Rivian, the most fierce new car-making force in the United States, is Tesla's "mysterious nemesis", known as the second Tesla.
Just now, the "next Tesla" announced its first report card after the listing, and in the third quarter of this year, his family achieved revenue of $1 million (about 6.37 million yuan) and a net loss of $1.233 billion (about 7.9 billion yuan). This result is not good, but it is also expected by everyone, but it has always been touted that Rivian has a promising future.
In November this year, Rivian received support from Amazon, Ford and others, raised $13.7 billion in successful IPO, and the market value exceeded the $100 billion mark the day after listing, becoming the second largest listed car company in the United States after Tesla.
Before Rivian went public, Musk had written a mockery about whether there would be an electric car company that was valued at less than $1 billion without producing a car. I also feel that the world is really strange. It seems to be a satire on the Rivian, who was not yet in mass production at that time.
As soon as Musk's voice dropped, Rivian delivered the first R1T and R1S in September and December, respectively. As of mid-December, Rivian had produced 652 R1 series electric vehicles and delivered 386.
In order to further slap Musk in the face, Rivian officials announced that they will spend $5 billion (about 31.8 billion yuan) to build a second plant in Georgia, which is expected to be put into production in 2024 and can reach 400,000 vehicles per year. However, after the mass production of Rivian, there is still a long way to go to the road to profitability, and institutions such as Bank of America Securities believe that it will not be possible for Rivian to make money until 2025.
That being said, Rivian, who has the support of a large number of big guys, is a electric vehicle company that is not short of money, after all, Tesla is the only one in the new energy outlet, which is not a good thing for the market. So the big guys hope that there is a car company that can compete with Tesla, and no matter how much money is thrown, it will not be painful for the time being, and Rivian has been pushed to the front of the stage.
