For the wary.

I am not much of a fan when it comes to the negative, downer commentary regarding the future of RIVIAN. It is rather bleak and a bit hater-ish in my opinion. For those of you that are genuinely concerned over how the company will fare, I offer a simple suggestion: BUY RIVIAN PRODUCTS. If there is anything that your S or T is missing (OEM parts and accessories), and is offered by Rivian, then buy it from RIVIAN. Let third-party products take a back seat to your RIVIAN-related purchases. I know many of us enjoy being unicorns and getting the wtf looks out on the road. We should however, buy all the RIVIAN merchandise to spread the word and generate interest every where we go. Also, let us not forget about RIVIAN stock. See it all as investment into something that you believe in and are proud to be a part of. Doing so could help you get over your cynical and pessimistic view of this remarkable company/community.

Rivian needs more aftermarket accessories for the basic offroading things. Rock rails, steps, brush guards, more wheel and tire options, winches, etc. Since they seem to be a Yakima partner they should sell every kind of product Yakima offers.

I think most of those who are worried about Rivian’s future are also some of their biggest fans and supporters. many of them own stock and 1-2 Rivian vehicles already. That isn’t a hater at all IMO. They have spent hard earned money on Rivian and that’s all that can be expected.

And while I don’t personally share the doomsday feeling, I do understand why they are concerned. Rivian isn’t even close to out of the woods. They are walking a tightrope right now.

There are some folks who only seem to show up here with brand new accounts in the days after Rivian stock news with the sole purpose of creating as much FUD as possible. They clearly have ulterior motives and as far as I’m concerned they can pi$$ off.

Are we sure I'm not the cause of the impending collapse?

 

[R.I.P.]

Great point.

We should all buy two Rivians.

Every time you buy a Rivian, Rivian loses $30k. Catch-22.

I still like my idea of allowing advertising at RAN stations, like at gas station pumps.

A bit cheesy? Yes, but it’s like 100% profit margins to show ads haha

I don't think that the "Chicken Littles" here on the Forums are Rivian haters. They are just folks genuinely concerned about Rivian's future. I think that we all hope that Rivian will be around a hundred years from now as a shinning example of the early EV movement. There just may be an R1T at the Smithsonian right next to an 1908 Model T.

They lose $ money every time they sell a Rivian. So. In theory. We shouldn’t buy any Rivians. That way they don’t gain or lose. HA! I figured it out. You’re all welcome.

I think Rivian has proven it can be successful and I think investors will respond in kind.

if by chance they get like “Fisker” and burn through their cash, I wouldn’t be surprised if one of the big 3 buys them…..not my first choice, but Rivian is a good brand.

Nice sentiment, but not our responsibility, and barely a rounding error for their bottom line.

Yeah, sure.....
