    “Now, why would Mercedes-Benz and Rivian partner on this? The answer is of course “synergy”– the buzzword for any partnership, really.

    They wrote in a press release that they aim to achieve better cost efficiency together”

    Maybe Rivian has a patent for their van platform that Mercedes wants.

    So why hasn’t VW tried to get the “special sauce” for their Buzz?

    I didn't read the article, too lazy today, but I'm thinking that Rivian already has the factory to do this for larger vehicles. Rivian needs revenue and MB doesn't want to build a factory or tool for commercial EV vehicles.

    the VW Buzz is a quasi hippy cruising van , the Mercedes and Rivian delivery vans are more work / delivery oriented , apples and oranges
