Then it is not a fact that Rivian has a QC and design flaw problem. It is an opinion based on personal experience.I do not think anybody has verifiable data for this.

Sierra EV, Silverado EV, Hummer, Lightning, etc. It has plenty of competition.The truck is a very special product with almost no competition right now...
Depends on the needs, I do not need a full size truck. But I see your point.Sierra EV, Silverado EV, Hummer, Lightning, etc. It has plenty of competition.
I drove the Silverado the other day for shits. Truck is incredible. Lightning is meh.
I’m in one now as a rental. It’s a solid truck. I appreciate it for what it is. If I needed a full-size again it would be on my listDepends on the needs, I do not need a full size truck. But I see your point.
I need to test drive Silverado
That is my problem - I do not really need a full size truck. But having a house, backyard, etc - a small truck is really useful, and Rivian fits the bill. Dog mode is a must, I have a dog, and use it when I go to super market, or another place.I’m in one now as a rental. It’s a solid truck. I appreciate it for what it is.

It’s enormous, and you feel the weight, but the range is fantastic and it’s got a bit of oomph. This being a rental the base spec interior is decidedly Meh, but hey - CarPlay.
Not the same animal as the R1T though. Not even the same class. Having a bed is about where the similarities end.
They won’t go chapter 9. Someone would buy them. Maybe VW. They have a good product idea. They just have zero OPs leadership.That is my problem - I do not really need a full size truck.

When I was upset with Rivian, I ordered MY Juniper. Did many test drives. Good car, but ... except FSD (that is AMAZING), I can not really say anything exceptional about it. So I probably will not buy it, and just give Tesla my $250 deposit
I am pretty sure Rivian will not survive w/o an additional influx of money. I just hope that it is big enough and someone will take over if they file Chapter 9. They have assets, at least.
Really hope so. 23 billion in dept is not recoverable.They won’t go chapter 9. Someone would buy them. Maybe VW. They have a good product idea. They just have zero OPs leadership.
can you help me here? I can only seem to find about 6B in debt.Really hope so. 23 billion in dept is not recoverable.
they burned 23B to this day. I incorrectly said debt - I meant burned money vs revenue. They is no way they can pay it back.can you help me here? I can only seem to find about 6B in debt.
They can start by stopping the stupid shit they’ve been doing lately. They can’t keep continuing this behavior like they’ve got Tesla money. SXSW, and orange juice partnerships as examplesthey burned 23B to this day. I incorrectly said debt - I meant burned money vs revenue. They is no way they can pay it back.
Call them and ask for an early appointment. In most cases, you will get one.Spend the money on service centers...
Honestly, at this point I thinking buying was the right option for me. It put a lot less money at risk if things go sideways financially at Rivian. I am hoping that won't happen but have 60k at risk is a lot better than 110k.
The cost of fixing the production QC issues at the service center, along with loaner vehicles must be killing them. How soon until they really tighten up on that?
We all understand what the impact of all the R2s could be on the service network. If service isn't scaled up, and QC is an issue, it will all implode.
As someone relatively new to the community, I read through some of the issues but didn't fully understand the extent of the problem until I owned one. I just scheduled another service appointment a week ago and I am somewhere in July to get in. About 14 weeks!
I feel they mostly come with steering wheel alignment (and in many cases actual wheel alignment) off. Mine came off and was fixed by SC.Only issues I noticed was the steering alignment was slightly off and it was pretty squirly on 20" ATR.
