Damn sadly Rivian spokesperson denied this today.
If someone had asked Rivian 2 months ago about collaboration with VW on software they would have denied it too. They are notoriously tight lipped.

It wouldn't surprise me at all if they were evaluating additional partnerships, but don't expect anything from Rivian other than denial.

Great point but I look at it like the Apple rumor. Lot of rumors out here and until it’s concrete and official I don’t expect anything released. But the fact they denied it this quickly leaves me to think the originator of this rumor was just trying to create hype.

Goodbye Georgia!
Good riddance. We should be so lucky. Couldn't care less about MTG and her anti-progress, anti-EV "NIMBY's" in that region. If that land becomes another worthless strip of car washes, fast food, and Dollar Generals, instead of a high-tech manufacturing center, they only have themselves to blame. ?

Holy shit dude, be a bit less of a judgmental asshole. The heart of MTG's district is 100 miles from the Rivian plant location. I think the NIMBYs from Social Circle are idiots, but they sure as heck aren't the majority of voters in Georgia. They aren't even the majority of voters in Social Circle. Looks like you live in NOVA. Should I judge everyone in your state and hope nothing ever good comes to Virginia because of tiki-torch carrying racists who marched in Charlottesville?

Thanks for proving my point. ?

The Rivian/Porsche combo:

An R1T to tow your GT3R to the track.
An R1T to tow your Cayman to the track.

^Fixed that for you :). At least that is my use case.

WRT the OP, this is all great news for Rivian.

Adds to the case for Georgia with potentially scout also being produced there (like the Mazda/Toyota JV in Alabama recently opened).
And Porsche headquarters in Atlanta which is where RJ and VW struck their deal. But redline is going to hate on Georgia for being a state where people want to live and work I guess.

Not generally helpful, I think, to predict what others will say before they've said it.

I was impressed with this group's ability to discuss sensitive topics without namecalling. I hope we can keep it up.

Very best wishes, @Hillbilly and others!
