“Rivian lost $3.6 billion last year on 42k deliveries. That's $86,000 of value destruction PER VEHICLE that left their factory.” This is a steep hill to climb. I see people getting excited about the deal with Uber, but it’s just a minor infusion of cash to float them along, starting with an initial $300 million commitment. The rest of that “up to 1.25B” will be spread out through 2031, to buy 50,000 R2s - if all goes well. The news to watch for is still profitability, which is TBD.

Nobody understands how much of a disaster this Rivian <> Uber deal is Rivian lost $3.6 billion last year on 42k deliveries. That's $86,000 of value destruction PER VEHICLE that left their factory. Their solution? Partner with Uber to turn a $58K camping SUV into a robotaxi... to compete with Tesla's Cybercab... YIKES Every 12-18 months, this company finds a new partner to write a check: - Amazon: $1.3B equity + 100K van order - VW: $5.8B joint venture - US DOE: $6.6B loan - Uber: $1.25B robotaxi deal (today) The moment they announced the Uber deal, they admitted they're pushing back profitability AGAIN to fund an autonomy program that can't even handle stoplights. Tesla's Cybercab is purpose built at $25,000 with no steering wheel. The cost per mile math isn't even close. The Uber deal is to deploy 50,000 robotaxis by 2031. Slight problem: The car doesn't exist yet. The factory doesn't exist yet. The autonomy software doesn't exist. Manufacturing is HARD. good luck have fun

In talking with Rivian about the rear screen or lack thereof with R2, the thought process was that most people have/use a personal device in the rear seat today. If the mobile app experience is excellent, the rear screen is redundant/unneccessary. This was not a discussion on Robotaxi, but more of why no rear screen. I think with Robotaxi it most definitely applies.

Well, do we think R2 gets a rear screen after all? Maybe that's a 2027 or 2028 model year upgrade to support Uber?

The wife's Tesla supercharging session with the Gen 1 Rivian R1S Quad Large. Can we call that a charging curve? Dang. h/t: @RivianRoamer
