We'll see, but I would hold onto your house keys for now.
Rivian's entire playbook right now is about survival and scaling. They will do whatever lowers manufacturing costs while maintaining margin. R1 volume, .both because of current macroeconomic conditions and its luxury price point, is...
Not until at least 2029, R2 is the priority , When the GA plant is open and can handle much of the R2 manufacturing demand. I could see them revamping Normal to build the next gen R1s with the cost savings and hardware they learned for R2.
Also, I could see the R1 platform going the route...
2nd row leg room in the S is better than the T , and with the shorter wheelbase, it is what it is. With the T selling so poorly, would be cool if they used that frame to introduce a R1L. But they need to get the cost down otherwise I can see that platform being abandoned.
Yeah for what i have seen it looks great. I like the uniqueness of it. I just wonder if over time, having a purple car will not age well. Not that the paint is lower quality or anything, just that our personal preferences change with the times.
You're making false equivalents for the sake of arguing.
Influencers are not the same as these other 1099 workers you rally for. They "buy" the product with the explicit purpose of profiting from the product and are generally not completely honest as they want to maintain their connections...
Catalina Cove is going to be hugely popular. I think the LG (depending on what they charge) would be my pick. I have a FG R1S and the color is great, I would get that again. Black, White are two i would never get and the purple i don't know about.
LOL .... People who purchase for the purpose of making revenue generating content, can write off the depreciation as a business expense are not "real" customers. Real customers are when the company is confident enough to mass produce and deliver to some random family who use it for real world...
I agree, having good ADAS is key to bettering a long road-trip or even just for typical high way driving. I just don't know that i want or see a need for FSD. UHF, Bluecruise , supercruise are the sweet spot in my opinion, which is why i was so unhappy with with how Rivian overpromised and...
I couldn't care less what Tesla does. Many new products across multiple industries do this, I get it. My point is while amazing work by rivian for the teams for hitting this milestone. But after employees, the next run will go to influencers and media outlets and then the gates will open...
I get it, I just don't see a huge group of people who want to add their (unpaid) commute time to their work schedule. I find driving relaxing, if other can use FSD to relax, great! . We'll see what the market decides, it's being positioned as life changing and for the average person I don't...
They should be more clear, these are INTERNAL Customer deliveries, not true customer deliveries. Still huge milestone and good for them for hitting the timeline they promised wall street
FSD is is really cool, The fact that the tech is to the level to do the things it does is amazing. That said.. it's still a gimmick, it adds very little real world benefits. I have a buddy who bought a Tesla as his first EV, he loves it finally understands why I've been driving EVs so. He...
