Hopefully this saves Rivian… they’re a decent company
Do they need saving? I thought they had Amazon’s money as backing.
(Also I wonder — how will this news impact VW’s new Scout brand.)
Yeah, but even then they are loosing money on every van they make for them. It’s mostly R&D, but still.
Yeah I wanna see what they can do with the R3. That’s the one I’m more interested in
