It hasn't been a great start to the year for Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ: RIVN) stock. Shares are down 16% year to date as investors' faith in the electric vehicle (EV) growth story dwindles. The company itself is still in its early stages when expenses remain high and earning a profit is still relatively far out. One would think some of those investors would instead seek a profitable EV maker like Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA).
