It's a very interesting interview that covers a variety of topics including:
- Amazon's interest in Rivian as an investor
- How much Rivians can tow
- Finalizing Rivian's manufacturing/supply chain
- How Rivian will make sure to have enough batteries for production
- Q&A with the audience

He also talks about his time working with McLaren from 2011-2018 where he held different roles including Head of Vehicle Electronics.

Some Saudi firms were interested in Tesla a while back. Won't be surprised if Rivian joins that list.

Yeah that was around the time Musk made those Tweets about taking a buyout and it led to that whole legal debacle.

I can see Rivian getting a big foreign investment on top of what they've already secured from Ford and Amazon, especially when they start to expand. I don't necessarily think it will be Saudis though.
I'm surprised Ben left Rivian for Volta Trucks. It seems very niche. And they are based in Sweden.

Does anyone know who took over that role?
