Expect delays and hope for the best.

I think it will drop further, well below the IPO price. This is a long term play.

I bow to your superiorness!!!! It must be great being you.

You are saying that there is a production hell but it is not called that? We must live on different planets because I know it is called production hell and it most certainly exists. To be clear production hell is not a typical period with normal manufacturing challenges.

You really are ignorant(not meant as an insult) of how things work, especially manufacturing. Working 60-80hrs/wk, under constant stress and pressure for weeks on end is mostly certainly production hell and it happens all the time. As an engineer for 38+ yrs I have been in production hell all...

Ain’t full either. How long have they been sitting there. Probably the 266 undelivered vehicles.

I realize that. I was hoping to help you understand how highly technical complex manufacturing works.

I agree that JIT’s inherent weakness has been exposed and will hopefully be modified.

Goals and estimated capabilities made for the purpose of promoting Rivian to share holders based on optimistic ideal conditions. Does not reflect current reality(parts supply, labor shortage, production issues, management and many more). Missing those goals will not break Rivian as long as...

Old 2nd hand information that does not reflect current reality.

I agree!

Rivian reported 652 as of 12/15/21. 5 day work weeks comes out to 65 working days = 10 per day give or take. 266 of the 652 are undelivered. Rivian will miss their year end goal of 1200 by 400-500. They reported supply and production issues as causes for the miss. Rivian will get better but...

Rivian has way more pre orders than it can fill in a reasonable period of time, so when will Rivian follow Ford’s lead and close pre ordering?

Rivian’s delivery date estimates will of course be best guess subject to change without notice. I don’t think they will just make up dates. I would be interested in seeing the daily production numbers to-date. It would be instructive to know what their best output in a day was. I am sure the...

I wonder what Bezos thinks of GM beating Rivian to mass production of the FedX EV vans?

ChrissyOne: “Taking this as a sign that the wheels are coming off is just nonsense. “ Today’s reported results are disappointing, not unexpected and certainly not a sign the wheels are coming off. Rivian’s cautious methodical production ramp due to Amazon’s influence is pure speculation. RJ...

Now that I agree with. My point was that expectations of early deliveries does not line up with reality and in the short to mid term Amazon can not help to any significant amount. In the long term (3-5 yrs)Amazon’s money and advice will help Rivian to succeed. We need to be mindful to...

Finacial Control is not the short to mid term issue for production. The current team, which is still incomplete and clearly not up to speed is the sticking point.

I was not worried about my wait for my R1T until today’s financials. I was hoping for delivery (3/21/22 pre order) by mid to late 2023 but I am thinking more like mid 2024.
