Rivian delivered 8,640 vehicles in Q1 2024, its worst quarterly performance since Q4 2022.
The slow start in deliveries is not expected to impact Rivian's guidance for the year, with a target of 46,000 to 51,000 EVs by the end of 2025.
Rivian faces challenges as it aims to release a more affordable mass-market EV in 2026, but has reworked its flagship models to reduce losses on each sale.
Uncertainties for Rivian include potential impacts of government policy changes, such as the imposition of a 25% tax on imported cars and potential reduction of the federal EV tax credit.
