totally agree with your wife. i work in comms and operations for a software company and there is definitely major signs of dysfunction and poor cross-functional organization OR its completely by design. not sure whats worse.I spoke to CS yesterday because I was in the original July/September window and have not heard anything. I see a lot of April/May window people being told November time frames and wanted to get a confirmation it'll be 2023 since I assumed it was basically just shifting everything right. They told me it's entirely possible I will be moved up to the same new window as people who were originally moths ahead of me. CS said proximity is being weighted heavier than in the last set of estimates and California in general is sitting pretty high on all the metrics they weigh. I am only about 20 minutes from the South SF SC, so I guess we will see this week.
My wife runs operations for a startup in SF and thinks Rivian communications and CS leadership is completely dysfunctional. She said generally you need to have the communications in final draft form when you send out something saying you will provide an update over the next two weeks. All indicators point to poor cross functional communication between planning and the comms team. It also doesn't make any sense that they didn't send out any communication they would not delivery on time by 3+ months until after they completely missed the entire April/May window and were telling May folks up through the final week they were delivering to customers and no change. There is a level of incompetence here that is stunning... they should know well before May wk 5 you are pushing initial customer deliveries to September. Component delivery commitments and line planning doesn't happen days in advance of actual input.
I completely agree with your wife about this....

Theory: They're big fat fibbers...Why is it that one needs a World Bank interpreter to figure out a piece of Rivian correspondence?
