From the video, appears that Rivian has the best chance based on numbers it is already producing, quality of what it has produced, and cash on hand relative to the others.

Fisker and Lordstown are contracting the manufacturing of their vehicles to other companies. That allows them to operate with much less cash than companies such as Lucid and Rivian that have their own factories.

Converting neighborhood delivery vans to electric drive is the biggest idea in EVs.

Another reason why Rivian’s product diversity makes it better positioned then many others….

Rivian also has the backing of Amazon.

Canoo and Lordstown are on their way out before producing major production cars.

Lucid has SA PIF which will easily keep Lucid afloat until 2025+ when they debut their "M3" priced car. Rivian, of course, has Amazon to help keep them afloat as well as the constant hype around them they are getting from influencers and the media.

Ya and then we also have the Fisker zombie ... it just won't die!!!

Amazon owns 20%+ of Rivian (Bazos has some, too) and are using Rivian to pilot their foray into vehicle software space. Amazon has signed up Stellantis to do vehicle tech in all their brands. Amazon not going to let Rivian go down. BTW, you may not know the name Stellantis, but their brands are huge and not just on this side of the pond:

Lordstown is using Foxconn as a contract manufacturer after selling the factory to Foxconn. Foxconn is expected to start producing the Endurance pickup in a few months.

The video mentioned they need to raise $150m by end of year in order to stay afloat as well.

The Lordstown CEO clarified during an interview that the 150 million is to ramp up production next year, not to begin production this year.

I wish all EV manufacturers good luck. Rivian’s IPO was brilliantly (or luckily) timed to precede the bear market, allowing it to be in a cash position that will enable it to build a second factory and start production of the R2 with its present funding. Tesla came close to bankruptcy when it was ramping up production of the Model 3. I have an early production Model 3 (*****5800) and am happy they survived. I will test drive an R1T at the Phoenix Service Center next week and can’t wait wait to receive my R1S next year. I will also keep the Model 3.

I imagine Rivian and Lucid will likely survive. Amazon & the Saudis won’t let these companies collapse. Plus they’re both awesome cars. Fisker’s survival is questionable, but I think they might make it as a boutique, low volume, luxury toy.

Out of all of them (other than Rivian), I hope that Canoo makes it. Such an innovative and interesting design. I desperately want one, even though I have absolutely no use for it 😂
