Create a research project and analysis comparing Rivian and Tesla. Use my earlier graph as a starting point, and use the computer to research everything needed about this topic. Download all Tesla and Rivian quarterly reports needed for the data. Include any additional metrics that belong on the same charts or on separate charts. Produce spreadsheets and charts, and compare the companies from the start of production: Tesla in 2012 and Rivian in 2020, as shown in the reference chart.
Launch-stage and full-context comparisons for cumulative deliveries, quarterly delivery volume, employee headcount, market cap, cash, GAAP net income, revenue, gross margin, regulatory-credit revenue, and consumer tax-credit pricing power.
Create concise key findings that surface the most important differences in Rivian's and Tesla's launch ramps, including cash burn, regulatory-credit revenue, and consumer tax-credit pricing power.
Add controls so readers can filter by metric, switch between the launch-ramp and full-context views, and toggle nominal dollars versus inflation-adjusted dollars.
Notes
Document the assumptions, source caveats, and methodology needed to interpret the Rivian and Tesla comparison correctly.
