Rivian's Losses and Wall Street's Reaction

Rivian, an EV startup, reported a revenue loss of $1.3 billion last quarter, which means it costs them twice as much to produce and sell a car. Despite the loss, Wall Street remains optimistic due to the large cash hand of $9 billion. However, when comparing cash flow since inception, Tesla is the only startup that has made a profit of $10 billion, while Rivian has experienced losses of $17 billion, followed by Neo in China with $8 billion, Lucid with $8 billion, and various other EV startups with significant losses. These numbers highlight the challenges faced by EV startups and demonstrate that only a few have achieved success.
