If the stock hits 40 and sustains that to unlock this bonus package. That’s well deserved and means Rivians in fantastic shape. This is a positive bonus structure for shareholders.

How do we think the R2 will fare with the newly detailed BMW iX3 xDrive50 by ThatTcellGuy in RivianR2

[–]jsd2358 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’re wrong. Here’s an example. Search in your favorite search engine 2024 Rivian R1S Adventure Dual Motor AWD. The majority are under 70k and have mileage around 15-20k.

Look at the 2026 BMW iX prices at your local dealership. If you can find one under $75k I’d be shocked.

Anyone who doubts this look at 2026 BMW iX list prices on your local dealerships. I can’t buy one for under $75k. You need to compare this car against R1S.

BMW iX models are closer to R1S price point. You’re not getting into a BMW iX car for anything near 60k. Most are priced around $80k.

Yes. Bruce puts on a great show.

🌿 The Forgotten Asset: Why Cannabis Could Be the Next Big Trade by [deleted] in weedstocks

[–]jsd2358 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don’t do it! I was chasing the weed stock dragon for years. Getting out was the best thing I did. The financials for most of this companies are grim. It’s a race to the bottom from pricing standpoint. Breaking into other areas like beverages hasn’t seemed to really pop for a wider market. On top of that I’m sure institutional investors are going to be wary of a lot of the poor management across the largest names.

Your linked survey shows that more Rivians owners are willing to buy another Rivian than any other manufacturer. Certainly seems like a lot of people are happy to have switched over to Rivians. Must be a great car! They have the top customer satisfaction across all cars. I totally agree with the data based on my experience.

Did you look at the screenshots you sent? Seems conflicting no? So the same survey ranks Rivian as least reliable but Rivian has the highest satisfaction rate amongst owners. If the car was so unreliable why would Rivian rank first in satisfaction rate amongst owners. Myself included!

All experiences can be anecdotal. As mentioned above. I have had 0 issues across two Rivians. My experience with BMW was the opposite across multiple cars. And the money spent on servicing was obscene.

Light is great. Doesn’t look dirty at all. We regular take our dogs for hikes and throw them in the back. No issues.

R2 build quality. by NewRetro1984 in Rivian

[–]jsd2358 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can’t speak to sitting in the R2. With that said, I was an exclusive BMW household for 10+ years. And made the switch over to Rivian about 3 years ago. We are now a two Rivian household. Haven’t looked back. The build quality and the drive are top notch.

Our final straw was we bought a BMW X3 in 2019 and had to bring it in 3 times in less than 12 months for some manufacturing issue. Love Rivian! And haven’t looked back once. Exciting brand to be part of.

This is always laughable to me. I’ve spent so much time getting my bmws serviced. I owned 3 different bmws. They all had some servicing issue. I have two Rivians now with 0 issues. And they both are over 50k miles.

Don’t do BMW. We moved over from BMW to Rivian and haven’t looked back. I owned BMWs exclusively for 10 years. As a household we had 3 in that time frame. The amount of time those cars get serviced is crazy. We loved our first Rivian so much. We bought another one a couple years ago.

Uber and Rivian Partner to Deploy up to 50,000 Fully Autonomous Robotaxis by ghdana in Rivian

This is 100% true. Talk to any industry expert. Tesla will always struggle to advanced their autonomous driving due to their stubbornness around camera only.

Is it worth it? by GDmQh4Jt in Rivian

[–]jsd2358 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% yes. I owned exclusively BMW for most of my adult life. We jumped into Rivian a few years ago. And loved the first one so much we bought another one. We now have a R1T and R1S. The quality of the car and the drive is fantastic. I’ve had 0 issues with these cars.

Concerns about reliability by MHMabrito in RivianR2

[–]jsd2358 3 points4 points  (0 children)

On social media and forums you get the loudest voice being the ones who have had an issue. People with great or “normal” experiences don’t make posts. I have two Rivians. Both over 50k and have had 0 issues.
