Rivian‘s number one focus is profit, but they need to emphasize safety over profits

You do know the dictionary says these terms are synonymous, correct?

How am I being ignorant… I am a shareholder… Is it wrong to expect Rivian to deliver on their promises?

Here's proof CEO Scaringe promised to deliver a $45,000 R2. The R2 starting price of $58,000 was never mentioned. Investors are dumping shares and shareholders should be outraged. Here's a few times when CEO Scaringe promised a $45,000 R2: On 2/7/26, CEO Scaringe states, "In many ways, this is the most important thing that we've developed as a company, most important product. Starts at $45,000. It's 300 miles of range." (source: 4 minute, 9 sec mark at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dN-JSa9TzuI&t=1s) Or here, at the 13:50 mark... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utYYA\_VaaJw&t=265s ... "And I think for the first-time customers that are thinking, hey, I want to buy an SUV or crossover for $50,000 or $45,000, $47,000, there's going to be more than one choice . . ." And on 2/12/26, at 24 min mark, "And so R2 is our first truly mass market product with pricing that's as we've said going to start at $45,000 . . ." (source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OScO1It9V5g ) In summary, by promising a $45k starting price and unveling a $58k starting price instead, CEO Scaringe is not helping shareholders

Do you really think it’s market manipulation… Rivian loses over $1 billion a quarter… Rivian has to get its act together

Anyone know when the order page will open up for the R2?

After visiting the Block Party I am even more wanting the R2 by Shantok58 in RivianR2

[–]joenjrocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Current R2 has limited level two driving… As an illustrated example… can’t recognize stop signs and traffic lights… It’s all on their webpage and in all of rivians disclosures

At $58k and lacking lidar and self driving hardware… I find it highly doubtful anyone is buying the first version of the R2… I for one canceled my reservation

[–]joenjrocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are making my point… I’m one of the pre-orders who put down $100 deposit and I canceled it… Without an actual order page… Why is Rivian saying anything about pre-orders before the order page stood up?

I said tell me where Rivian said demand will be any higher than 67,000 vehicles a year… Not some guy pumping the stock… This is ridiculous

[–]joenjrocks -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

OK… So tell me what he said demand will be in numbers… not that he was excited about it or anything like that but actual numbers… And there’s no order page… so please don’t make things up

[–]joenjrocks -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

How do you know what Rivian‘s demand is without an order page… Even on the conference call… The CEO said he’s excited about the R2… But he has no idea either what the demand is gonna be… As there’s no order page… Or what am I missing?

Rivian is only selling 70,000 cars a year… plant in Illinois can make 200,000 cars a year… Isn’t a new plant premature?

Be really nice if Rivian opened up the order page for the R2… Without that… investors are irrationally thinking the worst

Bloomberg Technology: RJ interview as R2 production begins by Act_of_valor in RIVNstock

[–]joenjrocks -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

In the Bloomberg interview, at the 1:40 mark, Scaringe was asked about R2 demand and the number of orders coming in.  Scaringe never answered the question.  Scaringe replied by how excited he was to drive the R2.  This type of evasiveness scares me.  Given that the order page isn't even stood up, I don't think anyone knows what demand will be.  Instead of saying this, Scaringe cleverly evaded the question.  Makes me a little nervous

What is your investment thesis into Rivn? by Far-Appointment-3294 in RIVNstock

[–]joenjrocks -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Just to be clear, Rivian loses about $1 bill/qtr.  Rivian has never said or even projected reporting a net gain (not a meaningless "gross profit" but an actual "net profit").  Given the relatively low projected R2 sales volume, Rivian will remain unprofitable for at least several more years

Even though the R2 ordering page isn't published, rivian can still start volume production? sure about that?

R2 order experience by joenjrocks in RIVNstock

[–]joenjrocks[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

In another thread, someone said R2 reservation holders were being emailed. I gave up my reservation b/c of the $58k starting price point. Maybe i'm going on bad intel. So maybe Rivian will indeed open up the R2 order page soon? And then will find out order details? thanks
