Their analysis and commentary seems reasonable. Why do you call Crain's Business a shill?
It’s like articles on seekingalpha, motley fool, etc. Rehash of known concerns, aimed at getting a combination of subscribers or ad views, thus a shill.

Nothing new or insightful

Seems to me to be a local news site covering their hometown company. Valid points, but I don’t know who is going to buy them. Ford sells 12x more trucks than Rivian will in 2023 and is already the number two EV manufacturer in the US. The Japanese or Koreans don’t need Rivian. Geely is a good fit, but doesn’t have the money, nor do they need Rivian. Maybe the Germans would be interested if the price were right, but I would be surprised.

Rivian’s best bet is to go the Tesla route: turn the hype train up to 11, pump more unrealistic products, and then sell billions in stock on the secondary market. Maybe claim you’re an energy company, or something. Sell flamethrowers.

VW?
Complete the Scout project as soon as you can engineer a rebadge, while eliminating your strongest competitor.

At the right price, VW acquisition could make sense. I don’t think RJ would accept less than $40/share. He has class B shares, so he would need to be onboard.
