Fantastic partnership opportunity. Volkswagen Group has struggled mightily with their ev in-vehicle software, arguably the biggest pain point with their ID lineup. Rivian gets to leverage its current strengths, create additional pathways for launching 2 new platforms, and *hopefully* receive insights and partnerships to launch into anticipated regions, including VW’s home market: Europe. [speculating] While some stories end unfavorably [see Fisker re: bankruptcy], Rivian keeps showing promise and legacy auto should pay attention beyond just software - into drivetrain and product development. 😎 Speaking of drivetrain and product development…With the recently launched second-generation R1 series, Rivian beat its own track record at #pikespeakhillclimb this past weekend by ~30 seconds!! 🙌

Y’all know that one of my joys is sharing my perspectives & lessons learned from my 10+ years in the battery industry 🔋⚡️ Did you know I offer 1:1 career consultation sessions? Navigating the battery industry as it’s growing and evolving rapidly is a challenge! Since releasing “Battery Industry Onboarding”- weekly emails to link people with info to expedite their learning- I’ve heard from many that while that is very helpful, they still seek specialized guidance to dig deeper in specific fields within the battery industry. 🔋 🚀Career Consultations provide that custom guidance to accelerate and focus your growth. 👉I’ve mentored grad students, post docs, and professionals at various stages in their careers. 👉Some are looking to go back to college for an advanced degree, while others are transitioning into the battery industry after years in another industry. 👉All are dedicating themselves to making an impact & creating a sustainable future by leveraging their strengths! ♻️⚡️ I love it & am thrilled to support!! Comment “INFO” if you’d like more information about career consultations 😊 (Disclaimer: I do love to dance, but do not teach that 😂) #careeradvice #battery #technology #sustainability #career

I had another chance to put the MG Cyberster through its paces in more urban environments. These are my thoughts for Fortune. #ev #evs #electriccars #electricvehicle #electriccar #electricvehicles #electric #tesla #teslamotors #cars #electricandhybridvehicles #autos #automotive #motoring #elonmusk #teslamodel3 #mg #mgmotor #cyberster #mgcyberster

General Motors hiring Tim Twerdahl from Apple as their new vice president of product management might appear counterintuitive at a time when the company is reducing headcount by 1,000 software engineers. It isn’t. Twerdahl’s background with ApplePay among other post-sales services hints at #gm ‘s desire to keep customers engaged with post-vehicle sale digital products and services. What those could be aren’t yet known. But the company now has a digital direction that can build on the legacy of the auto industry’s first interactive and telematic based service, OnStar. #electricvehicles #ev #evs #automotiveindustry #oem #softwaredefinedvehicles #autonomousvehicles #forecasting #autoforecastsolutions
