Amazon is a big plus for Rivian and for our chances of getting R1s sooner rather than later.
Amazon's investment may well have brought in other big investors, who figured that if it's good enough for Bezos.... Additionally, it seems likey that a lot of the early attention for Rivian was due to the fact that Bezos spoke positively of the company and put big money where his mouth was.
All that money made it possible for Rivian get to where it is now. Without Bezos and the aura that comes with his support, would Rivian be anywhere near as close to delivering R1s as it is?
I'm as eager as anyone to get an R1. I hate the thought of vans taking priority over my R1S. But I don't know the facts. I do believe Scaringe is doing what he thinks will get the most R1s to the most customers in the least amount of time while still keeping Rivian strong.
