I did a search and noticed there are >300 R1T's available for immediate purchase in the bay area zip codes.
I asked colleagues and friends in the Bay area, who had voiced real interest in purchasing/leasing a R1T, if they were still interested? Polling of n=12, of which all were in Biotech or IT/high tech. All said No. The main reason given was for (n=5) they recently lost their jobs. Others, worried about the economic situation and cost of a R1T.
The Bay area has been the economic driver for the US. I am seeing in my Field <Botech/Pharma> over 5K in Job layoffs in late 2023 to Jan 2024.
So, the numbers of R1Ts immediately available is a reflection of the job economic insecurity here. Are others seeing the same thing in their regions?
To me, this is something Rivian needs to worry about.
