Hah!
Incidentally, Rivian is hiring right now. The recruiter is saying I'd have to move down to their Irvine site though, and that's a lot on the family.
A couple months ago, a firmware update bricked my truck because a power converter failed to top up the aux 12V batteries. Which is fine, except that the battery leads in the rear only exposes
one of said batteries, which
only powers up literally the left half of the truck. What's worse is that even if you do know to tear apart the frunk to jump the other battery, if you don't power up these batteries simultaneously, then the computers don't come up. Turns out the system needs to start sourcing power from both sides
at the same time, what in the actual fuck. Sounds like quite the hack job electrical architecture. But shit like this is why I think there are real opportunities to make a difference over there.
I think of dark0821 in that other thread, how he's killing it over at Hyundai because he finds meaning and love for what he's doing. It's something to think about for sure.
Speaking of dark, that is the man to do sales at Rivian. The trucks are all about the experience. You sure as shit are not going to sell anyone on the utility, so you're gonna have to sell them on an aspirational vision. There are little labels all around the vehicle saying things like "Stay Adventurous Forever": you'd have to say those words and mean it lol.
