“Palo Alto Police Skip Tesla To Buy America’s First Rivian R1S Cruiser”
@dangoodin The only vehicles I hear that outclasses the #Tesla sometimes is the #Rivian. #MKBHD has spoken very highly over them in his AutoFocus channel. If you like traditional vehicles, a #PHEV wouldn't be a terrible choice either. But generally the #Tesla is a pretty safe bet, which makes sense considering that it's become the normie #EV car.
#Rivian Will Sell Its Cute #EV #Vans to Businesses That Aren’t Amazon Now
Anyone from huge companies like AT&T to local plumbing companies can now buy Rivian's modular electric van.

I was under the impression that #Rivian still had a very small production count, but I've been seeing a lot of them around here (#NewJersey) the last couple years. Kinda neat. Sometimes they're even in the correct form factor, like this one! #EVs #ElectricVehicles
Cracked Skull, Fractured Bones Show Danger for Rivian Factory’s Workers
Maker of $100,000 EVs struggled to put in place the procedures, equipment and training needed to keep employees safe.
Well, I'm no longer a Tesla owner.
Monday I picked up my new Rivian R1S Dual Max Performance from their delivery center in Chelsea, MA and took it straight to Q Car Care in Burlington, MA for additional window tinting, paint protection film, ceramic coating, and protection film on the windshield.
I think they did great work and it looks awesome. Gabrielle at Q was great to work with and he really helped me pick just the packages that I was looking for.
I'm still learning all the features, but it's definitely a step up from my 2016 Model X.
Another popular EV brand apparently isn't great to its workers!
Rivian factory workers are reportedly getting seriously injured on the job
Tesla Cybertruck rival Rivian plans first ‘Space’ showroom in Dallas
The EV company is planning a showroom in the Knox District at 3010 Knox St. The site project will cover about 4,000 Sq Ft & is valued at nearly $2 million.
Rivian has more than a dozen sites, which it calls “Spaces,” that showcase its vehicles. It has just one in Texas with Austin, the same city where rival Elon Musk’s Tesla is based.
@vcsjones and need to restore customer service as well. There is no way to even file suggestions for improvements…save being a Musk stan on X and hoping he doesn’t turn his whole internet against you. I’ll pass on all that.
I’m increasingly tempted to take a financial bath and sell our Model Y for a #Rivian R1S or R2S when they come out.
I pre-ordered a #Rivian R1 years ago, assuming I’d need a truck (or be rich) by the time they shipped in Canada. Neither has happened, and I don’t think my wife would just let me buy one for fun (we both work at home now). My preorder gives me quite a discount on the current MSRP I believe. Anyone I know (in Canada) looking to buy one? Or should I just buy it and drive for Uber to cover the cost?

My #Rivian navigation system is powered by MapBox. MapBox in turn pulls map information from sources including #openstreetmap (OSM)
A street leaving our neighborhood had a feature that was incorrectly identified as a roundabout (probably because it was easier to map/draw that way). Which was annoying as navigation would say “take the second right” every time I drove out of the neighborhood. (1/2)
