Company that had a totally great product that they've been working on for years (and it's so great, you guys! Just need a little more investment capital...) drags partners down, it was totally a surprise, OMG, they were really almost there guys, just dealing with a spurious patent troll lawsuit against a competitor, then totally releasing a great product!

Always vet your technology partners, don't fall for a charismatic founder with good marketing speak skills.

funny, I just did an essay on rivian and it seems very similar...

I’m curious to see what comes of them. I havent seen ANYTHING relating to plans past Amazon’s 100k units....

I have a couple hundred shares of Wo rkhorse since they actually have been delivering products to companies. They’re banking pretty heavily on some USPS contract, but the fact that they have a couple dozen prototypes sold, in the field, doing work makes it worlds better than the other ones.

You mean, like, plans for that truck and SUV they’re tooling prototypes of?

were those not part of the amazon order?

I’ve seen the prototypes. but I didnt find much in terms of plans after.,

is it going to be direct sales? dealers? what about servicing?

only think I found plans were: amazon order for 100k units. and we want to make a van and a truck.

thats kinda about it.

Far as I can tell, they’v e designed and are in the midst of prototyping a direct-to-consumer pickup and SUV. The fact they have multiple (read: tens or more) prototypes running around at this point tells me they’re <2 years to regular production if all goes well.

Amazon I believe is ordering some vans. I’ve only seen images of this, but I’m assuming the chassis or running gear is heavily borrowed from the PU+SUV. Guessing as a Rivian outsider but educated by general OEM industry  knowledge .
