My channel started in 2006, because everyone goofed around with one. But it became a REAL channel in 2019 when I went independent and made it the primary spot for my content.
Nice overview Brian. Rivian knocked it out of the park. R3 looks like a great all rounder. Love it. I really want this company to succeed. Such a tough space, but they are working hard.
The R3X was the ultimate surprise. Reminiscent of the original VW Golf GTI. What some call a "hot hatch" or "pocket rocket." But with off-road chops to boot. Looks like as much fun as one can possible have in a relatively affordable daily driver.
Sorry but you need to go to Detroit in the 60’s when dropping rear windows were standard on station wagons. If u drove with it down you sucked in awful exhaust fumes.
Thanks for including the R2 dimensions. It'll be interesting to see if they can bring it to market at that price. Any idea if it'll qualify for the tax credit if it's still around?
they absolutely nailed the design. I'll definitely be selling and moving to an R2. I've been wanting to get into one but the price has just been too high. Let's all hope they can get profitable because they will give Tesla a run for their money, designwise.
Prototype is easy, mass production is hard. Rivian is almost banckrupt. They need a lot of money to put R2 and R3 in the market at a decent price. I gave them max 10% to succeed this
The big question is does Rivian have enough cash to stay in business until these cars are ready? They are loosing $30,000 on each car they deliver right now. 😬
The small/powerful form factor like the R3 is really what most EV should be! EV can not drive too far, gas car can easily drive 500 miles with one fill, it does not make any sense to try to make it so big, the weight is higher, the battery is larger, the cost is higher, it is why EV these days are so expensive. What EV is great at is lowering commute cost and weekends camping/surfing, which takes 90% of the usage. Leave the long road trip to your already have gasolines car/SUV before 800V fast charge is everywhere
Hmmmm. Big display of the "Adventure Network" looks suspiciously like they "Copied someone elses homework"? And they STILL put the port on the wrong corner.
There is no air compressor in R2, they didn't open up R3 but the assumption would be no since they are the same platform. I forgot to include that. They did not mention top speeds. Just 0-60 in less than 3 secs on the website
R1T and R1S are not profitable vehicles. Rivian needs design and manufacturing changes to make the vehicles profitable in the future. I wish someone would talk about the Amazon Vans they are producing and how many they are producing each month and if they a profitable. This should be a huge opportunity for Rivian. If they can ramp up the van production and add customers like WalMart, UPS, FedEx and USPS that might help them become a profitable company.
Hear me out, Brian 😂 after seeing you for what has to be over 10+ years now on RU-vid, I’ve finally figured out who you remind me of; it puzzled me for years. Anyhow, you remind me of Usher. Yup, I will acknowledge the absurdity and I will never comment it again.
If they can scale up and get additional cash, they will survive and thrive. Their products are well designed; that R3X is butch (nothing like it on the market.)
I mentioned in the video, it has to be a lower starting price than the R2, so maybe $35-$40K. If they could hit $35K STARTING...of course. That's really compelling.
Question is will Rivian still be in business by 2026? The R2 needed to be released a year ago to keep them afloat. Don’t know how much longer Rivian can sustain the massive losses on each vehicle sold.
This Rivian announcement should give Tesla stakeholders the impetus to DEMAND Elon Musk come back to the Tesla office full time (every day) or resign. He is distracted with Space X, Boring, Company, Twitter/X and the stock price reflects his lack of meaningful focus. While others have been innovating, Elon has squandered resources on initiative that are not producing meaningful revenue. There is nothing new in the Tesla pipeline over the next 24 months representing a significant new cashflow stream as a recession approaches.
You okay bro? People being upset about something they don't have to watch and deciding to comment negatively instead of just leaving peacefully is stupid.
Starting at $45k, yep... more affordable for sure...NOT. Same as avarage Tesla owner house hold income is 120k a year... SURE!!!! Electrical vehicles are COOL, however, it can not be your only car! Lets say you want to drive from NY to Cali, good luck planning your charging stops, also what if its super cold? We all saw what happened to Tesla cars when charges were not working and batteries just gave up. So, electrical vehicles are cool, but still not the clear choice due to its price , range and battery limitations. Hybrid is the way to go!
Apple should buy this company.. implementing iphones 📱 technology like Face ID to unlock 🔓 apple will take this company to the next level.. 💯 Apple have the 💰 & technology imaginable apple AR tech in the front windshield …💯🦾🔥🔥🔥🔥🗣️🗣️
