Rivian Electric Truck - MKBHD Impressions

[987654321]

I saw the SUV one on 85 S, around Sugarloaf, the other day. I had just gotten off work, and was kind of irritated that the driver was going so slow in the second to leftmost lane. It looked nice from behind, I didn’t like the front so much. I hope they put Tesla in a headlock.

I see them on the regular out here in Washington. They look really nice in person.

The R2 looks nice, but 2026 is a long time away, and the EV landscape will be very different when it actually goes on sale.

MKBHD is becoming big tech's goto shill. I believe if a manufacturer provides access to their product to less than a certain number of reviewers (50?), then reviewers must label their review as "Promotion".

Others waited too late so now Tesla is the industry standard. You can't even get a Model 3 off the lot.

And that Tesla supercharger network is a huge advantage.

Their stock is going to blow up circa 2027-2028. As long as they can continue to find ways to reduce their cash burn in order to ramp up & scale mass production

They have to survive until 2026 when the R2 hits the streets, I think big investors that already own major stake like Amazon will keep them alive & continue funding. Some even speculate Apple can be at play…

I’m buying shares now while they’re beatdown

I sold my shares right before they made the R2 announcement. I suck at picking stocks

Mines 62 miles, round trip. The only good part is I’m going north in the morning so I avoid the worst parts of traffic both ways. Pleasant hill and Buford Dr suck though. You can barely go faster than 25 once it’s past 6:30am.

Starting in 2024, Rivian owners will also be able to charge at over 12,000 Tesla Supercharger locations.​

Lots of automakers are saying this, but I haven't see any non Tesla's yet at the Superchargers here in Georgia or SC yet. And this new Rivian won't be out for 2 damn years.

the only places that i've seen non Tesla Supercharger access is Cali.

I like that Rivian truck (preordered the Cyber but Elon fukkboi ass is lunching on that price), but the Rivian truck is just as high. I'm not paying 80 bands.
