If you ever start getting down on Rivian delaying production of the R1s, take a read here and see what could happen if they launched too quickly with sub-par components. This fiasco with GM it now costing the General over 2 BILLION with a "B" for this matter.

Still want Rivian to hurry up and produce a vehicle? Take a read.

You can try to rationalize it however you want... But delaying release doesn't prevent these issues. Rivian will be at risk, just as any other manufacturer is.

How Rivian handles issues like this when they happen should be our biggest concern.

Agreed on the "how" part. But I think we would all agree that launching a problem free vehicle (at least from the battery stack perspective) should be a primary concern for any company. Especially a start up. And it it takes a little longer because things don't seem right, then so be it.
