$7.163B pro forma liquidity ÷ Q2 free-cash outflow.
Rivian's rally repaired the dilution discount, but it also carried the stock to Wall Street's average target. The next rerating needs operating proof: R2 volume, better automotive gross margin and tighter cash use. Three months of free Adventure Network charging, a $3,000 lease contribution and discounted financing may pull R1 deliveries into Q3. They also test pricing power.
Runway is a static comparison, not company guidance. Options-led moves can reverse. Incentives, R2 delays or higher working capital could pressure margins and liquidity.
