    I doubt that Amazon is slow rolling it. Demand for EV trucks is insane. I was working on procuring some in a different industry a couple years ago, and we just could not get them in any meaningful quantity. Lead times were years out. I think we actually got one during the time I was on the project.

      To hear my brother who works at a legacy manufacturer, nobody wants them so they’re not worth building. 🙈

      Rivian is already selling to other companies. Amazon could have very well paid them to remain exclusive until they completed their fleet.
