Absolute nonsense from Rivian here and simply do not know how they thought theyโd get away with it. I would now hold onto my order and sell it on at a profit as @GMCay hinted at. Iโd be completely done with the company though, treating the customers that are literally financing their operations as mugs.

Thatโs a great point - your reservation is now worth circa $15,000 and a queue jump.

What will happen to Rivian shares when Ford will start selling itโs Rivian shares?
If there are more sellers than buyers youโll likely see the price drop, this is supply v demand. Have Ford indicated they plan to offload their stake?

They have indicated they are selling 8M shares of their 102M, so they will still own a decent chunk
Looks like the market doesnโt like that news, judging by pre market price

So Ford are selling around 1.5% of the company or less than half the daily volume. The pre market seems to be an over reaction to me, theyโll still retain a large holding.

Yeah, I thought it was a bit of an overreaction.
Iโm still not a buyer until I see signs the downtrend is over, which probably wont happen till macro economic conditions improve.
I like the trucks, but glad I didnโt buy after the IPO

I like the trucks too, worried the F150 will eat their lunch though. They still have their โproduction hellโ moment as well as scaling their servicing & charging operations.
Hopefully they like what our government are offering them in terms of inducements to build their big factory in the UK and they come here! The trucks look superb!!

Recent FT magazine article: How Rivianโs CEO became the anti-Elon:
Well I did buy just after the IPO, not a major amount but also not pennies.
Now I am down 78% but I guess that serves me right for putting money into a startup like this.
Luckily I followed the old adage: only invest what you donโt mind losing.
But it is still annoying that the market is so sensitive rather than looking to the future value of the company.

Good news but 100000 trucks do not make a car company.
Rivian needs to replicate this many times over to stay in the game.
