Fun with numbers....
Total vehicle sales for Rivian: 2,425 as of March 8th (that is TOTAL, not 2021)
In 2021, they sold 920.
Total vehicles sold by Audi in 2021: 1,680,512
Total electric vehicles sold by Audi in 2021: 81,875
Total electric vehicles sold by Porsche in 2021: 41,296
Total electric vehicles sold by VW in 2021: 369,000
So in total, VW (the company) sold roughly 500,000 electric vehicles in 2021, vs Rivian selling 920. And that ignores the millions of ICE vehicles that VW also sold.
And people were excited to buy Rivian at twice the valuation of VW.
