    So what is up with this company?

    Listen, I think the OP was a bit dramatic, but if we are being objective, communication hasn't been Rivian's forte. If Rivian let the OP place a custom order, then they should have fulfilled it - or cut off custom ordering and not let him do it at all. At the end of the day, Rivian really...

    Possible Fisker Bankruptcy

    To those of you who own an Ocean, I feel for you. I expressed my pessimism about Fisker succeeding, even with Magna as a partner, given how their previous iteration in the automotive industry went, but that doesn't mean I wasn't rooting for them. I was. I just wasn't willing to put skin in the...

    Video: How-to charge Rivian at Tesla Supercharger (by Out of Spec Kyle)

    Somehow Cut-the-Line Kyle took longer to explain plugging into a charger than I did with my realtor signing documents to buy a house...

    Video: How-to charge Rivian at Tesla Supercharger (by Out of Spec Kyle)

    @COdogman you are so right. Except if MKB did this video it would have been less than half the time and infinitely more watchable. Each YouTuber has a choice to make about how to present and then edit their content. Editing is the key phrase here. As in, cutting out extraneous content...

    New Replacement Powered Tonneau Cover broke ...again

    @OP what a bummer! The PTC has been an unmitigated disaster for Rivian and I'm sorry you've been swept up into it as well... Hopefully 3rd time's the charm and your experience proves to be a fluke.

    My First Time Seeing The Rivian R2 @ Electrify Expo Orlando! Including Pictures!!

    Here's the thing. Cost cutting doesn't make sense when you pass the cost to the consumer. Generally, if it is something the consumer wants, they are willing to pay for it. What power up, manual down does is potentially reduce complexity. I am willing to pay for something that isn't a...

    My First Time Seeing The Rivian R2 @ Electrify Expo Orlando! Including Pictures!!

    Thanks for the great video and pictures! R2 looks very sharp. Now we all need to complain to Rivian and make sure they have an option for a power frunk in both directions! This power up but manual down business is incredibly short cited.

    Help me stay bullish

    They can also raise money by issuing shares. This will dilute the value of existing shares, obviously, but that is always an option.

    Help me stay bullish

    Rivan is dependent on volume production and sales of R2 like Tesla was for M3 at a similar point in time in their history. That was and is my only point. Also, Rivian is moving as much in house as they can (see enduro motors) to reduce costs which is the Tesla model.

    Help me stay bullish

    The only hope for Rivian stock at this point is for Rivian to undergo an acquisition - either by a legacy auto manufacturer (paging GM) that needs a pipeline of EVs or a company like Apple, that has cash to burn and abandoned their EV after spending 10B over the last decade. Unless that...

    Should I be worried about RJ? 👀

    That her takeaway from the "one more thing" reveal was wondering about the availability of RJ and not the R2/3 means you should probably start bringing your "A" game more often!

    What about the R2T pickup?

    There is likely a future for R2T if Rivian can survive long enough. The R2 and R3 are aimed at a much larger addressable market of compact SUV/crossovers and Rivian needs VOLUME in order to survive. R2/R3 is the equivalent of M3/MY for Tesla (whose survival came down to the wire). Unless...

    R3X, R3 and R2 driving videos - spotted live @ Laguna Beach

    I am with you. I reserved an R2 but the R3 really intrigues me. I just hope the interior still accommodates someone SASSquatch sized!

    R2 / R3 Hands-on Impressions by MKBHD Marques Brownlee (w/ RJ Scaringe) -- exterior & interior

    Exactly. I will pay. RJ - I will pay!!! I don't understand why they would half ass it?! Who wants to power open their frunk but then have to manually close it? Putting finger prints, smudges and whatever else on the hood, potentially damaging it when you close it? That better be a thicker...

    R2 / R3 Hands-on Impressions by MKBHD Marques Brownlee (w/ RJ Scaringe) -- exterior & interior

    Very surprising reveal. R2 already reserved. Actually even more interested in R3. But.... Um.....power up but not down for the frunk? Rivian, please don't do that!!
