I've had my R1S for 12 days. Most days I've only driven short distances -- 2-3 mile trips and my efficiency numbers look abysmal -- around 1.7-1.9 mi/kWH. On some longer drives it hovers in the 2-2.2 range. This is in the Bay Area which currently has moderate weather (44-64F) in All-Purpose...

Would the notes be priced at current stock price (~$17)? I wonder why they couldn't wait for stock to recover a bit before the announcement.

Do they break down cost of revenue from capital expenditure? I thought the 220K was calculated on gross loss (i.e. before capex).

I just watched this video and was really concerned for two reasons: 1. Does this over-engineering make it hard for Rivian to control cost? They cannot keep spending $220K to build these vehicles. Sure they can improve process with scale but at the end of the day are they going to be limited due...
