It hadn’t even dawned on me that there might not be an option to buy an extended warranty.

According to this Rivian is testing it in Texas right now.

Rivian Care Launches Pilot Program in Texas

Rivian is quietly rolling out a new protection plan pilot for owners in Texas, and it’s called Rivian Care. It’s a pair of optional products meant to extend peace of mind beyond the standard factory warranty—and it’s all powered by Assurant, a well-known name in vehicle protection services...

A $340,000 electric Cadillac. According to this they had to do some creative placement with the battery to get it to fit.

Very interesting. I read an article maybe 1-1/2 years ago that had a company exploring 3-d printing the batteries. The idea was that they could be shaped to fit anywhere like dead pockets around a frunk, inside ‘C’ pillars and other areas where typical batteries wouldn’t fit. It’s a great concept for Cadillac but $340k. Come on!!! Not a chance. Lexus maybe

If I was going to spend that kind of money on a car it would not be a Cadillac. Rolls-Royce Spectre all the way.

It seems Richland County has found itself in a bit of trouble.

I hope Scout feels the same way about their starting price.

There have been some previous comments about contract building or sharing the space. 200,000 is a lot of capacity for a new brand no matter how enthusiastic we are. There are millions of potential buyers that still have no idea what Scout is.

Ever since I answered the " what does everyone do for a living" with "Environmental Consulting" I have been waiting for Jaime or even Scott to contact me for help. Perhaps a trade just kidding big companies dont do that. This sounds like maybe the local county officials were not well enough informed on State and Federal regulations. Our intuial service is a hazardous material inventory of all hazadous products that have potential for release that are stored or processed. New PFAs chemical are added to the Toxic Release Inventory TRI lists this year. Love to help.

That’s on them, can’t blame Scout for it. Richland County hired these subcontractors along with the General contractor, which I forgot the name of, not like we need to blast them or anything.

Landmark was the site contractor. Not sure why I remembered that. And I agree-the county hired the contractors-not Scout Motors-which in that industry is really odd. Must be a SC thing as nobody in the Northeast has their projects handled by the government-too much liability. Even in PA they can approve all plans, do site/building inspections and then at the end bend you over and claim stuff they approved is wrong. So messed up and power tripping.

Landmark is a pretty big and reputable company from Charleston. I’m pretty sure that the government involvement in the building process is because of incentives given and the infrastructure that had to pass through surrounding areas to get to the site. I think…

I’m hopeful they get the issue resolved quickly and it doesn’t lead to any delays.

Seems it's only a fine, and it's because of the riverbanks that took damage from the runoff. which that run off was cleaned up by a vacuum truck

I had a suspicion of that as well but still a very unusual approach. For road infrastructure sure but private interest is unusual. Thanks for the insight

There was unprecedented storms last year on top of things which just added more wear and tear but somebody should have had the job to check the temporary SWM provision s to be sure they were t failing

Follow the money. I’d not be surprised if NADA and coalition of dealers against DTC had anything to do with encouraging action over muddy rain water. If chemicals were spilling or serious damage but $1M is wild.
