Out of all the EV startups, I find $RIVN to be the best positioned for a world of rising interest rates. Barron's did an analysis of the cash burn situation of various EV startups and saw that $RIVN, with its current cash burn rate, is the best capitalized out of the rest. Thus, there's a lesser need for Rivian to raise capital (especially through an equity offering).

With tons of cash for more than 2 years of cash burn (at the current rate), Rivian can ride out the wave of rising rates and see smooth sailing once it sorts out its production ramp-up issues.
