Im in the long haul with 2000 shares, most of the jobs that will suffer from this economic tightening will be lower income. Those are not the people that are buying 100K vehicles in the first place. Top of the line RAM 1500s like the Limited Version is 82K and TRX is 108K. Quite a few people buy them at that price and use them as grocery getters. Me included. The high end Rivian is to get people to notice them just like Tesla did with the unaffordable Roadster and Model S Plaid. The momentum will be with the everyday R2 platform (if they don't F it up). For crying out loud, Teslas price drops do not affect Rivians market at all. Model S is around 100K, Model X around 115K, Model 3 if you add paint is 63K, Model Y is at 55K and the Model 3 reminds me of a Camry at best and the Y looks like your computer mouse. CyberTruck is still not in production and will not be pulling business from Rivian in the slightest Because of the style. They charge 3K for extra unusable seats to cram your dog in maybe. Model S is sexy but has not change in 10 years, Tired of seeing Tesla and I am sure I am not alone. I would be worried about the RAM REV but that price point for the luxery model is still 100K. I know this sounds like a rant but I am posting it anyway. Take away, don't gamble with money you don't have.
