$Rivian Automotive(RIVN.US)$週三公開首次亮相。備受期待的 EV 股價上漲近 30%，收盤價高於許多傳統汽車製造商。
今天，該公司的股票交易上漲了 18%，根據勞普基金會的吉恩·蒙斯特的評估，Rivian 的估值可能甚至比特斯拉更高。
我認為 Rivian 的估值是激進性以外的完整標準差。」
—— 蒙斯特週四在 CNBC 的「Squawk Box」上表示。
蒙斯特告訴 CNBC，里維安車輛的平均銷售價格約為 80,000 美元，與特斯拉的 S 型和 X 型相似。
根據蒙斯特的說法，特斯拉每年交付約 70,000 輛這些車輛。他說，Rivian 預計今年將交付約 1,000 輛車，但如果假設該公司能夠在 2023 年交付 70,000 輛車，「這意味著 2023 年的每輛交付車輛估值為 1.3 萬美元。」
根據 2023 年交貨預期，特斯拉每輛交貨車總值約為 500,000 美元。
他說，電動汽車最終是輪上的計算機，因此蒙斯特認為特斯拉和里維安是科技公司。「因此，當我想到特斯拉並考慮長遠的時候，我的看法是這可能是 2,500 美元的股票。」蒙斯特表示，他看到特斯拉和里維安之間有一個重要的區別：特斯拉在開始銷售較低的車輛之前，特斯拉沒有將其增長率提高到 50％。
Mooer們，你認為 Rivian 的市值將在未來會超過特斯拉的市值嗎？

由於華爾街預計在歷史悠久的通脹報告後以積極結束本週，股票期貨週四晚上略微上漲。
與道瓊工業平均指數相關的期貨合約上漲 51 點。標普 500 指數和納斯達克 100 指數分別增加約 0.2% 和 0.3%。

$特斯拉(TSLA.US)$ 週二下滑超過 6％。
邁克爾·伯里建議埃隆馬斯克可能希望出售一些特斯拉股票來支付他的個人債務。
Burry 也做了一個微妙的比較之間的今天的市場和 荷蘭鬱金香泡沫。
馬斯克最近提出售價值 6 億美元的特斯拉股票，如果聯合國領導能夠向他解釋這筆款額將如何解決世界飢餓。特斯拉首席執行官還推出了一項推特民意調查，詢問他是否應該賣出 10％ 的股權，這是引用美國立法者的壓力，他們正在推動「億萬富翁稅」，以針對超富有人的未實現股票收益。
Burry 的推文意味著這些可能只是藉口。「大短倉」的投資者和 Scion 資產管理公司負責人於 8 月發布了一份與 SEC 備案的鏈接，該文件指出，馬斯克已承諾約 8800 萬股，佔其總股份的 36％，作為截至 6 月 30 日的私人貸款的抵押品。
