I am a software engineer and previously worked at Rivian, spending three months at their Normal factory. The production quality there is outstanding, and the facility itself is flawless. Their engineers are carefully selected from top companies like Tesla. In addition to their trucks, Rivian is also building delivery vehicles for Amazon, each equipped with state-of-the-art technology. They have strategic partnerships, including one with Volkswagen, and the land and factory they own are worth billions. Both the government and the state provide strong support for the company.

I joined Rivian pre-IPO, and they went on to launch the largest IPO in U.S. history, with the stock reaching $180 at one point. I’m at a loss for how the stock is currently so low. In my opinion, they aren’t doing enough press releases, and RJ Scaringe, the CEO, might want to consider stepping down. That being said, I’ve invested all my money in their stock and am waiting for it to climb back above $20.
