Rivian is still burning money through money and only selling 50k cars per year. Bankruptcy is more likely than success.

Carvana has made it fun to buy cars and easy. And the customers like it, hard to bet against that.

All new cars are like 50k now on average without features.... you might as well buy your dream car, because it is about the same cost.

There was an article today cant find it anymore where an analyst said the dmv ruling shouldn't affect tsla because they have 60 days to change the marketing. The marketing that tsla said the cars drive themselves. That they are using to raise the stock price from 200 to ath promising robotaxis. They legally can't say cars drive themselves.
