Right from the start, Rivian developed its own architecture in which the car electronics are divided into several zones with their own computers. In the first generation of the Rivian platform, 17 of these control units were still required. Now, for the second generation, the number has been reduced to seven. In recent years, the company has recognized that established manufacturers have difficulties with their own software. The way the (OEM) car manufacturers' business has run for decades: A lot of technology was bought in from various suppliers, "as a result you had a lot of small computers that were tied to very specific functions". If you come from this world, you find it difficult to develop an architecture based on the zone principle, in which one control unit takes over functions across several areas. Rivian arranged these ECUs (Electronic Control Units) throughout the vehicle to shorten the distance for data transmission.

Wild stat: General Motors sold more units of its Chevy Trax in Q1 than *all* its Cadillac sales combined. (Not a joke) Here's why: — Chevy Trax has a starting MSRP of just $21,500. — Not many new vehicles are transacting under $25k nowadays. The result: 37,588 units of the Chevy Trax were sold in Q1—a *500%+* year-over-year increase. Affordability wins once again... and I'd expect a lot more of this in the coming years.

The Chevy Trax outselling all Cadillacs combined isn’t just a stat; it’s a reality check for the auto industry. With a starting MSRP of $21,500, the Trax is proof that affordability isn’t just attractive; it’s essential. In a market where sub-$25k new cars are a rarity, selling 37,588 units in Q1 isn’t just impressive—it’s a statement. This is more than numbers. It’s a clear message that the future favors the practical and the accessible. Luxury has its place, but it’s practicality that’s winning the masses. The auto industry needs to take note. It’s time to pivot, innovate, and make quality vehicles that don’t break the bank. The Chevy Trax's success is a sign of the times: affordability is king, and it's reshaping the market. Let's not just watch; let's lead the charge. #jaksongpartners #tribalmark #grit2greatness #sobacademy #gpaformula

The VW Beatle. For many it was their first car and for others it was the beginning of a two car family. Who ever thought an air cooled engine mounted in the back end of a not so stylish vehicle would sell like mad as a mode of transportation? If you thought a VW Beatle was a simple and affordable mode of transportion you would be partly right. The success of the Beatle was in it's innovation that changed the automotive industry for decades. Motions pictures even gave "Herbie, The Love Bug" a fictional character, LIFE. Never under estimate whats under the hood. What's the uniqueness in you, that will propel you towards your success? #success #innovation #accountants #profitablepractice
