Rivian is still years behind Tesla, even if they licence IP from Tesla. Tesla have had a now quite a few models and the production line experience of EV, now in its 10th year of production. Its taken them quite a while to get to their target of 5K cars per week production, which they just achieved recently. They have had their fair share of problems, internally and externally. Musk is passionate about EV and its social good, Rivian and Amazon have quite different priorities. I'd not even consider a Rivian for at least 3 years even if I could afford one. I'd be wary of a manufacturer backed by Amazon.
