與特斯拉匹敵Rivian再傳上市，尋求800億美元的估值
一段時間以來，人們除了關注原本計劃6月正式交付現推遲至9月的Rivian R1T外，更多的關注點則在於Rivian上市的消息能否兌現。
近日有消息傳出，獲亞馬遜和福特汽車參與投資的高端電動汽車初創公司Rivian，已向SEC祕密提交了上市文件，並準備於今年11月在美國資本市場上市，Rivian此次上市尋求估值800億美元，該公司擬發行的規模和價格範圍尚未確定。
基於Rivian所追求的估值，如果其此次上市成功，可能將會成爲汽車企業有史以來規模最大的IPO之一。
Rivian成立於2009年，自成立以來尚未售出一款汽車，儘管如此，該車企依然在資本界受到廣泛的關注，Rivian在融資方面共完成8輪融資，籌集了105億美元。
投資方除了亞馬遜、福特汽車外，還包括T. Rowe Price、黑石資本、索羅斯基金管理公司、對衝基金Coatue、投資公司D1 Capital Partners和Fidelity管理與研究公司等。
值得注意的是，Rivian計劃在美國的德克薩斯州沃思堡附近建立一家新工廠。據悉，該工廠面積爲2000英畝，將會在2027年創造至少7500個工作崗位，每年生產約20萬輛汽車，工廠工人的最低平均年薪爲5.6萬美元，約合人民幣36萬元一年。
目前，Rivian現在有兩款車型正在推向量產，分別是電動SUV R1S和電動皮卡R1T。SUV R1S外觀與路虎攬勝極爲相似，也是特斯拉麪臨的最大威脅，根據電池組的選擇，Rivian R1S承諾一次充電可行駛240至410英裏。這比特斯拉Model X要遠得多，後者只能行駛237到295英裏。
另一方面， Rivian R1T於2019年正式亮相，新車補貼前售價爲69000美元。皮卡作爲消費汽車最爲賺錢的一部分，特斯拉也緊緊咬住這一商機，2019年推出了旗下純電動皮卡Cypertruck，相比Rivian價格更低。
雖然造型奇葩，但是自打特斯拉發佈Cybertruck電動皮卡式發佈後的第三天，其訂單總數就已經超過了20萬輛；而在2020年2月份，Cybertruck的訂單量已經飛昇至50萬輛，大約在 2021 年底正式開賣。
相比造型和價格，你會選擇Rivian還是特斯拉的Cybertruck呢？
