🛈 What is their main complaint and why haven't they switched to Tesla?JUNK! JUNK AND JUNK! I know all two rivian owners in my state and they are unhappy!
Unsure what to think of your offhand, anecdotal evidence. Over 19k R1Ts were sold in the US in 2023.JUNK! JUNK AND JUNK! I know all two rivian owners in my state and they are unhappy!
Ten-year Tesla owner (S, X, 3, Y) here. Last summer I replaced my 2016 Model X P90D with a Rivian R1S and am very happy.JUNK! JUNK AND JUNK! I know all two rivian owners in my state and they are unhappy!
People said the same thing about Tesla...rivian s goin out of bizness eventually... they will never be profitable...
People said the same thing about Tesla...
I just don't understand the mentality of wishing a company to fail, especially one that seemingly puts out a solid product.
Sounds about where Tesla was at this point in the curve with the Model S and Xcurrently rivian is loosing 30k for every car they sell - build cost 120k, sale price 80k, profit -30k... demand is down, inventory is up, and even with ramping up of production the build cost is still 120k for a foreseeable future... and this is the genius of tesla, they make more they profit more... only tesla...
Exactly. People act as if being a from-the-ground-up automaker is easy to do. It took Tesla YEARS to become profitable, and it'll be the same for Rivian. If I recall correctly, Tesla didn't become profitable until Model 3 production started ramping. Tesla's first full-year profit came in 2020, eight years after the Model S was introduced.Sounds about where Tesla was at this point in the curve with the Model S and X

y all underestimate tesla by comparing tesla to rivian, y all are even worse than the legacy automakers and all the $tsla short sellers who wanted wanted tesla to fail... there is a huge difference between tesla and rivian in terms of - storyline expectations hype fanbase momentum cultpersonality sensationalism etc...Exactly.

Funny how people don't afford Rivian the same grace...
We were really just talking about “loss per vehicle” calculations at a point in time in a developing automotive OEM company history. It’s really a bit of a misnomer - AS IT WAS FOR TESLA until production and operations start to gain momentum and R&D, factory operations, labor footprint have a larger REVENUE base to divide manufacturing costs and operating expense by. Why not jump on LCID as this point, I think their ‘per vehicle loss” is still calculated at ~ $200K+y all underestimate tesla by comparing tesla to rivian, y all are even worse than the legacy automakers and all the $tsla short sellers who wanted wanted tesla to fail... there is a huge difference between tesla and rivian in terms of - storyline expectations hype fanbase momentum cultpersonality sensationalism etc...
tell me what does rivian have besides fancy looking cars... ???
I would ask, where is this data that shows that for RIVN demand is down and inventory is up? I know for the overall EV industry this is the case, but I haven’t seen this actual info for RIVN? I’ve actually read the opposite that their R1S product has seen increased demand and wait times, other than one off cancellations which they make available to buyers later in the queue if they want maybe a different color or options selection?currently rivian is loosing 30k for every car they sell - build cost 120k, sale price 80k, profit -30k... demand is down, inventory is up, and even with ramping up of production the build cost is still 120k for a foreseeable future... and this is the genius of tesla, they make more they profit more... only tesla...

Interested
Ok, so that’s your data? As a publicly traded company I would expect a bit more than that.. inventory trackers, order cancelations, etc.. the Q4 report, which I don’t really have any reason not to believe showed basically in line production and delivery numbers, within ~ 500?go look up rivian ceo earning call q&a session... he dodges and makes up stuff when questioned about increasing invetonry...

Are there other similar anecdotal reports somewhere to back up this claim ?
And, BTW, I goggled what you suggested and came up with nothing. In the entire Q&A there is ONE mention of the word INVENTORY and it doesn’t seem like any sort of dodge and making stuff up and technically it’s not really even ABOUT inventory.. So again, I’m truly interested, but in facts.
