I guess what I disagree with is the use of the term vaporware, I do not think Rivian meets that definition.

I think you misunderstand the term vaporware. It doesn't mean "not yet delivered." This company has multiple trucks and mules on the road, an enormous factory that they're expanding, and a qualified staff with funding.
What you mean is "pre-release".

Rivian is going to do what Tesla has done, they will set up service centers in various locations and do mobile service at your home or business.
I haven't heard any news on this yet. Someone on a Rivian forum found some job listings in different cities (Philly, DC, for instance) but I don't know that those mean anything.
Here’s the list you are referring to.
Rivian Service Centers / Retail Locations List / Other Facilities
Records from what I’ve seen do show that Rivian has purchased some of these locations as far as I know.
Yeah, that’s the one. I try not to link to other forums from TMC (per the Terms of Service) but I’m sure this is relatively benign.
Really, that’s a terms of service? I wonder if it’s enforced for occasional things like this which are informative. I mean, TMC is never going to be THE place for Rivian news, especially as we start getting some news.
I don't think it is exactly, there are two terms, but I don't think either apply here:
TespaceX wasn't advertising a commercial endeavor.
TespaceX wasn't trying to gain traffic to the other site, they was just linking to information people here might be interested in.

@Cosmacelf wasn't the one linking it, @TespaceX was. And as I mentioned, it's benign in this case. I just know (from my personal experience) that linking to other EV forums is at least skirting with #21, and links to those been removed in the past.
I mean, I'm moderating this subforum and I wasn't going to move it. But I also like to (try to) set an example that it is more on the safe side of the Terms. Mostly, I only mentioned it because I didn't want readers thinking I was being lazy in my original post. I had a reason not to include the link, whether good or bad.
Whew! That was a close one. I had visions of being carted away in virtual handcuffs to the TMC jailhouse! I’d like to thank ohmman for the alibi and your paper bag with crisp $100 bills will be delivered soon.
It is interesting that Jeep™ is building some L2 sites at recreational off-road areas as we speak, but ...
WTF? What good is a L2 charger except for overnight stays? And then you need several of them to support BEVs.
Yes, Jeep is only releasing a PHEV at this time, but they will be releasing BEV in the future.
Concern the TMC hyperlink issue, according to their rules, you can't post an Amazon or Twitter link for a tech article. A little common sense is more effective than censoring tech content. That has killed a lot of Enthusiast Forums. TMC's real competitor will be FaceBook and Twitter who desire to 'steal' readership.

as noted earlier, if you are hiking on a trail for many hours recharging on an L2 can easily add 100+ miles to the car, so it is far from pointless to install an L2 at locations like that.
the problems arise when someone hogs the unit for an opportunity charge and leaves it plugged in for hours after completing the charge.
It is better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick, but it is not something you could plan on using, hence defeating the purpose of extending your range to explore trails with your 4x4 EV. Fireroads consume roughly 3x the urban rating.

I certainly do not see me in my taycan on any fire roads, my comment was about someone charging and hiking
I could be wrong, but I believe the Jeep sites and perhaps some/all Rivian sites will be for accessing OHV trails.
