Congratulations, I saw one yesterday, my first, it was a lighter color, I was perplexed, very very large and striking because of the modern design compared to everything that surrounded it, in addition to the fact that it is also very pleasant to look at

The upcoming Lucid SUV. But still a year away I think.

"Rivian R1T Is Nearly a Second Quicker with Performance Pack Than without It"
https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a46228137/rivian-r1t-performance-quicker-acceleration-tested/
"Clearly Quicker . . .
Right off the jump, the difference in acceleration was immediately evident. Our Performance-enhanced truck wore 21-inch Pirelli Scorpion Verde all-season road tires, and its launch simply hit harder in Sport mode—hard enough that the first foot of travel only took two-tenths of a second compared to the three-tenths it took to cover the same ground using the milder All-Purpose getaway. This translated to 60 mph in 4.3 seconds for the standard launch versus 3.5 seconds for the Performance in Sport mode.
That harder launch may actually be breaking traction a bit, because the gap is slightly wider in our 5-to-60-mph rolling-start test, which takes 4.7 seconds in All-Purpose but just 3.7 seconds in Sport. After that, 100 mph takes 9.9 seconds in Sport mode instead of 11.6 seconds, and the quarter-mile comparison is 12.2 seconds at 109 mph versus 13.1 seconds at 106 mph."
0-100MPH in under 10 seconds is moving.

"Rivian Stock Plummets 15% After Layoffs Announced!"
www.forbes.com
Shares of electric vehicle manufacturer Rivian fell more than 15% in after-hours trading Wednesday after the company announced it would be laying off 10% of its salaried workforce in response to an increasingly difficult market.
KEY FACTS
Rivian cited “economic and geopolitical uncertainties and pressures” when announcing the 10% staff reduction, and founder and CEO RJ Scaringe said in a press release that while they “firmly believe in the full electrification of the automotive industry,” they recognize the short-term “challenging macro-economic conditions.”
Rivian also announced Wednesday its EV production would be below the forecast, with about 57,000 vehicles being produced in 2024—about the same as were produced last year and below the expected 81,700 vehicles, according to Reuters.
Rivian’s stock closed down around 3.2% at $15.39 on Wednesday afternoon, before tumbling some 17% at times in after-hours trading—as of 6:40 p.m. EST its share price was $13.04, down 15.3% from the close."

Rivian R2 revealed: a $45,000 electric off-roader for the masses
Rivian needs to broaden its appeal if it wants to survive. And the R2 is its best hope.

The R3 is the hottest “One More Thing”.
After this and the Renault 5 imagine VW would make an Golf MK1/2 design hommage instead of the ID.3/4

Rivian is halting construction of its $5 billion Georgia plant to save money
Rivian announced that it's halting production of its $5 billion Georgia plant in order to save money.
I keep my fingers crossed for them. After the big event yesterday I hope they will get more Investors attention to get this plant build.
If this will happen they will be the first real Tesla competitor after BYD being able to meet the demand.
