Aww, sucks to hear. I've represented plenty of men and women charged with this and it's not the kind of charge that I feel warrants reading into. Good people and bad people make mistakes. Hopefully he gets help if it's a problem.
They're a start up. There should be doubts. First and foremost, they make a terrific product. Regarding profitability, they are currently re-tooling to further bring costs down.
They've done an enviable job in meeting production targets. I'm disappointed they've paused the build out of the Georgia factory, but they'll likely be able to get the R2 to market faster by running it off the Normal, Illinois assembly line while they avoid overextending in this economic climate.
Inflation and interest rates have eroded consumer confidence in purchases like this. That won't last forever, and if by chance it does, I'll be happy to have gotten in on the brand early. And if worst case scenario occurs and they find themselves in bankruptcy, there's no way that they wouldn't be acquired by a legacy manufacturer or even a company like Amazon to have a turn key ev product line.
I've made the trip up there from Georgia and charged at a Rivian owned fast charger near Cadillac. It's right behind a Culver's and convenient enough. Didn't cost anything at the time.
Pricing is more affordable now for the R1S if optioned with the dual motor variant instead of the quad and with the smaller battery pack (if range isn't an issue). With Rivian now having access to the Tesla supercharger network, I can't think of a situation where range anxiety is even a thing anymore.
Service centers should be offering test drives for anyone who wants to sign up for one. I can't sing the company's praises enough.
I'm rarely in conditions that require AWD, but it's nice to have it when weather gets iffy down here.
I'll wholeheartedly say that the wife and I love our Rivians (she's got the SUV, I've got the truck). The truck is "car sized" to me compared to my other truck which you've seen. They've exceeded our expectations on everything from handling, to towing, ride comfort, acceleration, etc. The quad motor setup is capable of multiple drive modes for almost every conceivable traction condition. Being fully electric is a bonus. We'd be hard pressed to ever buy a new ice vehicle again. (Buying an old manual diesel Toyota land cruiser is still a goal).
No desire to look for a new vehicle for either of us as a result. We did put a deposit down for the newly unveiled Rivian R2 on the off chance that she would want to move to a smaller vehicle, but we'll see.
Agreed on lack of English speaking being a surprise. Not even a basic proficiency at places like the train station in Shinjuku where you'd expect some guidance on directions.
I'm never a fan of ignoring the presumption of innocence and suspending early. Blah blah blah it's not a criminal proceeding, yeah I know. I don't care.

I hope every time Dudek takes a bite of a cheeseburger that he's reminded that Michigan won a national championship in spite of him.
Don't forget that it presents a danger to their players.
OT

Maybe there is a female xl that differs from men's xl that I'm unaware of...
To save everyone the trouble, the article says he would have picked Duke or UNC.
Desperation. You can smell it.
Not a bad eau de toilette name for Ryan Day.
Old guy. Congrats on the weight loss!
Well if MSU would stop hogging all the investigators, maybe there would be enough for them to look at other schools.
The best.
It's not about the cookies, it's about the milk.

Can't argue with that!
Because even Jim Harbaugh can't afford a beach front house in California.
I'm not embracing that nonsense. Grinds my gears, pisses me off, chaps my ass are all acceptable though.
Had to meet with someone who was incarcerated and couldn't check it out. Boo.
Nah, I can pull for Purdue basketball. May they forever eclipse their football team.
detractors 😬
Lithe guys with no mass for $500, Alex.
Superhero secret identity names
Enjoyed watching that with you!
…
That's the clincher.
(pun intended)
Spring break! Time to get the hell out of Dodge. Adios goobers.
I'm not into baseball and couldn't care less about the so called scandal. I'm happy to see Asians kicking ass in a Western sport though.
Methinks we should still have bag men under the table.
All these rose bowl outfits suck. Better off getting a custom tattoo. Not kidding.

You really should own one before judging.
Those are sick.

Everyone should live in a trailer for at least six months. You'd be surprised how palatial a modest sized home feels afterward.
I'm rarely in…
Morning, XM.

Call Saab? Tell him it's all the rage for bama players to recommit to their original school.
The biggest. Huge.
Who is this Rumblings? Sounds like a good name for a dl coach.
That locker room is poisoned, but by none other than Freddie P. Soft.
I'm now wondering if the word cred is short for credentials, credibility, or credit...
And you don't have to worry about him getting a DUI on his walk to Ann Arbor.
Tacky.
For real. It was Trente for me last year. This year it's Don.
You can't spell tough without o... Nevermind.
No brackets this year for me. Wife knew not to even ask me to participate in her work one which we usually win.
Too much stuff to do around the house anyway. Someone let me know when we're back in the field and I'll tune back in.
It would have to be. Nothing else from OSU would be big enough to hang out of a pair of shorts.
Best of luck, coach.

It's no RoboCop for sure, but it's a fun watch.
How about Patriot Games for a good movie with Irish in it?
You too, good sir!
The only day of the year that watching Rudy is ok.
Boondock saints afterward for a palate cleanse.
It's good enough to wear the primary colors that combine to make green.
