Rivian’s delivery vans are top tier, I can definitely see VW wanting to create their our van based on Rivian’s
Rivian is an expensive failure. 😂 They’re going to steal VW 's money, whatever is invested, and they’re going to spend it all before VW can get it back. So…they’re going to lose at least $1B.
