This is the normal fanuc robot color.

All signs are positive for R2 being on schedule.

I thought it was interesting to hear on the CNBC short that production would begin at the end of this year. That could be incorrect, but it does make a Q1 release at least possible.

Production on that line will begin this year, but saleable units for anyone outside the company will take a while longer.

Technically the blue is not the primary color for brand ID. Yellow is. “Rivian Blue” is just a name made up to represent a paint mix of theirs.

Wow! That is a huge investment!

Kind of makes you wonder why they still have gap/build quality issues in the R1's?

RJ tells a story of how Rivian Blue came to be, it was the color of the existing robots when they purchased the factory in Normal. That's where my comment stems from and was not being serious or technical.

I would be very surprised if it is not Q1. RJ seems to be trying to under promise and over deliver for this launch.

Are people just hearing what they want to hear, not what is actually said? Have we not learned anything from R1 launch and R1 refresh launch? Why does it always have to be a scheme? What if RJ is doing what he's done consistently: giving it straight.

RJ: "In the early part of next year, we’ll transition from non-saleable units. We built a few hundred of those, which we consume internally, to then units that are saleable to consumers."
