I agree with your comments.Rivian is definitely watching Tesla and following its playbook.
- limited in cabin controls outside of the big screen, check
- direct to consumer approach with no dealers, check
- making your own ui and not supporting carplay/aa, check
- pushing out big performance numbers that 90% of your consumers don't need / won't use, check
- making a high priced product first before moving down market to increase volume, check
I am sure you can add 100 other things to this list. Pretty much the only way Rivian is not following Tesla is by not having an insane CEO. I fully expect price hikes on R1 reservations, the only question to me is if they grandfather existing reservation holders in to the old price when they do so. I am hoping for being grandfathered in, but holding out hope for a lower price / added discounts is more optimism than I can produce.
there are good ideas to leverage/copy for sure.
I also agree with the CEO differences!
