Anyone else seen this ridiculous review of why not to buy an R1S?

[Ric G]

I pasted the highlights below, so we don't have to go to the website and generate any more ad revenue.

Who is this guy? Generally click bait articles at least get their facts straight. There are so many errors. I especially had to laugh at how the R1S's "sloping roof line" limits cargo space.

#1. It is super expensive.	The Rivian R1S is priced at $78,000, much more than the Ford Mustang Mach-E ($47,000) and Tesla Model Y ($55,000).
#2. It is available in limited areas.	The Rivian R1S’s dealerships may not be available in all US states due to high demand and short supply, production issues, and chip shortage.
#3. It takes longer to charge.	The 316 miles range of Rivian R1S is due to its 135kWh battery. It takes around 20 minutes to add 140 miles to the car’s range every hour at a DC charging station. However, this charging time is 47 hours with a Level 1 charger and 5.6 hours with a Level 2 charger.
#4. It lacks many infotainment features.	The R1S lacks Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, an easy navigation system, and a massive touchscreen display.
#5. It offers a limited storage space.	Although the Rivian R1S has a total cargo space of 104 cubic feet, it only offers 17.6 cubic feet behind the third row of seats.

Most likely a Wall Street sort seller trying to push the price down.

Lol, considering RIVN's recent run, I bet a lot of short sellers are feeling the pain.

Whoever wrote that isn't a very accomplished writer nor do they have any real legitimate complaints.

This is another one of those AI generated websites. They're increasingly common and rank high on search results because the articles are filled with specific keywords and phrases, etc. The website's only purpose is to generate ad revenue.

Bashing Rivian is the subject matter only because Rivian in general is a hot topic so the website has strong odds of generatign a lot of page views. Expect to see a lot more of these types of garbage sites going forward on all types of topics. ChatGPT has made it incredibly easy to generate content.

I'll take everyone word for it that this article is stupid, and I won't feed the click baiter.

The Model X has 15 cubic feet behind the third row and significantly less head room in the third row. He says small screen, I don't know how anyone can say the main screen is small. Only valid complaint maybe the infotainment, but everything else is as others pointed out AI generated or someone with alternate interests.

Wait, that's not an article from The Onion...? Could've fooled me

I'm not going to reward this guy with a click. Next time paste the contents so that others don't have to award him/she/it a click.

Well, there are probably 10x-20x more Rivian longs than shorts. By that logic, we should throw away most positive Rivian reviews as being written by “long buyers” and therefore biased. Does that sound good to you?

This author wrote an almost identical article on why not to buy a Porsche Taycan. Could be a student trying to use ChatGPT to generate evergreen click bait content. Or the author could straight up be an AI.

This guy might have heavily shorted the stock and just can’t handle the fact that Rivian has turned the corner and is a real car company.

That guys an idiot.

He’s an idiot ?

I was just replying to the person that suggested the author of the article was possibly trying to help the shorts. I am long from the IPO, holding since and accumulating whenever possible.
