Jeff: RJ, so....we lost a few capsules.
RJ: And...
Jeff: Need an assist
RJ: Call Elon
Jeff: Who?
RJ: LOL...I gotcha. Need last known GPS and we'll have them by EOD.
Jeff: Van's are great by the way. Thanks again. ?
RJ: Duh, np. ?

Jeff: Actually, one more favor.
RJ: What's that?
Jeff: I'm going to need your VIN 001 R1T. It's going on a rather adventurous trip and it's going to break some records.
RJ: What records? When will we get it back?
Jeff: I'm hoping for fastest EV and largest EV payload to exit earth's atmosphere. And, um, you won't be getting it back unfortunately. It's going interstellar.
RJ: I see. No thanks. We'd rather have the $75K revenue.
Jeff: Why? This will be such great PR.
RJ: I don't need more PR. Have you seen Rivian's Stories? We've got at least 1,000 fanboys on at least one forum. And more importantly, I've got an IPO to manage.

RJ: Hey Jeff, I have an alternate idea for your launch.
Jeff: I'm listening...
RJ: Remember those 1,000 fanboys I mentioned from the Forum?
Jeff: Of course I do! They're AWESOME!
RJ: Well, based on their feedback, I want to honor each of them by sending one R1S 20-inch wheel for each of them out into the Universe with their name engraved on it. Nice, huh?
Jeff: Uh, sure, but at $1,800 each, wouldn't it be a helluva lot cheaper and easier to just send out one R1T into space with all of their names on it? For that matter, send an R1S as well. Do 'em both in Launch Green, just to piss off Elon!
RJ: While that would be fun to show up Elon, my people would not be happy with me knowing two of the vehicles they've been waiting for for years were sacrificed, even as a jab at a guy who calls the Model X an SUV.
Jeff: But they won't be pissed about 1,000 wheels being wasted?!
RJ: Nope. Not pissed, not missed.....
