The article below discuses whether or not Rivian will have dealerships or service centers. Read the article then comment your thoughts down below after you give it a read! I think what they are doing is awesome! Learning from Tesla ... haha.

Thanks for the post, good read.
I'm not sure how well that would fly with legacy dealerships. Imagine the owner of a F-150 rolling in for an oil change then having a talk with the owner of a Rivian R1T, or when the dealership starts selling EV's that are competing with the Rivians.
Perhaps a better approach is a national startup that offers Service & Support to owners of EV's that don't have dealerships. The EVS&S could obtain contracts with the individual EV manufacturers. They would offer support as to how the vehicle works, diagnose problems and/or effect repairs. As Quickie Lubes go under the buildings could be repurposed to that end.
Interesting read..."Electric cars eat into one of dealerships' main profit centers, service, because they don't need oil changes, spark plugs, or even air filters."
I never actually thought about that. Now to think of it, what Rivian is doing...makes a lot of sense.
