Yes,Rivian should be real competition.They've hired former Tesla people and other good talent.And Saudi Arabia,Qatar,or Emirates is backing them.
We've got over 260,000,000 ICE vehicles that need to come off the road,so the more the better.Elon Musk doesn't care.
I don't know him or the Tesla organization,so I haven't seen inside the kimono.
I have no idea what they're up to.
