If you wait until they are profitable you’ll be in line with everyone else and the price per share will be 5 or more times what it is today. You only make real money taking risks. I think now is an AMAZING time to start or keep buying shares. IMO the price is at the bottom and if Rivian keeps getting better the stock will make you great profit. Profits can go to a down payment on a Rivian!

​@@rf14dmb well put. If you wait till they're almost profitable you'll have missed out on much of the gains currently not priced in due to risk. I've already average down but am considering adding more at these levels. I'm thinking about this as a 5+ year investment, not a short term trade.

I've been working at Rivian for about 2 years now, at the Normal, Illinois plant. This is where all the R1T and R1S vehicles are produced. It's quite astonishing to realize that I was present to witness the first-ever R1T rolling off the production line. I even had the privilege to sign the hood of that vehicle, which now proudly hangs at the entrance. I've had a few conversations with RJ on the plant floor, and I must say, he's the most down-to-earth person you could ever meet. On a remarkable note, I've even had the opportunity to shake hands with Jeff Bezos during his visit. I'd like to extend my gratitude to all of you for your support!

We even got to use one of the first RAN sites on the east coast (Augusta). Best vehicle we have ever owned. Lastly, rooting for and supporting RJ was our primary reason for waiting and purchasing a Rivian. Never lose that ethos, RJ.

RJ is very likable. I can’t imagine the pressure he must be under. The product sells itself as it is just so good. It is now a question of scale - can Rivian scale up enough to become profitable. Right now it is loosing money on every R1T and R1S. That is normal (same happened with Tesla for years) but with luck Rivian can grow enough to have healthy profit margins. I wish it the best of luck.

I don't want CarPlay because "CarPlay is better than OEM" - I want CarPlay because it allows me to have consistent UI experience across all my vehicles, and to support features and services outside what the vehicle OEM offers. Sure, Rivian offers their own maps, but what if I want to use Waze? Sure, Rivian offers TuneIn, but what if I want Apple Music? What if I want services Rivian doesn't offer at all like Zoom? CarPlay is a lot faster to add things than built-in services. I don't want to rely on the carmakers to add things. It creates inconsistent experiences. CarPlay means a consistent experience across vehicles. I've had multiple CarPlay vehicles, and I've had a Tesla and a Rivian. Yes, Tesla and Rivian's built-in systems are better than Ford and BMW and Subaru's; and some features are arguably better than CarPlay; but CarPlay is consistent and reliable across Ford and BMW and Subaru. And CarPlay can do things that neither Tesla nor Rivian can do. Adding CarPlay doesn't make your system worse. Just add CarPlay and give people the choice.
@trajanfpv
@trajanfpv Жыл бұрын
Thank you! Could not agree more. Not adding it and saying that it is so that they can get better is a lame excuse. Add Carplay AND continue to make your UI better, when the Rivian UI is better than Carplay, then we will use it more, but until then just add it and show that Rivian is listening.

Peter Rawlinson used to sound like a humble genius and now he comes across as just full of it. Lucid was supposed to be high quality and not have any production difficulties because they were supposed to be taking their time bringing it out and doing it right. Turns out, prototypes are easy, production is hard, good software is harder, and they were just being slow and fiscally wasteful. Lucid's executives are all WAY overcompensated. Talk is cheap. Execution or lack thereof speaks louder. I would love to see MKBHD interview Aptera's CEO.

Let customers choose and if the native solution is better we will use it. As of now, the native maps are not nearly as good as Waze. It's missing many audio apps (Apple Music, KZbin Music).

That was a lot of fun and I'm impressed by RJ's savvy. He's obviously a really smart guy! The one thing I cant agree with is the decision not allow Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Two things: for $90k+, I should really be able to decide how I want to use the center console and second, it's a huge turn-off to potential customers. Just look at the controversy surrounding GMC's decision to not allow CarPlay in future vehicles. A lot of people are basically going, "Well, I just won't buy one then". And unfortunately, I'm with them.

Agree. RJ mention that the R2 platform is going to be more for the global market, I hope that Rivian brings the R2 to Australia before the end of the decade. The R2S should have a size similar to a 4-door Jeep Wrangler.

RJ, thank you so much for making such a fantastic vehicle. I own quite a bit of stock and am taking delivery of my R1S Aug-Sep. I can’t wait. I live in Salida Co and off road every week. I will definitely be putting this 4x4 to the test. I would love to have four wheel locker. I am no programmer so I am not sure how difficult this would be, but assuming each wheel has a wheel speed sensor, I would think you could write a program stating all wheels must spin at the same speed. The off road ability of this SUV is of the upmost importance to me. Off road in luxury! Thanks so much! I think creep is nice btw The flashlight and speaker is great for me camping every weekend.

Rivian having its own charging network could be a much bigger deal than realized.

What I’m saying, Rivian makes high quality products with proven demand (go out in a big tech city and walk around I guarantee you’ll see one) they have the GA plant now. Time to ramp up production and get profitable

I felt claustrophobic for them. Unless the AC is silent, they did this interview with no circulating air 🥵 Great interview 🤗

12:18 RJ is a winner. That's the response of someone who wins. May sound strange but there is value in not giving people the experience they want. After a while, it all feels stale. Every Android no matter who makes the device generally feels the same to me. Every iPhone, yeah. It doesn't need to be that way and I think Rivian keeping their chef in-house only adds to the prestige, instead of relegating them to fast-auto, like fast-fashion. Tbh my car should be another device I own, on its own. My phone is a pleb by comparison, it has no business controlling my car's personality.

I use the speaker all the time. You can plug it in and use it as a main speaker. Whenever i travel to friends or airbnb Rivian speaker is always on. I'm glad it is the size and the quality it is.

Enjoyed the podcast. Hope the future compute platform mentioned includes building on the solid 42:46 QNX foundation with embedded cybersecurity and Amazon AWS BlackBerry IVY cloud services like tailored insurance coverage. Waiting on my R1S soon. Very exited for this new adventure.

That speaker idea is magnificent! Twice have I bought a wireless speaker because I had forgotten mine at home while on vacation! So, for me is a plus!

I have some ideas for Rivian. - R1V: A mini van - R1C: A regular sedan (similar to the Toyota Corolla) - R1S-XL: A larger version of the R1S (similar to the GMC Yukon XL) - A semi-truck - A UHaul size truck - An RV service (both ready-made RVs and a custom RV service) - R1M: A motorcycle - R1A: An ATV

Hey RJ, Thanks for your time/interview with MKBHD Not sure if you read these comments. But it would be really nice to see an affordable SUV or van for road tripping. I know 4x4ing is big, but I imagine there are lots of people that at most only want to travel on roads and occasionally role into a campsite. I think of the ID BUZZ as a possible example - That thing looks fun. Just my 2 cents. Thanks for all you do.
