I think this looks good. Retro futuristic or something like that. Certainly not the initial cringe of many (most) new BMW designs.

The fact of the matter is that the global demand for electric vehicles is not what speculators had forecasted. One only needs to look at the Rivian stock losing 90% of its initial value as an indicator of where they are financially. To further illustrate how bad things are, one should note that they also had to postpone the opening of their new ATL factory. The writing seems to be on the wall…

That negative gross margin is very concerning… need to get those costs down to have any hope of survival. Looks like their volume has helped some but the price drops are another hit. Just to compare to Tesla - in 2015 when revenues from automotive were $3.7B for the year, gross margin was 25%. Rivian now has higher revenues than that, but a huge margin loss. That means their cost of components or manufacturing is way too high. The quality of the car may not match the price point - I haven’t driven a Rivian but I believe they are nicer than Teslas. At least nicer than the Tesla model S/X in 2015.

A step in the right direction on the outside. You can keep your spartan futuristic void with glued on ipads though.

I wonder when we will see a complete rethinking of the layout of EVs.
Think of the early ICE cars. They resembled horse carriages. They were even called “horseless carriages” early on. When will that happen with EVs? Most look like ICE cars. Even Tesla hasn’t really done this yet.

People on here seem to think the weak economy is to blame for less electrification and low demand. Just saying, I don’t agree with that being the single most reason, but the EV fanatics have been brainwashed beyond rescue.
