This doesn't look great for Rivian. I didn't know that VW will be able to use Rivian's software if Rivian goes under. Makes me wonder just how vested VW is in Rivian's success, especially considering the fact they are expecting to launch competitive vehicles in just a few years.
Desperate...
Seems like just about every legacy manufacturer is shifting away from the plan to go full on electric in XX years. I see Genesis joined the club recently too, saying that customers want hybrids much more than EVs. Personally, I have no interest in hybrids. I'd rather have straight up ICE or EV...
It seems that poll threads require a vote to see the poll results. That shouldn't be the case for obvious reasons. Can this be easily fixed? It will help provide more accurate poll results if the poll results are visible without voting.
I love the concept of Gear Guard, but I hate Gary. The whole cartoonish thing going on with Rivian lately has gotten worse over time. First it was just a terrible depiction of Gary (what is he exactly anyway?) that looks like it was drawn by a 5-year-old with Crayons. And now we're going to...
Anyone else think that a combination of the R1S and the R2 would make the perfect SUV? I know it's not going to happen, but if I were going to design MY perfect Rivian SUV it would be this combination:
Start with an R1S, but shorten it to be a 2 row vehicle. Otherwise keep the dimensions and...
Just got a flyer in my mailbox for a local landscape company that uses nothing but electric equipment. They have battery powered commerical grade zero turn mowers, as well as Ego brand weedwackers, blowers, smaller mowers, etc... It's an interesting idea. Anyone else have local guys doing...
So I guess the R2 tri-motor will be the hotrod of the Rivian line-up? Or do you think the R3 will be the accleration king if it also gets a tri-motor setup?
Also, no mention of the rear charge port on the R2 during the livestream today?
With Rivian's stock price hovering around $10 - $11, does it make sense to dump a bunch of cash into Rivian stock today or tomorrow and try to catch the theoretical wave that may happen after the R2 reveal? If the leaked specs are correct, it seems like the R2 will be a big winner for Rivian...
I wanted to do some research on the air suspension system used by Rivian, but I can't find much info at all. What do we know about it so far?
Is it a closed system that uses nitrogen in an onboard pressure tank, similar to what Jeep uses?
Or is it an open system that uses ambient air without a...
Does anyone watch EV Dave's YouTube videos? If not, he's an older gentleman who has had (and still has) many EVs including several Tesla vehicles, a Mach E, a Lightning, and also an R1T. I haven't watched his videos lately, but he posted a series of videos recently about road tripping his R1T...
