The shareholder good news is not always the same as reservation holder good news. Interior color situation tells the share holder Rivian is willing to do what it takes to get as many R1s out the door as fast as they can. To me ironing out the quality control issues and fixing design problems with OTA as fast as possible is very important. In this market any EV will sell but a few years down the road when market is crowded, reputation will be Rivian’s distinguishing asset. The way CS and QC works today tells me as a company they are not a well oiled machine yet. How they do in 22 (not how the stock does) will say a lot about how they do long term. If less than 3% of R1Ts and R1Ss delivered in December of this year generate a service call within the first two months, I say future of the company is in good shape regardless of how many they deliver this year or how badly the stock does in 22.If they announce bad results the stock will be $25 or lower. They currently have no good news to announce. The recent delays with interior colors has not helped. It just looks like a great design company that cannot deliver anything on time. You almost wish that a major car brand would buy the company and get control of the manufacturing process. They have the best Truck out there but all of their other issues are taking the company down.
