Who else is using samsung batteries? A new battery would make me a bit leery on Rivian.

I don’t know. But I think the Kona might be. Not sure. It is a 2170 format but no idea on the chemistry. The 2170 is kind of old school but is well supported and proven tech. The non plaid model S and model X will be using 2170’s for at least a couple more years. Rivian is a new company so going with a proven format might be the safe and wise bet. Hope it works out for them.
