Rivian named as biggest threat to Tesla’s Cybertruck

AutoExec Summary
Start-up company Rivian is emerging as a major competitor to Tesla’s Cybertruck, which has already received over 250,000 deposits. Rivian, based in Michigan, has raised over $4 billion in funding and has signed deals to produce delivery vans for Amazon and provide EV technology to Ford. With plans to begin production next year, Rivian is gaining traction among investors and is positioned to give tough competition to Tesla, particularly in the truck and SUV categories. The Rivian R1T electric ute is expected to have a towing capacity of 4500kg and a range of up to 640km. However, the expected price of $US65,000 could be a stumbling block.
