This is one element of the unraveling of the "Tesla is special" meme. Tesla is special because they went pure electric and they didn't end up subscale and out of money like almost every other attempt. Rivian got $5 billion by saving VW's software situation and that might put them over the hump. Tesla, however isn't special because of FSD. Tesla isn't going to stay special with an out of date battery architecture. Tesla didn't change the definition of a pick up truck. And a six year journey to robotaxis is a transparently cynical attempt to keep the meme alive.
