I would think they would keep at least 1 of each model/trim of vehicle for testing these things. This leads me to believe one of the following:
I got an offer for software engineering role at Rivian a few years ago. The pay was low.
That's typical of the automotive industry, they don't pay anyone reasonably, they treat the workers like shit, and then they get mad when the workers protest, unionize, or quit. This is how the automotive industry works from the top down, from the highest executive to the lowliest salesman.
Also from an IT/Development perspective, the money is usually meh, but also the technology is usually expected to be cutting edge, while on the backend they're cutting corners and costs, thus undermining that "cutting edge" factor.
All of the above.
