Rivian CEO Calls Out Gas Car Owners and Criticizes Charging Network

TL;DR
Rivian CEO R.J. Scaringe compared buying a gas-powered car to building a horse barn in 1910, suggesting that those who ignore the progress in the EV space will soon regret their decision. With the increasing interest and uptake in EVs, Scaringe expressed optimism for the future and expects to deliver the R2 model in 2026. Rivian's recent deal with Tesla to allow Rivian vehicles to be charged in Tesla's Supercharger points may boost customer confidence in their vehicles.
