Rivian

“So we Rivian would never consider building a plug-in hybrid.”

“So the goal, of course, with the lower price product is to take that market share success that we've had and apply it to a much, much larger audience with a price point that with R two starts at 45 and then with R three starts considerably lower than that.”

“In the long term you know, car companies that back off their electrification strategies are going to find them, find themselves in a really challenged position as it gets out to 20, 30 and beyond where the pure play folks like us or Tesla, Have had no other ch…”

“If you're driving a Porsche or an Audi a few years from now, it will have Rivian computers in it. And those Rivian computers will be running Rivian software, but the way it drives the, what it looks like on the screen, internal combustion versus electric. Yeah…”

“And it's much cheaper because you cut out 90, 95% of the computers in the car, you have a much smaller number of more powerful computers and they do a lot of things. And so that's what we've that's what we built.”

“So we have 55 megapixels of cameras on our vehicle. It's the largest number of megapixels on in outside of China.”

“I think there's really two companies in the world that have this level of vertical integration and an architecture that's used. Hardware consolidation to massively simplify the topology of computers, which is us and Tesla, of course.”

“That's not only enough capital to launch R two and normal, but it's enough capital to launch our second R two plant in Georgia and take us through positive free cashflow.”

“We've negotiated more than 20% savings just between Q one and Q four of this year out of our bill of materials.”

“So the deal is just for the, basically our computer architecture. So our East, what we call ECU electronic control units, and then the software that runs on them, it's, it doesn't include batteries, drive train. It also doesn't include autonomy. It doesn't inc…”

“Most companies, certainly Rivian included, are working to engineer cobalt out of the batteries.”

“Tesla and Elon, ah, having a relationship with President Trump is actually helpful to electrification. It's certainly going to provide the perspective of, ah, the importance of EVs.”

“Rivian is more software engineers than any other type of engineer. You know, you have more software engineers than mechanical engineers.”
