One of my more non-consensus bets right now is $RIVN

With ~half the country hating Elon (and generally speaking, the rich half), they might want to boycott his products

The only sexy EV manufacturer besides Tesla is Rivian. So despite the headwinds of a Trump admin towards EVs, there's a market here

I know several people who bought non-Tesla EVs specifically because of Elon.

Unfortunately one of them chose the Fisker Ocean, whoops.

Oof size: large

Exactly why I think Rivian will do well — the market craves an alternative 

And with the VW backstop, they won’t go bankrupt (my biggest concern thus far)

At this point I'm a little worried about VW going backrupt (as an ID.4 owner).

I do like Rivian, it's great on paper and looks great in person. I would consider it as an alternative for our road trip SUV, but the price point and strong position against carplay/androidauto is hard to swallow.

I'm so tired of being completely dependent on other companies' whims and software (in)competence.

Hope someone makes a more hackable car. Not sure there is anyone trying to do this?
