Apeweek, 08 Apr 2023Sorry, but Tesla, first quarter was 422,000 deliveries. They will hit 2 million this year, or... moreThat's why make all sense for Elon Musk buy Sigma lithium company.

This document only states the average battery capacity for a small car category as viewed by Tesla, not necessarily the model 2's capacity as I suspect the compact car will have a range of capacities like the model 3 and Y. Also the 42MM units is expected global annual sales in that category of vehicles. The model 2 will be one of many vehicles making up that 42MM unit sales volume.

Rivian is producing trucks for a small subset of global buyers. Large pickup trucks and SUVs are not the most popular cars worldwide. Small cars are the bread and butter of the global fleet..

The Model 2 (won't be it's real name) is getting it's own factory, with a 4 million per year production capacity.

It's GM that has the capacity problem. Despite high demand, GM couldn't even hit 5% of Tesla's run rate with their Bolt EV.

Production capacity doesn't just grow on trees. Currently with all their production capacity they can't build a million cars a year. Even if they put all their factories to work building the model 2 it would still take 20 years to get that many built.

Zero current models that compete with Rivian, and now apparently zero future models that compete with Rivian. Good to see as a Rivian stockholder, but a little strange from Tesla's perspective.
