  1. Waiting a year and a half now - no "resume" for cruise. Seriously?

    Yes, it is true. There always has to be SOMETHING left behind in software at this level of coding. What it is that is left behind is of course up to prioritization. But you never complete all the work on the backlog. Something always has to be left behind that will never be done. The more...
  2. Waiting a year and a half now - no "resume" for cruise. Seriously?

    I believe Rivian's intention is to leapfrog the need for Resume by going to hands-free and eyes-free operation. Where the intent is there would be no need for the driver to ever intervene at all, much less use a Resume function multiple times a day while driving. This is the Software...
  3. Official: Scout EV SUV & Pickup debut w/ Gas Range Extender EREV, 4x4, BOF, Lockers, Sway Bar Disconnect -- All Specs, Wallpapers, Videos

    The funny thing to me about the front bench seat, is how much money I had to pay to buy used OEM high-back Scout II bucket seats and center console to convert from bench to buckets back in the day. Bench seats really weren't that useful on Scouts with the manual transmission, because shifting...
  4. RIVN down 10%

    This will be the story of RIVN stock until if/when the R2 successfully ramps up and becomes profitable. Any good news for RIVN that bumps the stock up won't stick because all the resource burn going into the R2 will have such and oversized impact on future share prices that there is nowhere for...
  5. Seized rear calipers - Rivian stuck me with the bill

    It sounds like they are trying to clean salt and dirt out of the brakes to slow corrosion. Ironically, the is would actually be less of an issue on vehicles where the brakes are used MORE often. Consistent daily multiple braking events will wipe salt and dirt from the areas that slide to...
  6. Seized rear calipers - Rivian stuck me with the bill

    I give kudo's to the mechanic. The reality is that nobody can tell you exactly why your specific brake pads wore out. Brakes aren't just used for braking anymore, and he could have listed off a dozen reasons why yours wore out in this number of miles, but he can't tell you which one. It is...
  7. Commuting Concerns on a Packed Ferry Boat

    If this were the only failure mode in every vehicle that could potentially leave a vehicle with locked wheels, I would agree with the concerns. But the reality is that ICE cars also have multiple failure modes that can lead to locked wheels. For example: Stuck transmission parking pawl...
  8. Not allowed to speak with management? Say what?!!

    Let's try looking at this from another angle, unrelated to Rivian. One of my standing orders to my managers is not to rehash old issues. They are trained to bring the conversation back to the issue at hand with a focus on resolution. When faced with a customer seeking to only rehash old...
  9. Midnight train to Georgia derailed? Article: "Georgia demands Rivian secure, maintain factory site"

    And I'm stating that they were concerned from day 1, and increased runoff could only be partially mitigated until the factory was complete. Completion of the factory was the solution to ending the planned increased runoff during the construction phase. Some increased runoff was accepted as...
  10. Midnight train to Georgia derailed? Article: "Georgia demands Rivian secure, maintain factory site"

    The long-term solution for runoff was that the factory would be completed, resolving the issue. It is entirely reasonable that the state is now asking Rivian to provide a new plan for runoff, now that the plans have changed for completing the factory.
  11. Ford "PRICE WAR" drives RIVN under $10

    I'm dealing with a goldfish who can't even remember what they said.
  12. Ford "PRICE WAR" drives RIVN under $10

    And again, the answer is a resounding NO. Because Rivian is not bankrupt, and does not qualify for bankruptcy relief under bankruptcy laws. It cannot be done. It is an impossibility, no matter how optimal someone might want it to be. There isn't any judge in the world who would approve...
  13. Ford "PRICE WAR" drives RIVN under $10

    Still waiting for you to either support your baseless supposition that Rivian is currently negotiating a bankruptcy and takeover, or simply admit your statements were incorrect. There is no point in me engaging with someone intellectually dishonest.
  14. Ford "PRICE WAR" drives RIVN under $10

    Thanks for clearing it up for all of us that you cannot support your prior posts.
  15. Ford "PRICE WAR" drives RIVN under $10

    Yes, absolutely the R2 is the strategy. It has always been the strategy. All the bean counters, executives, and board members all knew that the R2 reveal and opening of R2 reservations would cut into R1 revenues and result in cash burn. Rivian has never been a company designed around just...
  16. Ford "PRICE WAR" drives RIVN under $10

    OK, boomer. Whatever you say, boomer. Nothing more Maximum Boomer than simply ignoring it when you get caught red-handed fabricating claims about bankruptcy, and shift to ad-homs. Man up, Boomer. Either you can defend your original blathering that Rivian is currently working on a pre-pack...
  17. Ford "PRICE WAR" drives RIVN under $10

    sphereobject is actually making that claim. Follow the breadcrumbs back. He actually launched a completely fabricated narrative where in the present tense Rivian is currently in takeover talks: He then speculated those takeover talks he speculated were happening right now would use...
  18. Ford "PRICE WAR" drives RIVN under $10

    Now you are shifting to pure misrepresentation, after swiftly retreating from your speculation that Rivian could be working on a takeover plan right now, using bankruptcy. At no time did RJ say Rivian would be bankrupt Q4 2025.
  19. Ford "PRICE WAR" drives RIVN under $10

    Funny fantasy fan fiction! I give your post 9 tomatoes for creativity, but it lacks in the realism, only 2 tomatoes for that. You think Rivian is already in talks for a takeover using a pre-pack bankruptcy? The isn't any judge in the world who would approve bankruptcy for a company with $9B in...
