While the post did not directly discuss Tesla, its inclusion in the TSLA conversation set indicates that retail traders were drawing parallels between emerging tech plays and established EV leaders.

Rivian’s progress on autonomous driving and robust liquidity position may have spurred comparisons to Tesla’s own robotaxi ambitions, contributing to the uptick in TSLA discussion.
