WHY⁉️🤔

70089245 : Rapidly improving segments, Volkswagen does not have pickup trucks or commercial Van production lines

EZ_money : simple, partner up with company already producing rather than the expense of trying to do it all yourself. easy move in

TotoKueh : Volkswagen brings scale, and funds. The money it's putting up allows Rivian to develop more models and cut operating costs by leveraging volume.

Rivian brings its intellectual property on software, which will go into both Rivian cars like the R2 and, later on, Volkswagen Group cars from brands including Audi and Porsche to the revived Scout brand.
