shares - now live via web portal

    I'm not going anywhere until I can drive away in my R1T... And I'm still buying the stock. Doesn't mean I can't call out crazy when I see it.
  14. DSP (Directed Share Program) to purchase Rivian IPO shares - now live via web portal

    I've taken part if a few pre-IPO / DSP programs... I will agree they're often rough around the edges. The Rivian one is the craziest I've taken part in. Never seen one where a company that can't account for more than a $13B valuation on paper goes to seek an $80B value, no... wait.. a $60B...
  15. DSP (Directed Share Program) to purchase Rivian IPO shares - now live via web portal

    ...That's an eloquent way for them to to say no lock-up when they really mean they're by law not allowed to lock any common retail purchase. Directors/Officers and certain partnership relations will face lock-up periods to comply with SEC insider trading regulations. Most D&O stock...
  16. DSP (Directed Share Program) to purchase Rivian IPO shares - now live via web portal

    6 hours to decide... Right after they alter their valuation and pricing, but haven't announced definitively what it is now. After they drop a bomb that T.Row Price is just magically dumping in a $1.3B investment. No prospective finalized in time for the pre-order, I'll be shocked if the IPO...
  17. DSP (Directed Share Program) to purchase Rivian IPO shares - now live via web portal

    Also keep in mind that this Thursday the 11th is Veterans Day. No banking on that day so you won’t be able to initiate or receive a transaction…. Plan a couple business days for the transfer to process. So if it’ needs to be there on the 15th (Monday), you should probably initiate your...
  18. DSP (Directed Share Program) to purchase Rivian IPO shares - now live via web portal

    Yep, the notice went out this morning about payment/ funding needs to happen by the 15th. We still don’t know when the actual IPO date/time is to occur. But I’m reading this as the 15th being their target. …Could just as easily be the 16th or a few days later. They may want to settle the...

    Water bottles only available in black or white? Boooo..... Was hoping for some limestone colored gear. Anyway, I still might order the compass hat. Not sure if I want navy or forest green. I like the hoodies, but don't need another $90 hoodie.
  20. My observations from Sonoma Rivian test drive event

    You didn't get the memo? There's acceptable dress code for Rivian events, vehicle delivery and subsequent operation. Be sure to pick up a puffy vest and beanie before your delivery, if you don't already own them. Jeans are acceptable if you meet the vest/beanie requirements and also hold a...
