And a close second: do we get a 5% discount for using the Amazon Store card?
*cackle*

5% discount and if I buy it on Amazon.com, do I also get 5% back? ...and wouldn't shipping be free via Prime (no Delivery Charge)?

...jus' sayin'...

I'll get my affiliate link for the R1T and post it here so I can get some referral money from everyone that buys through the l ink! :)

This video may help explain some of the delays on release. If they lost half of their compute cluster in-house, you can't get server gear, like she stated in the video (sorry, missed the Rivian employee name) for many months. A transition to AWS would still take time to agree to do, setup, implement and test. Who knows how much that would impact the timeline, but everything has a cascading effect.

Might explain the link on reddit for programmer job postings. Was mentioning aws specifically. They may not even have the talent inhouse yet.

At least with their Amazon relationship, getting support should be painless.

They could've made Stan drive the "Amazon pickup" to make it more realistic ??

The video from Rivian dated Feb '21 said 14 months with the current CTO working on AWS. Every young dev has AWS skills in their stack, it's not rocket science. The critical skills are security – that's a much more difficult knowledge to acquire in part because it's in such high demand.

The real question is how long before we can just order an R1T on Amazon?
Yea, would like that sweet 5% back on my Amazon Visa! ?
