Rivian's R2 is going to change the landscape and make Rivian a major player in the EV industry. Investors should take notice.

I'm sure as an investor they will do well. Although I would be far more interested in their fleet vehicles than the R2.

As a consumer I wouldn't go near anything that costs $30k to fix a fender bender and intentionally excludes phone integration software like Android Auto to drive subscription fees.

That last point all the way.

No Car Play or Andriod Auto? Want to use a native app (like Apple Music) on the infotainment? That's a monthly subscription.

No thanks.
