Doubtful. Even established automakers have plenty of challenges. I can't imagine starting up makes things easier.

I'm just sort of looking at how I'm seeing more of them on the road recently and how they have increased manufacturing to operating 24/7 shifts trying to keep up with the demand. I think there is definitely a demand for their vehicles.

Yes they just have a feature where the batteries spontaneously drain while parked 😬

Idk much about them currently. I was involved in the startup phase in 2020-21 when they converted a shitty Mitsubishi plant into their facility. It's pretty remote so I doubt that helps attract talent. Back then it was pretty chaotic but so is everywhere else.

And I also notice that even though Ford sold a large portion of their stake in Rivian, they maintained a 12% stake and Amazon maintains about 27% ownership. Thats about 30% ownership by strong companies.
