Just a couple years ago, EV options were limited. Now a lot of Tesla owners are starting to look around for their next EV and there are now a lot of great EVs to look at. Great to see Rivian is the option many are going for. Will be curious to see how much this trend continues with R2.

At a California auto auction, 51 vehicles ran through Rivian’s lane, 46 of them were Teslas. Interesting data point. Definitely suggests many Tesla owners are moving to Rivian, at least anecdotally. cc:@cardealershipguy.bsky.social

Did you catch the Rivian R1T and R1S helping transport Blue Origin’s all female crew yesterday? It’s great seeing Rivian front and center at events like these and it's not the first time Blue Origin has used Rivians to transport Blue Origins teams to the New Shepard Rocket.

In October Rivian released alongside their Q3 production and delivery report that they would be decreasing their 2024 production estimates due to a part shortage. This part was later learned to be a copper winding for the Enduro motor, a motor that goes in the Rivian EDV, R1 Dual and Tri Motor.

Rivian has reported that the copper winding constraint, that affected Rivian's Enduro motors later last year, is no longer affecting production.

Pretty sure it includes August, but I went ahead and emailed IIHS to confirm. I’ll let you know what they say. I don’t think it actually matters though they probably just tested an August build and that’s the wording they chose. Gen 2 is all structurally the same.

Rivian has a site where you can buy inventory used in Rivian's spaces and demo drives. Some vehicles have as low as 100 miles, mostly from showroom displays, while others have thousands of miles from demo drives, still covered by Rivian's warranty. Good place to look if you want to buy a Rivian! :)

On the contrary, Rivian ranks last in reliability. This isn’t due to vehicle breakdowns or battery/motor issues, but rather build quality concerns like squeaks, misaligned panels, and paint chips, resulting in more service center visits. Rivian owners, do you agree? Let me know your thoughts!
