lol would make is doing so much work because you can quote fastest launches without the part where we're still in the first year so now one of the fastest is whatever they told investors before anyone asks if 6,000 in Q3 means the math works when deliveries are the proxy they chose that's not even a hit that's oh you thought upwards meant we checked the quarters

Rivian has been telling investors it will sell upwards of 25,000 R2s in its first year of production, which would make it one of the fastest launches of a new electric vehicle in US history.

    lol they picked the ceiling before they proved the floor is the entire game here. You don't write one of the fastest when the real line is we printed a number in May and now Q3 is doing all the credibility work while the comp set stays whatever makes 25k look good.

    Upwards of means they picked the ceiling before they proved the floor. You don't get to pre-rank the launch when Q3 is still gap math and fastest becomes projection credit instead of delivery count, so now investors are holding a speed claim that was always conditional on the year they haven't finished.
