Tesla really needs to buy Rivian. They desperately need more products. Rivian has them. Rivian needs cash. Tesla has that. The product portfolios complement each other. It seems like a no brainer to me.

Rivian

Competition is good. Each company can see what their competitors are doing better, and learn from them.
Right now, Rivian loses about $40,000 on each vehicle they sell. Not a lot of companies lining up to buy companies like that.
They have a nice market niche, with well appointed off road capable EV. Kind like Jeep for the electric world.
People like them, right now, because they are priced well below thier cost.
Tesla is working hard to make profitable vehicles.

I'm not much a fan of companies merging. It inevitably kills options and creativity.
Rivian's ideology is very different from Tesla's. Their product design is as well. I see them more as a competitor to Jeep's off-road adventure mentality, where Tesla is a competitor to Toyota, Chevy, etc., midsized family cars.
It's also good for the US to have multiple new manufacturers. It makes us as a nation more interesting on the world stage.
