I wonder if we end up in the spot where Scout is VW’s Solterra to Rivian’s bz4x.

Except it would be good.

I’d be into that.

If Porsche ends up putting Rivian drivetrains into their vehicles, that could propel the Rivian brand far.

I'd just be happy with Porsche loaners at the Rivian service centers--an opportunity to cross sell

This is what I expected when I heard. I'm sure VW is helping Rivian with their factory problems as well.

And before anyone makes a joke, my VW ID4 is 3 yrs old and has 50k miles on it. No build quality or reliability issues, and no rattles have developed. From a manufacturing perspective, VW did a really good job.

The Rivian/Porsche combo:

An R1T to tow your GT3R to the track.

Adds to the case for Georgia with potentially scout also being produced there (like the Mazda/Toyota JV in Alabama recently opened).

Have you seen the proposed Bentley EV? It's stunning!
