Rivian Had the Biggest IPO for a U.S. Company Since Facebook
The EV startup priced its initial public offering at $78 per share, raising approximately $12 billion during its stock market debut.

What does stock ipo have to do with how the truck may/may not preform?REMUS with res delete. My boy billy at A2B Motorsports just started manufacturing catted down pipes, I’m going stage 2 this spring.

Love the concept, but buyer beware of first year products. Just bought a hybrid F150 this weekend. Dealer said the factory is stopped taking reservations for the lightning. They don't know when it will be available. They are having similar issues with ordering regular 2022 F150's. Factory will continue to ship 2021 but not 2022 due to the chip shortage.
I really like this. It’s not something that would work for me because I do outdoorsy stuff in areas without access to electricity. If you wanted a truck for the city, suburbia and short trips in the country where you have access to electricity then I think this is a brilliant option.
They are eminently practical vehicles. Get a color matched hard cover that locks and it is the most trunk space you will ever have. Don't want things to slide, then a simple antislip mat or spray in bedliner will do the trick. The beds also have slats to slide 2x4 in to keep boxes and other stuff further confined. I can't tell you the number of times I've picked up mulch, landscaping supplies, lawn mowers, arcade games, appliances, furniture, etc or just threw the golf clubs in the back with a cooler. Your bike would probably fit easily back there and not even need a trailer - a simple winch, ramps, stand, and you're all set.
Yeah, they are. I feel this version is even more practical. The entire front truck (frunk) can fit two sets of clubs and there is a cooler under the floorboard for having the 19th hole at your vehicle. Not really a home fixit guy, so the 2X4, mulch, etc - I wouldn't be carrying it. I hire someone to do it for me. The bed is 5 1/2 feet long, and I don't think my bike would fit - it's probably too long even with the tailgate down.
Honestly, this truck would be a great PSU tailgate vehicle, with all the storage, plus plug in for blenders, etc. Plus the cooler. Or, at Brigantine Beach with a beach chair on the bed, looking out over the Ocean.
Ford and Amazon are heavily invested in Rivian, company viability won't be a problem. Cybertruck is gawd-awful ugly.
What year is yours? My wife has a 2018 TT S-line convertible in dark grey with Black spoiler--failed to mention that multi-tasking on conference calls....SMH
What's the rear seat weight? The Golf's were ~63, can't imagine they TTs are nearly that much.
Also gotta factor what the driver adds back in
Aha! So that’s the holdup.As soon as On3 Gestapo allow me to post pics, I will see what I can do.
89.45% of pickups are driven by people who have no need whatsoever for a pickup
67.83% of the people who drive them would faint dead away if asked to spend a day working on a construction site

Money begets research begets awesome performance. Show me a car company not backed by cash killing it. For example Greeley is paying for this:
perhaps my last ICE in AMG 4 spec
Drove an M4 competition cab two weeks ago and a M 850i X cab today , schwinggg. Hope to get in the seat of an M5 competition and see which ride is the best to drive to Stauffers .

Massimimanca speaks in the third person.
That’s nice.
93.23% of people who get pickups get calls within 30 days from friends and family who “want to know if you can help me move something with your truck”
Might have to experience a shoulder that keeps “popping out “ prior to the acquisition . Have about 5 buds with Raptors . They love them . Couple of Platinums in there too . No Lithium buddies other than Tesla S.
Universally hated but Willow grove’s AWE has me coveredGood Luck dont mess up that patented Porsche sound

I'd bet on the M2 retaining significant value over time in comparison to the new m240.
On a value retention standpoint , it seems bmw is commited to continuing V8 production . Benz is phasing out all 8s and going to a 6 plus electric motor . The AMG G wagons are selling 100k over sticker in Cali . Manual 2s will probably be hot going forward . Not many manuals left .
Courvoisier had to go on a diet to get into the M2 seats . He’s a motivated buyer .
Apples and oranges. Lotus has built cars since I was a kid. Money may help ( and be an be vital) in research but you were talking about a new unproven truck vs a proven product. Apples and oranges. Moving the goal posts.
Edit: the rivian is still butt ugly!

So when I lived in Pa and dated my wife on Sundays we would drive her VW cabrio convertible through those fun gorgeous twisty curvy roads to a different breakfast spot (worst roads in the country)…..
I know live in the place that has the best roads in the country straight straight wide and flat with no potholes….boring roads I might add.
The only turns we make are 90 degrees and are limited….do you see a benefit?
Funny I ask cuz when I upgraded my F150 with the Fox shocks and BDS control arms it was much better in the rear end amazing actually…the TT having a small wheel base and my roads what benefits?
