Okay, all of you amazing people so much smarter than me with all of this; my next deposit cleared with fidelity (finally), the question now becomes buy tomorrow, Thursday, or Friday?
No one can predict the future, but you all have proven to be much more accurate than me lol!
Yes, leading into options expiry on a Friday afternoon. On a Tuesday though? Rather suspect.
On one hand, I am super excited about the current stock price, on the other the fact that some of my LEAPs are down 15% over the past two days leaves me wondering and slightly apprehsive about what someone(s) is cooking up.
Thermal paste and cooling channels in the bottom of the pack. At 2:21I found this video somehow (it's not publicly searchable), and I can see no cooling system inside the pack. Only at the one side of the pack?
I have some experience with Rivian - they make Tesla look organized. Behind the taut styling is a company sorely looking for organization, communication protocols and identity. I hope they succeed. I won't invest at $80B valuation.Motortrend, by saying the Rivian is the first EV pickup to actually hit the market, had me wanting one to fill the gap until I can take delivery of a Cybertruck. I actually think it will be a good vehicle as long as it's reliable which is a big question mark. So, I looked at the price to see how much I might lose on resale value when my Cybertruck came up. But the price just said "$67,500-$73,000 (est)". How can it be the first pickup to hit the market when they don't even know the price? When I buy it can my cashier's check just say "around $67,500 to $73,000"? So I guess it's not "on the market" yet.
Then I realized the hard part is mass production. When could I actually buy one? The final straw that completely collapsed my excitement was watching the MT staff operate the touchscreen. Maybe one of you early Model S owners can comment but it looked to me to have more lag than the original 2012 Model S that drove some owners crazy. It looked like the reviewers did everything they could hide the screen lag but it still came through when scrolling and zooming out on the map (3:15 on the video). When the center screen operates every function as it does on Tesla's, it's imperative that the screen is responsive! Maybe they will have a new computer in there by the time they make the first deliveries but this seems like something they would already be on top of. After all, Tesla came out with the Model 3 in late 2017 and the screen was super responsive. So they have had plenty of time to solve that problem.
I'm not trying to bash as I want Rivian to succeed, it just seems like they have a huge uphill battle ahead of them. I don't have a reservation so I don't think it's realistic to think I could get one before my Cybertruck is ready (even though my reservation is estimated to be 40K+ in line). It looks like Rivian already has a Service Center in Bellevue, WA where we picked up both of our Model 3's, only an hour or so away. Maybe I'll put a $1000 reservation deposit down and see what happens?

Agreed. Worked there, have some options vested. I think they will do well, but def not valued >1/10th TSLA. Will be cashing out asap and putting into TSLA.I have some experience with Rivian - they make Tesla look organized.

WowTeehee….

Are you guys getting that hwy cruise penalty? Mine is about 5% from a LR RWD from 2018 and I have ran multiple 240 miles round trips @ 75mph.Wow
Sad performance by most. Amazing that the Audi e-tron only gets 180 real world miles from 95 kwh!
