Rivian Automotive, Inc.

Rivian reported Q3 production of 19,751 vehicles (up 85% year-over-year) and 19,248 deliveries (up 45%), and reaffirmed full-year 2026 guidance of 65,000–70,000 vehicles. The company indicated roughly 6,000 R2s were likely delivered this quarter as R1 and van volumes remained flat, supporting Rivian's aim to scale. Rivian also said the R2 met its lifetime emissions reduction goal four years ahead of schedule. » More on theverge.com

Rivian reported in its 2025 impact report that the R2 Performance delivers a 50% lifetime greenhouse gas reduction versus the 2022 R1 lineup, reaching its 2030 climate target four years early and producing 58% fewer emissions than a comparable petrol vehicle. The company credits improvements in aerodynamics, weight, efficiency and use of recycled/biodegradable materials across components like floor mats, trim and battery resin trays. Rivian expects about 70,000 vehicle deliveries in 2026 driven largely by the R2 and also published AI guidelines and governance measures in the report. » More on theverge.com

Rivian's shares fell more than 25% in three months after reporting a $833 million loss while delivering just over 12,000 vehicles in the quarter. The recently launched R2 debuted near $58,000 despite an advertised $44,990 base price, slowing demand and leaving it positioned against the dominant Tesla Model Y. Rivian's Autonomy+ trails Tesla's driver-assist system, and U.S. EV sales fell roughly 20–25% year‑over‑year, weighing on near-term prospects. The stock is likely to trade sideways until Q3 results provide fresh guidance. » More on finance.yahoo.com
