From a vid I watched like a few weeks ago, I think Rivian has about 1.5y left in cash from their burn rate. Hate to say it but I doubt they will survive / release these models. They are still loosing money on each car + their inventory # is going up, so they aren't selling + if they aren't profitable now, they aren't gonna be profitable if they make a cheaper car / they can't afford to make a cheaper car. :okay: they seem like one of the least scammy ones but back to building a car company ain't as easy as it sounds. O yea and even Apple with deep pockets pulled out after blowing billions on the project. I recall it would cost apple about $125000 to build each car, so even at that price they ain't making any money, let alone servicing, support, charging infrastructure etc. |
Meanwhile I'm trying to get a job from them to try the automotive industry, but even with a referral they won't even entertain my application and the position remains unfilled. Their advertised salary range is also lower than industry average for the position as well. |

But Rivian's on the verge of shutting down their production line on the R1 to make architectural-level cost optimizations. That burn rate isn't going to hold. |
only care about r3x because it's the lada to my niva https://vagabund.imgix.net/projects/...ar-vlada-8.jpg who wouldnt want a little soviet cockroach?? renault is also killing it in the retro nouveau HOLD MY BAGUETTE :fuckyea: https://cdn.motor1.com/images/mgl/mM...ing-detail.jpg |

Their salary was rumoured to be below industry standard, but industry standard in tech has slumped lots in the last 12 months, to the point that I won't be able to find another job that would pay me the same right now. |

The R3X looks great on the street, so much presence. The R2 is a bit dowdy. The R1 looks imposing because partly of it's size, but the R2 doesn't have that going for it. |

man... that R3X looks hot. |
I’d buy an R2 or R3x for sure |

This UBC researcher did the math ...EV > ICE if you drive 64 kms/day for 7 yrs. https://vancouversun.com/news/local-...HluodEuQ%3D%3D |
Not sure why we need a UBC researcher to do this calculation. Any of us here on RS could have done the math to arrive at a similar conclusion. In fact, many of us have already done that here in this thread, myself included LOL~ BRB while I apply to become a UBC researcher... |
Yup ... so many threads about this topic and when you break even for EV vs. ICE. A 'UBC Researcher' kinda gives it a bit more credence but then again, maybe not. There are still a lot of variables. I'm sure your calculations are pretty spot on. |
That UBC study is a nice read since it validates my rough calculation when deciding between an ICE and EV Soul (which is pretty much a boxier Kona). Although I also determined that ICE was more financially sound, the EV powertrain gave the Soul a smoother, more powerful, and overall better driving experience over the ICE variant. Not sure what Hyundai / Kia were thinking putting 201hp/291 lb-ft of instant torque in a small car, but that setup translated to a ton more fun over the 175hp/195 lb-ft engine. |

It is entirely reasonable to want to buy an EV over ICE for many of the other qualities and advantages that EVs have over ICE. But it is as underscore says: Quote:

Gas is apparently back to $1.92 for regular:okay: |
i drive anywhere from 70-150 km per day. i did the math 6 years ago when gas was $1.50/l and it was a wash per month at the time for a 2016 sonata vs a 2018 model 3. |
