Wow my quick math was dumb haha. Thanks for correction

I hope the funds last until the premium trim is available but It says the 135 million are split evenly amongst the participating 13 manufacturers, so each get a million basically. Divide that by 1750, that's basically less than 600 units...

I just don't see how Rivian doesn't participate when Newsome literally signed the bill surrounded by Rivians and made the exemption for CA based companies. He's sure not looking out for Lucid that's for sure.

There is for sure communication between the state gov and Rivian regarding this incentive, especially with the exemption on CA based EV companies. It passing doesn't mean the fund is actually active yet

I wonder how they prove it's first time EV buyers

you would think they're expanding, not shrinking, especially service team. But whatever it takes to get to profitability is good for long term for this company.

if they paused production for that dumb presser, i'll blame them for not getting my R2 a day earlier

HALF the performance colors are "premium" at 2k. Ridiculous. You really gonna make black a premium color? R1 owners are willing to pay for colors but that's a completely different market. All the model Ys on the roads are white for a reason. There will be tons of Esker Silvers on the road. I...

Give me 1 day with the configurator and I'll know exact config I want. People are impatient, half of them will take a preconfig R2 anyways to speed up delivery.

They know folks will love Catalina cove, and made it a premium color

Bet those new Maximus drive units are crazy efficient

He is likely one of the higher ups too. Unless he's just a friend of the exec who was paid/asked to drive across the country to deliver them the car based on factory delivery stipulation...

I believe RJ will put heavy emphasis on quality for the R2, but I'll gladly let the employees take those early vehicles.

I expect their paint pricing will be very similar to how the model Y offers their color.

RWD won't have ventilated seats. That's unfortunate.

These are pricing from a confident company saying bring it on Tesla. These are excellent prices. Great job RJ.

Market share and brand awareness is more important right now than higher margin per vehicle. Once the general public knows rivian, the company will take off.

Great partnership. It'll hopefully help demystify some of the technical stuff behind these EVs and Autonomy technologies. I know some people don't like him from the Luminar "controversy", the dude just did a flawed experiment that hit a nerve with Tesla fans, which can be a culty bunch.

I think it'll be a massive mistake to price it over 60k to launch a mass market vehicle. short term profit isn't worth the potential bad PR on corporate greed. People will understand Launch edition being higher end, but milking every cent out of your customer might not be the move.

Full capacity is three 8 hour shifts. I think they start with 1 shift then ramp up from there. 50-70k is reasonable number to expect.
