Rivian is repricing, moved up to 72-74, up from 57-62. I dunnnnno, seems very pricey.

That would value it at ~65B.

Larger than Hyundai ($40B) or Honda ($51B)

Yes but next year they're going to make 85% of Amazon's last mile delivery trucks which will make them the #2 EV manufacturer in the US, plus whatever consumer vehicles they manufacture

I was ready for my PFE weekly oom call to expire and be another lesson in why I shouldn’t trade options (bought in at .16). Took the day off, went to the park with the kid, checked in at lunch time - holy poo poo! Take my gains and run at 0.51.

It was only a handful of contracts and only became a gain out of pure luck of the surprise announcement so literally no lesson learned but I’m happy that the number gods smiled on me just this once. I almost covered my TSLA calls that went bust!!

They sold out manufacturing capacity for Amazon delivery vans for the next 10 years. Plus registered two more trademarks for smaller vehicles, so most likely will have 4 (up from two) consumer models available for preorder next year.

But yeah don't invest. They'll have difficulty scaling even if they're a big boy in 10 years. It might pump until the first earnings call they'll have to do as a public company and then people will bail. And I think it's risky to even wait that long. They offered everyone with a preorder to buy shares at IPO price and I passed up even on that. I'll be super glad if they get a crapload of money though, vehicles are really neat and I like their adventure charger network plan (around national and state parks).

Since I'm a dumb dumb who held CCIV through its huge pump and after it became Lucid, I wanted to make sure: for long-term capital gains timing, I'd count from when I acquired it as CCIV right? I don't have to restart the timer after it converted to Lucid?

They're effectively a puppet company of Amazon; if they can't supply Amazon, Amazon would have pulled support for them long ago, this has been years in the making

Hadlock
Nov 9, 2004

10th is ideal, if you're bullish, because they're gonna announce SoFi earnings at close of market which is going to increase exposure even further and drive up demand/price

Rivian goes public, SoFi announces earnings, stock price goes moon, atm goes brrrr, calls go brrr

Brrr

while it's possible that sofi moons, like any other stock with retail interest, their earnings are not a slam dunk.

"loan origination and sales" is like half their net income. mortgage refis and other loans like student loans. that could easily slope downward beyond expectations in Q4

robinhood still managed to lose money in Q3 and their stock is suffering. sofi's brokerage ops will have a correlation with that.

they'll probably get hype next Q though as they're hosting the super bowl in sofi stadium in 2022

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/11/06/how-intel-plans-to-catch-up-to-samsung-and-tsmc-with-44-billion-of-new-global-chip-fabs.html

quote:

“I think I have more concrete trucks working for me today than any other human on the planet,” Gelsinger said. “We have construction in Oregon, New Mexico, Arizona, Ireland and Israel. And we expect to plant our next major fabs in the U.S. and Europe before the end of this year.”

The next steps in Intel’s playbook include a chip so efficient that the company didn’t measure it in nanometers but with an even smaller unit of measurement called the angstrom. Intel said the 18a, which is in development for 2025, will accelerate the company past its competitors.

“We will be the world’s largest integrated design and manufacturer of silicon for the long term,” Gelsinger said.

INTC's rivals won't stand still, either. But I like the effort to get back into fabrication.

Eventually they run out of cash flow to pay the back office but once you hear about the line missing checks, then the merry go round stops. TSLA has been there a couple times but not many and usually it's to put the fear of God/Elon in them

Re: Rivian and Amazon trucks, Ford's electric version of their Transit van is already apparently "sold out."

There's absolutely nothing sexy about the story "Hey you know Ford's Transit vehicle? They're making it in Electric now" but it's pretty significant if Ford is able to boringly pivot their massive operation to making electric versions of their existing successful vehicles.

Not a good thing for hip, low production startups like Rivian if Ford and other established companies can do this.

Good thing for the planet if last mile industrial delivery stops belching out what's effectively untreated diesel exhaust

Our kids, and especially our kids kids are going to be :aaaaa: over the idea that our economy used to run on dinosaur squeezings the same way we think of steam power as being quaint

I'm curious how much of rivian's IP was licensed by Ford. Ford very interestingly removed their board member from Rivian at the same time they filled their S-1. Worst case you lose your entire investment in RIVN, most likely case, you lose half your investment! Best case scenario you double it

In other news the $200 I threw at global foundries last week after their IPO hasn't had terrible returns

That's been the issue with the hyped EV startups for a couple of years now. Companies like Ford, VW, Nissan etc have eased into EVs without much fuss and last I heard are out selling Tesla by a fair margin.

The startups might have a little bit of IP that gives them an edge over a specific aspect of EVs, but in the long run that is nothing on the advantage of having existing supply chains, mass production capability and distribution channels.

Do you have any sources dated in the last year that prove this claim even half way? Legit curious. Last I heard Tesla was selling ~3:1 everyone else in the BEV (not hybrid) market

Tesla is grossly, grossly overvalued but pretty sure they're still the BEV market leader by a wide margin

Depends what market you're talking about, since most sales are non-US (and most of those are by Chinese companies you've never heard of). Looks like in the first half of 2021 Tesla sold 386,000 cars, about 15% of the global EV market (and 22% of the BEV market). Electric vehicles are sustaining (easier, and eventually cheaper, to manufacture) so it's just a matter of when, not if, existing manufacturers switch over.
