RIVN is forecasted to need another $40bln to reach cash flow positivity in 2026. Inestorās like the cash war chest but they are burning through cash and will need financial markets to be open to raise more money to reach profitability if the forecasts are right. So it makes sense for the stock...
You are correct that they dont list that factor as part of their criteria (https://www.motortrend.com/news/motortrend-car-truck-suv-of-the-year-criteria-explained/). Either way in my mind successfully electrifying one of the worlds most popular trucks has to be a factor.
If we are honest about it the F150 will have a far larger impact on the transition to EVs by the general public than Rivian. The ICE version is the best selling truck in the nation and for many buying the same truck they have always bought but in a well designed EV version will start to make...
Fordās strategy is less risky than Rivian. Itās simply a higher risk strategy betting it all on one customer. Maybe it will turn out for Rivian but the Ford CEO is undeniably right from a risk/reward point of view.
I have this and works well so far: ClipperCreek Level 2 Dual EV Charger, Safety Certified, 32 Amp, 240v, Hardwired, 25ft Cables, J1772, Compatible with All Electric Vehicles, HCS-D40 Home Electric Car Charging Station by Enphase https://a.co/d/gWHfn4r
Rivian should create a specific way to submit feature requests. I think it would be more efficient for their service and customer service areas. My list includes allowing ability to fully turn off brake regen, ability to lock out the tailgate (iām nervous about hitting open butt accidentally...
I put in an order two weeks ago for an r1t and was able to get a truck through shop a week later. I live in an area close to a service center and took what they had (being careful yo ask which truck was actually at the service center location vs in Normal). I think Rivian is doing just fine...
Good olā Lippincottā¦one of the rougher roads I have been on (dont have a ton of offroad adventure experience) but was with a friend in a full size Chevy 4x4 about a decade ago and we ultimately had to turn around because the road got narrow and we had already used our spare tire earlier in the...
Personally I am hesitant to buy a used R1T because I have a sense that a larger portion of the used R1Ts are problematic (sellers are more likely to sell lemons early). I would either wait for one with the specs that you want or take what is available in the Shop.
It would make the biggest difference. Coming from a Tesla and as a new Rivian owners the biggest bummer with the truck is the charging setup. Its night and day in a bad way versus Tesla.
