Agree, its their SUVRivian
No, Ford is testing it. All manufacturers buy and test the competition. There is a term for it, can’t remember it now.Problem is that it had Ford Manufacturing plates on it. Wouldn't it be a Ford?
Ford invested in Rivian years ago. Think they own a decent amount. They were going to co-develop but Rivian is running on its own.No, Ford is testing it. All manufacturers buy and test the competition. There is a term for it, can’t remember it now.
Edit:
It’s called “benchmarking”

That’s right, completely forgot about that.Ford invested in Rivian years ago. Think they own a decent amount. They were going to do-develop but Rivian is running on its own.
Or maybe they are just stealing chips from it for the poor folks still stuck on ice mountain since January!No, Ford is testing it. All manufacturers buy and test the competition. There is a term for it, can’t remember it now.

They sold 7 million out of like 130 million shares so it wasn't as big a deal as the media made it out to be. They did lose money but then the stock market in general is red.Ford has lost its ass with Rivian... to the tune of over $5 billion and counting... and Ford just unloaded another 7 million Rivian shares.
I think Ford was even going to do a joint venture to make an upscale Lincoln EV. Pretty sure that got scrapped.
If you think Broncos have problems getting built, Rivian can't even build 1000/mo... when they were supposed to build 40k/year.
What a dumpster fire. It's a shame because it was a very innovative truck... despite a face only a mother could love.
I think they are down to close to $80 million shares now...They sold 7 million out of like 130 million shares so it wasn't as big a deal as the media made it out to be. They did lose money but then the stock market in general is red.
Those are not Ford plates. They are Michigan manufacturer plates.Problem is that it had Ford Manufacturing plates on it. Wouldn't it be a Ford?
