Rivian has over 13 billion cash on hand. They are fine. Once supply chain issues are sloved, their factories are ready to go full steam. Their product is on the leading edge of EV tech. They just need to scale up production next year and start hitting targets.

If you test some ev's alone but test it next to something in the same class often you find faults.

C/D and others have stellar review for R1T. It is probably one of the best EV's on the market today, in another league than a F150 Lightning. No one is producing more advanced drivetrains. As far as the R1S, I put it in a different category than the iX. It is more of a Luxury offroader. At it highest suspension setting it has more ground clearance than a Wrangler. Rivian is building adventure vehicles, not full on luxury people movers. This comparo would be like comparing a Bmw X5 vs Defender 130, they are just different vehicles.
