Life Isn't Linear- Episode 25: Should you build an investment conviction in Rivian??

Hey everyone!  I've been spending some brain power on Rivian lately.   Rivian has been making waves as one of the all in on EV car companies.   The stock keeps dropping so I started to explore what sets Rivian apart from other EV manufacturers, their growth potential, and the various factors to consider before investing in Rivian.

They have some nice partnerships with Amazon and their well built electric pickup (R1T) truck and SUV (R1S) are head turners.  So I took some time analyze other factors driving Rivian's potential success and examine the risks and rewards of investing in the stock.

But is this enough to decide to put money towards them?  Are they the next Tesla?  Or will Rivian meet the same fate as so many other startups?

My hope is this will point you in a direction to make your own decision.  This is NOT financial advice just the end of my journey that made me come to my own conclusion.
