I was down to a Rivian and the Y, just wasn’t very close cost wise and I think Rivian could use a few more years to mature tech/vehicle wise. It’s definitely more of a luxury brand. If it can make something similar to the Ioniq it will get interesting

To the eye (my eyes anyway), they just don't do it for me.

I like the S and that's about it at this point.

If, and only if , ACC programs leave I see NC as an auto entry in the B1G because they are a name brand in Basketball which would improve how the BIG is viewed nationally basketball wise and it would be between FSU and Miami that the B1G looks at to bring in the Florida market.
Clemson ,I don't see the B1G drooling over the possibility of them joining.

Absent of Notre Dame, UNC has been reported as the first choice

Both FSU and Miami would be great fits for the Big Ten, FSU for both the SEC and Big Ten in Miami just for the Big Ten

Agree, that Clemson appears to be SEC bound when it is all said & done

The supervisors or managers that approve the hiring/promotions would have a paper trail including personnel files and reports. But a red flag would be when someone is "fast-tracked" over another equally-qualified person, perhaps ahead of the typical experience profile needed because of a DEI policy.

When the organizational leadership comes out and say the person had typical/good performance reports, people will say they were faked or "held to different standard" or that the leadership is lying to cover up their stealth DEI program. It is the perfect "conspiracy theory" scenario.

To be clear, I am not saying that there aren't cases where people are put in positions they shouldn't be. Sometimes it is because of mis-guided DEI efforts, sometimes nepotism, and sometimes racism, etc. But I quite frankly am sick of every non white male we don't agree with being accused of DEI favoritism. I say that as a proud husband of a highly qualified woman and proud father of a young woman who is very good at what she does. I sometime shudder to think of what the women in some people's lives must be like if they think that the reason the US airline industry is so safe is because pilots are 90%+ males.

R2/3 are supposed to compete with the model Y. The R1 was Rivian version of Model S. R2/3 is for the regular users.

You are correct... "no one is buying Teslas" is hyperbolic phrase, but to an investor sales down 60% in Germany is the same effect as no one is buying teslas.

That is a crazy number to be down for a company that is supposed to be growing like gangbusters.
