Paperback. What kind of person decides, as a child, that he is going to build a car company and then quietly spends the next 20 years making it real?MEETING RJ SCARINGE takes you inside the life and thinking of the engineer who founded Rivian and chose one of the hardest possible paths in modern business. Starting with nothing but mechanical skill and an idea, RJ Scaringe set out to build an electric vehicle company in an industry where even giants collapse. No inherited wealth. No shortcuts. No media spectacle. Just preparation, years of rejection, and an uncommon ability to stay focused when progress was invisible.This book traces his story from a childhood spent rebuilding engines in a neighbor's garage to the founding of Rivian in 2009, when starting a car company was widely considered irrational. You will see how his education became more than degrees. They became a strategy for earning credibility when he had no capital. You will follow the early years when raising money meant explaining why failure was the reasonable expectation and why he was willing to try anyway.Inside these pages, you will discover how Rivian was built from the inside out. How the first hires were made. Why the brand was shaped around real human experiences instead of marketing trends. What it took to launch vehicles, build factories, negotiate supply chains, survive near-collapse, and take a company public. The book goes beyond headlines to explain how modern electric vehicles are actually developed, how autonomy and software are reshaping transportation, and why manufacturing may be the next great frontier.This is also a personal story. It explores the cost of extreme focus, the strain on family life, the weight of responsibility that comes with leadership, and the reality behind sudden wealth and public valuation swings. Scaringe's rise to an estimated $3.4 billion net worth in 2021 and the market decline that followed are examined not as drama, but as part of what it means to build in a capital-intensive world where patience is often misunderstood.MEETING RJ SCARINGE is not a book about hype. It is about how real companies are built. It is about engineering, long-term thinking, calm decision-making, and creating something before the world is ready for it.Whether you are an entrepreneur, engineer, investor, student, or simply fascinated by the future of electric vehicles, clean energy, and modern manufacturing, this book offers rare insight into what it truly takes to build a company from scratch in one of the hardest industries on earth.If you want to understand the mindset behind Rivian, the realities of building an electric car company, and the lessons hidden behind one of the quietest figures in modern technology, this book will change how you see innovation.

Informazioni sul diritto di recesso
Diritto legale di recesso
Hai il diritto di recedere dal presente contratto entro 14 giorni senza fornire alcuna motivazione.
Il periodo di recesso scade dopo 14 giorni dal giorno in cui tu o una terza parte, diversa dal vettore e da te indicata, acquisisce il possesso fisico dell'ultimo bene o dell'ultimo lotto o pezzo.
Per esercitare il diritto di recesso, compila e invia elettronicamente una dichiarazione esplicita sul nostro sito Web, alla voce “I miei acquisti” nella sezione “Mio account”. Ti comunicheremo senza indugio una conferma di ricezione di tale recesso su un supporto durevole (ad es. via e-mail).
Per rispettare il termine di recesso, è sufficiente inviare la comunicazione relativa all'esercizio del diritto di recesso prima della scadenza del periodo di recesso stesso.
Effetti del recesso
In caso di recesso dal presente contratto, ti rimborseremo tutti i pagamenti ricevuti, compresi i costi di spedizione (ad eccezione dei costi supplementari derivanti dalla tua eventuale scelta di un tipo di spedizione diverso dal tipo meno costoso di consegna standard da noi offerto).
Potremo effettuare una detrazione dal rimborso per la perdita di valore dei beni forniti, qualora tale perdita sia il risultato di una manipolazione non necessaria da parte tua.
Eseguiremo il rimborso senza indebito ritardo e non oltre 14 giorni dal giorno in cui saremo informati della tua decisione di recedere dal presente contratto.
Il rimborso sarà effettuato utilizzando lo stesso mezzo di pagamento da te usato per la transazione iniziale, salvo che tu non abbia espressamente concordato altrimenti; in ogni caso, non dovrai sostenere alcun costo quale conseguenza di tale rimborso.
Possiamo trattenere il rimborso finché non avremo ricevuto i beni oppure finché non avrai fornito la prova di averli rispediti, a seconda di quale condizione si verifichi per prima.
