    Transparency with customers.

    Not to a consumer base I don't, but the practice of it amongst different workforces that involve technical work, has shown it improves efficiency, productivity, better relationship to objective/factual information creates less needless dialogue or misinterpretations. In my experience in...

    Transparency with customers.

    I've openly stated in the past and present with multiple manufacturers that they would benefit from having some weekly transparency and technical clarification dialogue with it's customers. IDK what's going on in the heads of individuals running the customer experience but I sure hope it gets...

    WSJ: Rivian’s Great EV Expectations Meet the Harsh Reality of Manufacturing (pay wall)

    With that being said, I think the industry isn't giving Rivian a fair shot with supply backing but thats my opinion

    WSJ: Rivian’s Great EV Expectations Meet the Harsh Reality of Manufacturing (pay wall)

    🤔, If only "......", I wouldn't entirely make a blanket ideology over a isolated example, there's more trade and resources that demonstrate a company's capabilities, I mean the I3 production was one of the cleanest vehicles produced(urrgrrmm solar/wind power factory),. it's a matter of the...

    The clientele base for those vehicles aren't quite under the same umbrella, VW bought other brands and incorporated into their flagship vehicles, Audi, Bugatti, etc, Ford bought Aston Martin etc

    I get that forsure, I will say the Aptera safety figures are worth a overlook tho, I mean 😆, I get that forsure, they gotta be safe or it's a NO-GO forsure, to me it seems like being in a Formula 1 car or just wishful thinking haha

    🎯, There is a EV company working with a RTR being present before it hits the road. Full disclosure, I'm a bit biased because of other EV manufacturers because it can be done,and should be, there is a vehicle manufacturer that's gna do it but it is strictly transportation so it's makes sense...

    I wouldn't go as far as to say that it's intentional but a by product of supply and demand, but I'd say different manufacturers have different priorities with different vehicle classes, an S class prioritizes user experience feedback, ride, comfort as opposed to cost of ownership. They do not...

    My apologies if that came off offensive, it was what the overall message received by the implications of what you were stating. It wasn't meant to be confrontational but more so based off of an understanding that is built off of a generalization that IMO having worked behind different curtains...

    It's come to my attention that Rivian HAS and IS monitoring this Profile. Just something I feel should be known for anyone reading this forum just for full transparency.

    I wouldn't entirely bet on it (opinion). Just because a website shows corporate partners doesn't quite mean it's "building partnership dynamic" as you say, we have to remember those with boots in the ground are not always the ones behind the websites and key boards. That's just reality. TSB are...

    Agree on multiple levels, I see it as being a byproduct of driving consumerism for the sake of profit, this hits environment on a very very deep level. I think RTR also hits holes of trade/purchasing secrets where one can see the mark up of "X", as opposed to cost of building "X", inflation and...

    I 100% support right to repair on all fronts for all vehicles. I've heard the stories and seen the by products of closed off service to the public. I've been in the industry for 14 yrs, 5 has been EV specific and I think honestly, in the most respectful way, consumers have lost the ability to...
