R1 has to reduce COGS by $92,500 to break even. Let's split that and say R2D2 needs to find $46,250 in savings to break even. If I was a potential investor first thing I'd want to know is how they plan on doing it. COGS for the R1 actually went up the last 2 quarters.
But let's be real no one wants to hear about any of that just good vibes and fuzzy feelings about the Tesla killer.

If you wanted to know, most their talk to journalists was about cost savings.

As long as they dont save too much money compared to R3 on inferior.
Fiat Ritmo style in 2027.
Only disappointing thing so far is old school battery charging for 2030. 30m 10-80% is normal today.
But everything side looks great
. Hopefully has air suspension.

Before I enter any new model EV that is non Tesla, I make a bet with myself that you have already posted or will post something negative. My win loss record is crazy 🤣.
That plus we've already talked about why loss per car went up in Q4 - Amazon paused deliveries in Q4 to focus on the holiday rush. Q2 shutdown will allow Rivian to streamline production and produce the same 57K vehicles on 2 shifts instead of 3 on top of other cost savings
