Why is Rivian doing anything with bicycles?
Build the dang R2 and R3.
I would be happy if they started selling literally anything.
Rivian getting punished by increase in costs due to tariffs, causing a sharp decline in demand. Combined with high interest rates and diminished EV incentives it's hard to see a profitable path forward for electric vehicles.
That being said, please sell me an R3!
