This will be the biggest event in Rivian's history
Early on in Tesla's history, it had only a few luxury vehicles in its lineup: the Roadster, the Model X, and the Model S. All sold for around $100,000 or more depending on the package. At this time, Tesla was known for its quality, but not necessarily its scale. Years down the road, however, Tesla released two mass market vehicles: the Model 3 and the Model Y. Both were priced under $50,0000, crossing a critical threshold that made its cars available to more drivers. It was then that Tesla hit several major inflection points, becoming the multitrillion-dollar company it is today.
Rivian is in a very similar position. Right now, the company has just two luxury vehicles, both of which are priced at around $100,000. But starting in 2026, management expects to begin shipping three new mass market vehicles: the R2, R3, and R3X. Like Tesla's mass market models, Rivian's new vehicles should also be priced under the $50,000 mark.
There will be plenty of roadblocks along the way. Rivian must continue to raise billions in additional capital to fund its factory infrastructure, plus get its new vehicles to market on time. Then it must maintain its reputation for quality, a factor that is far from guaranteed. But if Rivian can execute, there's reason to believe this electric car stock will follow in the footsteps of Tesla. Expect plenty of volatility in the meantime, but this is the ideal stock for aggressive growth investors willing to remain patient in exchange for a hefty potential payout.
