I watched that video and it contains zero information. They just speculate. Those guys are very hit or miss, this one's a miss.

Totally click bait video again. This video is just a bunch of frustration matched with 'Buy some gear'

Exactly . Very boring and uninformative. Generally

Not very informative, that's true. But let's not forget that it's not very informative because Rivian has hit another time target it isn't making and the Company isn't saying anything about it to it's loyal fan base.

For myself, I am frustrated but remain loyal to the brand; it's that good. Many of you feel the same.

And, heck, I was never looking at delivery before next year anyway. But Rivian can't get to me next year until it delivers cars this year.

I would only say to Rivian that it is disrespectful of, and takes for granted, that loyal and patient . . . and patient . . . and still more patient . . . customer base to not tell us what's going on. You have a whole lot of smart and insightful people in your fan base. We talk to each other. We listen to each other. We help each other.

So, Rivian, talk to us, damn it. We'll listen, we'll understand, we might even help out, and we'll remain loyal. But talk to us.

And as for the guys who made this video, hey, at least they are talking to you.

Here I'll talk to you:

"We're having production issues, multiple headwinds. We're going to try to hit our targets this year, but may slip a little. Your anticipated delivery date might slip by a couple of months as a result. Sorry, we're still a startup and as Elon Musk has said, production is hell."

What else do you need to know?

Dear Sciencegeek:

Forgive me as I must not have written with the necessary clarity.

The conversation stream was about the speculative nature of the web commentary about Rivian seemingly not making a production timeline target, and that in my view the speculation was a product of Rivian not speaking to us, the loyal fan base, about this.

Again, Sir, the issue is Rivian not speaking to us; not you not speaking to us.

The issue is Rivian not giving us the factual explanation; not you giving us your speculation -- however informed that speculation may turn out to be.

Rivian should not be leaving important issues about production to our -- and your -- speculation, or to random buzz on these forums. Rivian should be communicating with us, and not just the SEC or whomever, about the production obstacles the Company may be facing and any resultant production delays. That's it; just include us in the conversation by giving us the facts as we wait, including so many of you who have been waiting far longer that I have been.

And Sciencegeek, although the messaging wasn't about you not talking to me, I appreciate that you did talk to me. Always good to hear from you and others.

I think that's just a naive view. They will disclose whatever they feel like is necessary to disclose to investors. And that's it. No company willingly exposes their internal challenges just to please the enthusiasts.

I am sorry but Rivian hasn't provided information to the public? I have a date, so does just about everyone else for this year. Are those dates slipping maybe, we will know soon. But what else should they do. 'Hey customers we are guessing that maybe there will be a 3 month delay, or maybe 6 or maybe none but don't complain at least we are talking to you'. They aren't talking because they don't have real data to share, if they did they would share it.

Sorry did I not post that while asking you to buy a t-shirt?
