He is committed to only one thing: Elon.

Unless they would pull a Tesla? They killed both their flagships. Though Tesla is obviously a much more mature company.

Unless you know how to play their game. Find out when they need sales. Buy when you don’t need the car. Etc…. You can squeeze some ridiculous deals that way! But for most, it’s not a good game.

Robert is the 5th highest paid executive, period. Musks pay RATIO is in the top 0.01% of salaries in earth lol.

Oh, then ya. Only reason I thought you meant all cars is that folks justify the Tesla valuation on the car business alone. Which is insanity 😊 I should presume sanity from now on!

Oh god no lol. Selling as much as Tesla would be a massive downgrade for legacy carmakers. Tesla is probably selling 1.7M cars a year globally? Toyota is at 10M+? Even Ford is around 5M. Not to mention that Tesla car sales haven’t really been rising the past couple of years.

Ever notice that the people who complain about the recurrence of this topic tend to be the people that keep it alive? 🤔

Who uses Apple Maps on CarPlay? Were you also disappointed by the Mapquest app? 😂😂😂

The new Prius is good looking, right? Surprising from Toyota. Difference is that when you are in a parking lot and a white Y pulls up and parks by 7 other exactly the same white Ys, part of you dies lol

Oh I definitely cannot stand Elon. Guilty as charged. 😊 But I also cannot stand Teslas. Is there anything more soulless on the road than a white model Y?

I cannot stand Tesla. That said, their engineering is superb from an efficiency perspective.

Data. Data. Data. Data. Too valuable to let it slip away when you are trying to catch up. That’s it. Plain and simple. From the horse’s mouth.

Ha. It’s actually quite common. You aren’t going 17mph on the freeway. You may have cross town traffic at 10mph for a small distance, but it adds up time. Freeway speed could be 30mph avg at rush hour. It’s not a constant speed you are traveling at. That said, even during rush hour cross town...

Weird. Your partner and I hold $17.6M in RIVN.

The best path to accelerating EV adoption is to develop (we can’t import) 5 min battery tech and deploy the massive infrastructure to charge at that speed all over the US? Eh? 🤔 The widely accepted and more logical best path is to incentivize high amp L2 charger installs in existing buildings...

While I generally agree, here you aren’t waiting for the latest or something theoretical. Rivian announced two products: R2v1 and R2v2 at the same time, with staggered releases. So, folks are kinda in limbo and I empathize a little more with them than the general person who is paralyzed by what...

If it’s a warranty issue, you will not have to pay the diagnostic fee. Don’t pay attention to the usual suspects on this forum who would rather spit snark than helpful input.

The most underrated part of CarPlay: every car I get into instantly has all my music, my calendar, my apps, my maps, my favorites, etc…. Ever get a rental car without CarPlay? It’s torture.

I wouldn’t do it, for any car. Keep in mind that the service centers and mobile techs will be busy with the new R2s. So, it would be better if you were closer to a couple service options. But, whatever you decide, you are going in eyes wide open.

Most of sea level CA is perfect for EVs. 😊
