  1. Upcoming Gen 2 R1S incentives? Order now or wait it out?

    I think so. December is consistently and almost always the best time to buy with the strongest incentives available in the auto world. I'm waiting it out until Dec myself. We'll see what happens.
  2. New $3K Rivian Discount For Owners with Gas/Hybrid Vehicles (Until Nov 30)

    Latest incentive. Introducing All-Electric Upgrade Offer From now until the end of November, purchase a 2025 R1S or R1T Dual or Tri from R1 Shop and you can save $3,000 USD. All you need to do is provide proof of ownership or lease of your current hybrid or gas-powered vehicle and take...
  3. Bloomberg: "Cracked Skull, Fractured Bones Show Dangers at Rivian's Factory"

    Negative press, whether accurate or not, hits harder when Rivian is already struggling. It’s tough to watch these issues pile onto their mounting challenges.
  4. Rivian Cabin Filter Performance (OEM vs Aftermarket) Engineering Analysis - Impartial 3rd Party Review

    Thank you for the detailed reply. It all makes sense. While reading through it, I couldn't help but to think about my homes HVAC filters. We tend to use a higher Merv rated filter during the Allergy season and a lower Merv filter during the winter. The air flow is quite noticeable even between...
  5. Rivian Cabin Filter Performance (OEM vs Aftermarket) Engineering Analysis - Impartial 3rd Party Review

    Thank you @R1Thor for taking the time to test these. A couple questions. So the Rivian OEM cabin filter has limitations due to the poor sealing, which would have made any tests done with it in regard to air flow flawed from the get go correct? Would you be able to retest just the OEM filter...
  6. 2025 R1S Dual Max Review by Motortrend: Almost Perfect

    It's nice to see some positive press. Great SUV. In my opinion the most versatile SUV one can buy, making it simply the best that there is out there right now.
  7. Rivian's Road Ahead: Is the Adventure Predictable or Risky?

    Look at the one that is getting emotional. Double standard much? You're tripping all over yourself and it's clear for everyone to see. You're scared to see the real issues at hand and always dodging the reality. It's quite incredible. The clear issue here is that you have utterly failed to...
  8. Rivian's Road Ahead: Is the Adventure Predictable or Risky?

    The feeling is mutual. The thing is, almost everything that you're saying is far out there and it seems like you're just diverting away from seeing the reality. Your responses come across as always trying to justify something to shy away from the topic at hand. It's a mind twist. Ex. To say...
  9. Rivian's Road Ahead: Is the Adventure Predictable or Risky?

    Sink cash into overhead? This is money already being spent on an overhead (yes, Rivian Spaces are an overhead too) so it would be diverting funds from that into Service Centers instead, not sinking more out of pocket cash. This point should have been very obvious to see. Where did you get the...
  10. Rivian's Road Ahead: Is the Adventure Predictable or Risky?

    Minimum service centers? That's how you'd run your business? It's okay for customers to be a little frustrated over service times, just not so angry that they wind up leaving the brand? I don't even know what to say, but I disagree with everything that you've said. We obviously have two very...
  11. Rivian's Road Ahead: Is the Adventure Predictable or Risky?

    People with tablets getting customer information in a glorified stagnant location justifies poor spending? How's that working out for Rivian? How's it working out in general with Rivian? Did you watch the 2nd video in the OP? What are your thoughts? The whole point of what I was trying to say...
  12. Rivian Miscalculation & Miscommunication With Supplier Triggered Parts Shortage (Copper Windings For Motors)

    Breath of fresh air. Nice seeing others who can see things for what it is and not be clouded by emotions.
  13. Rivian's Road Ahead: Is the Adventure Predictable or Risky?

    Aren't all the deep dives from both ends being done with publicly available information, including your side of the argument? -- Which would mean that your opinion wouldn't be cutting it either? In my opinion, we don't need internal numbers to determine if the amount of money spent on the...
  14. Rivian's Road Ahead: Is the Adventure Predictable or Risky?

    I'm convinced that if they were to take the budget for just one of those Rivian Spaces and put it toward weekly events at different venues/locations, there would be a ton of money left over. There are way better and more efficient ways to market. Imagine a Rivian event of some kind happening...
  15. Rivian's Road Ahead: Is the Adventure Predictable or Risky?

    I think they'll survive too. As for the Rivian Spaces though I think that's a huge waste of money where they could be better allocating those funds to Service Centers where we need it the most right now. Imagine what the annual operating costs are for these spaces? Especially in the bigger...
  16. Rivian's Road Ahead: Is the Adventure Predictable or Risky?

    Figured I'd mix it up a little and do something different from the norm. This is a deep topic with many layers and it'll be interesting to see the results as it populates.
  17. [Gen 1 R1S Quad Motor] vs [Gen 2 R1S Standard LFP]

    Pretty good plan. Thanks. Glad it brought some value. When I was asked this the first time it really made me think, "Huh...hmmm, this is a good one," but after the second person asked on a completely different occasion then it really-really made me think. Yikes and that Tesla price drop. I...
  18. Rivian's Road Ahead: Is the Adventure Predictable or Risky?

    Q3 was the Voucher quarter. Q4 was coined to be the true test, but things have shifted. Will Q4 produce enough organic sales? Thoughts? At a cash burn rate of $5B a year, how much time does that buy us? (Rhetorical on purpose as there's an answer to this.) Nice to see an example of it being...
