Maybe I have seen a Lightning, or maybe it's was just another F150. For me, it is really hard to tell in passing unless you go right up to it and see the badges.

Even the EQS SUV looks similar in shape and styling to the AMG GLE coupe which are plentiful around here.

When you see a Rivian, it will be very obvious.

I think it's mostly a service center and production constraint keeping more cars from being delivered to any particular area.

They need to spend less man hours during the delivery process. Hand delivering cars to homes and spending hours with each customer is not $ustainable. Part of the deal should be to come to a service center for hand over, regardless of distance.

It's that CA thing where you think your perspective is everybody's perspective and you need to let them know you set all trends.

And I'm originally from SoCal so I know. ?
Things have not essentially changed since this 1947 map?

When I visited California back in October 22 I saw more Rivian R1’s there (especially during my drive down from San Francisco to LA) than here in Houston, TX. We just don’t seem here. Ev’s from Ford, Mercedes, and Audi are much more common in my area.

We are seeing tons of Ts and Ss here in beautiful Sarasota, Florida....It's amazing how many are popping up all over the place...even a neighbor a few doors down got an S..!!
So glad to see the ramp up in person vs. quarterly production figures. In fact, Tampa and Sarasota will be getting service centers...Can't wait to see the first EDV delivering my packages...what a great marketing tool that will be once these beasts start roaming around (what a Rivian ...EDV...hahahha!!)

You won't be seeing my '22 Lightning on the road for a while. Ford just issued a recall and informed me not to charge it above 80% as it might catch fire. Looks like my battery pack is getting removed again for some module replacements. I'm going to push hard for a complete new battery pack or a buyback this time.
