Tesla, Rivian, and Lucid's EV Competition

Musk is in a position where he can freely talk about the EV industry as he has been CEO for almost two decades now for a company that heavily borders on clean energy transportation. Tesla started in 2004, and it was not until the late 2010s that the company gained traction for its EV releases, where the Model 3 gave the world a new view of electric cars.

There are many plans set for the clean energy company's career track in the future, and a so-called "Master Plan Part 3" by its tech CEO is already public knowledge. Here, there are many future projects and venture that the company will work on, and it will help establish its name as a common household title in the progression of electric mobility.

Rivian and Lucid are fortunate to start their journeys during a time when electric vehicles are beginning to gain fame among the public and where there is a sure market for all its ventures. Now, a piece of advice came from one of the most renowned tech entrepreneurs in the industry, and it is something it got for free, as a warning.
