Excellent product and strong company. RJ is a smart man. First to market with an electric truck that gets over 400 miles range and still the reigning champ of that space with Ford's lightning even hitting a recent production snag and still not as many units produced as Rivian. Hopefully we can see RIVN reach 100k units produced this year off their line in Illinois. If you want some juicy news, look up the state legislation and major tax credit package that the Governor of Illinois signed at the end of 2022 to benefit EV makers like RIVN. The gov't has the back of RIVN and is not going to let them fail. And they have a factory in Georgia coming online within the next few years to at least double output. RIVN is a long play, you need to buy on the dip and be patient, but imagine when we reach over 100k in annual volume? Americans fucking love their trucks and SUVs.

Rivian R1T vs the Ford F-150 Lightning on specs:

One of the key differences between the two vehicles is their range. The Rivian R1T has a range of up to 400 miles, while the Ford F-150 Lightning has a range of up to 300 miles. The Rivian R1T also offers impressive off-road capabilities, with adjustable air suspension and up to 14 inches of ground clearance, while the Ford F-150 Lightning is designed more for on-road use.

Another difference is their towing capacity. The Rivian R1T has a maximum towing capacity of up to 11,000 pounds, while the Ford F-150 Lightning has a maximum towing capacity of up to 10,000 pounds.
