⚑️I was on a long 3.5 h train ride πŸš‚ yesterday - so I put together some details from the Rivian βš‘οΈπŸ›» S-1 IPO πŸ“ˆπŸ“‰ filing that I personally find interesting.

Rivian is an US πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ based EV company for personal and commercial vehicles , with investments from Ford Motor Company, Amazon and others

➑️ Markets of electric premium vehicles ⭐️ and LCVs are promising - LCV driven by growth in e-commerce and shift towards zero emission vehicles in urban areas. The SUV πŸš™ segment is popular and growing in the US πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ, EU πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ί and China πŸ‡¨πŸ‡³. The pickup πŸ›» segment is especially popular in the US πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ.

➑️ It’s just the beginning ⏳ - the products and services πŸ‘©πŸΌβ€πŸ”§πŸ“²πŸ”ŒπŸž road map sounds promising. Deliver proof points is key to keep the equity story up

➑️ So far, close to 150.000 pre-orders are in the books, 100.000 for the LCVs and close to 50.000 for the SUV and Pickup

➑️ In case of a successful IPO βœ… , Ford πŸš— and Amazon πŸ“¦ could get back multiples of their early investments πŸš€

➑️ A interconnected data & analytics ↕️ backbone is the core πŸ“of a holistic user experience πŸ‘ŒπŸΌ future value creation πŸ’°πŸ’°πŸ’°

➑️ Let’s see for how long Rivian could maintain the mode of β€œEvery consumer interaction comes directly from Rivian” ☎️ - no 3rd parties, or franchises while scaling

➑️ Developing and selling EVs is expensive πŸ’Έ - since 2019, the company invested USD 2.4 billion in R&D πŸ”¬ and SGA πŸ‘©πŸΌβ€πŸ’» cots. Investments in facilities 🏭 and offices accumulated to close to USD 2 billion since 2019

➑️ Employee count πŸ§‘πŸ»β€πŸ’ΌπŸ‘¨πŸ½β€πŸ’ΌπŸ‘©πŸΎβ€πŸ­πŸ§‘πŸΌβ€πŸ”¬ is close to 7.000, upΒ 3x year on year πŸš€
