Management and Optionality hold this up; Risk is the soft spot.

The price needs 30.7% growth a year for ten years. The AI thinks 28.0% is achievable, at a 8.0% margin.

Rivian looks like a reasonable bet for patient investors because its core vehicle business is scaling fast with R2 momentum while the software and licensing side adds high-margin upside that the current price only partially reflects. The big picture is that heavy spending today is building a platform that should deliver much better cash flow in five to seven years once volumes hit scale and software becomes a bigger slice of revenue. The main risk is that supplier bottlenecks or a broader EV slowdown keep losses high longer than expected.
