Saw this video and summary posted by someone on Rivianforums

Highlights:
  • “Limitations” for Ford (existing 150 line & design) vs. Rivian’s more agile approach
  • Challenges potentially for ramp up for Rivian
  • Lightning is simpler
  • Rivian performance spectrum & much more complicated but better performing design
  • Stamped & BEV “from ground up” designs of Rivian frame
  • Rivian’s approach requires more laborious welds, assembly, QC (along w/ higher risks for errors in the assembly) vs. Ford’s more “elegant” front framing design
  • Rivian does not use brackets where Ford has brackets toward rear (hitch, bumper, differing bed sizes, etc.)
