which car companies will go bankrupt

[thrill]

I found https://www.nextbigfuture.com/2021/08/which-car-companies-will-go-bankrupt-first.html to be an interesting though short read. Our favorite company is not compared so I am curious of its "score". Of interest is the evaluation that Ford is a 50/50 shot, and VW is considered at high risk. If you follow the links in the story to the sources there is a long detailed analysis of Tesla, and IMO, it's overly optimistic. Tesla's strength is not entrenched, though they do continue to post strong sales. They've only recently been profitable, and that's only if you discount the emissions credits it can receive - a lucrative profit center that can be snipped by legislation faster than a quad-motor quarter-mile.

VW high risk? I think the Company will easily be around in a few decades

Tesla is the benchmark.

Rivian, lucid have stormy waters ahead of them.

I found that list confusing. Out of all the legacy auto makers, I think VW is in the best shape.

Chrysler is not long for this world. They have been on life support for decades!

Chrysler is just a small segment of Stellantis at this time, well overshasdowed by Jeep and RAM. Poor sales won't impact the bottom line that heavily.

I was a bigger skeptic before Rivian's S1 issuance. While $1.9B in losses the past 24-36 months looks stunning, so does their $11B investor raise and 48k preorder deposits. They seem to be taking the ramp up seriously and hopefully deliver for the consumer.
