I think people are discounting the delivery van. I bet that is a very well designed vehicle. If the range was extended and they went mass market that could be a very good product. I bet alot of contractors would go for it. EV RV? Mormon families.Another difference between Tesla and Rivian is the fact that Rivian is being backed by Amazon (last I heard, it was a 20% stake) at its IPO. While this fact may bolster confidence in Rivian's ability to survive, it also complicates how Rivian will operate: We have already seen Amazon use its influence to supersede consumer purchases. If Rivian doesn't build out the support structure (service centers, galleries/stores, charging infrastructure), how well will they do with the consumer market once Amazon has electrified their fleet?
