We were thrilled to welcome the Rivian StoriesOpens in new tab community at our Venice Hub this past weekend. People came from around the SoCal area and beyond for the meetup — carpooling from hours away, even driving down from Oregon to be there.
No one came as far to be there as Rivian's head of software, Wassym Bensaid, who had just arrived back to California from Serbia. He suggested we hold a Q&A on all things tech for the group. Listening to ideas and feedback from our community was the highlight of the evening for our team.
“You are all a very important part of helping us make a better vehicle.”
“I was looking for a truck. It took me two years, then a Rivian popped up — it took me back to my 20s. I feel like a kid again.”
“I have my garage painted Compass Yellow and I have the bird chirp as my ringtone. When I meet the people it brings my affinity for Rivian to another level.”

“We’ve actually kind of become a family. We just get together.”
