I was interested in Rivian until I heard - here, I think - about some side panel that, if it becomes damaged, costs something like $20k to get repaired/replaced.
Having just had a personal vehicle that cost less than that when I bought it a decade ago sustain $7.5 in damage from a freak accident, I can't imagine being willing to spend that much just so my car can look shiny and new again, assuming it is otherwise in working order (which, fortunately, mine was... opted for a $300 glass replacement and to keep the shrapnel damage on the siding since that money would by us the same model vehicle again used on the market.)
There are going to be all sorts of winners and losers games being played in DC for the next 4 years... I despise the idea that the best investment I can make might be to put it all in on DJT stock.
