About the company

Rivian designs and builds electric pickup trucks, SUVs, and delivery vans, pairing off-road ability with electronics and software it develops itself. In 2021, its R1T became the first fully electric pickup truck on the US consumer market, ahead of larger rivals such as Ford and Tesla. It makes the R1T pickup, the R1S and R2 SUVs, and commercial vans in Normal, Illinois, and sells them directly online and in its own stores rather than through dealers. Its vehicles run on Rivian's own software, which gains features through updates sent over the internet, and most revenue comes from vehicle sales, with service and optional software adding more. Rivian was founded in 2009 and is based in Irvine, California.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • R2 is lifting sales: deliveries hit a record 19,248 in the September 2026 quarter, up 46% from a year earlier.
  • Uber backs Rivian's self-driving push: it pledged up to $1.25 billion in March 2026 and will buy 10,000 R2 robotaxis.
  • Room to grow: Rivian's $5 billion Georgia factory, set to start building cars in 2028, plans 7,500 permanent jobs.

What critics are saying

  • Losses still run deep: Rivian lost $837 million from April to June 2026, and its car sales lost money.
  • Layoffs keep coming: Rivian cut about 600 jobs in October 2025 and hundreds in June 2026, mostly sales and service.
  • Stock grants have shrunk: Rivian shares fell 27% from January to October 2026, versus Tesla's 17% drop.

What makes Rivian unique

  • Volkswagen buys its tech: joint-venture work for VW, Rivian's largest owner, brought in $308 million in the June 2026 quarter.
  • Amazon is its anchor customer: it ordered 100,000 custom Rivian delivery vans, and over 40,000 ran its routes by mid-2026.
  • Unlike Tesla, Rivian adds lidar: in December 2025 it unveiled its own RAP1 self-driving chip and laser sensors for R2.

Rivian's EDV van booms as Amazon sales hit $1.6B and rivals retreat

Rivian's commercial van is becoming a major revenue driver, as Amazon buys more of the electric delivery vehicles (EDVs). Amazon has paid Rivian $1.6 billion so far this year, nearly triple the previous year's amount, mostly for EDV sales. In the third quarter alone, it paid $596 million. Chief executive RJ Scaringe said Amazon is buying more vans because of their lower running costs. "It's creating true and very real structural cost advantages," he said. Rivian's rivals are retreating. Ford has sold fewer than 700 E-Transit vans this year, down 85%, and General Motors axed its BrightDrop vans. Rivian opened fleet orders to other firms last year, starting at $79,900. Scaringe said it is talking to other potential customers.

Rivian CEO says autonomy could drive "huge changes" in market share as Q3 revenue hits $2.155B

Rivian chief executive officer RJ Scaringe said autonomous driving could bring "huge changes in market share" in the car industry. Speaking on the third-quarter earnings call, he called autonomy an "inflection point" and said its cost could one day be "embedded into the price of the vehicle." Rivian's "Point to Point" supervised driving system, similar to Tesla's Full Self-Driving Supervised, is a step toward Level 4 capability planned for 2028. Software and services revenue hit $605 million, up 45% year on year, with 60% coming from its Volkswagen joint venture. Rivian expects a milestone by year-end that would unlock $250 million in equity investment from Uber, which agreed to invest $1.25 billion through 2031. Third-quarter revenue was $2.155 billion, beating the $1.984 billion forecast.

Could Rivian's R2 spark a Tesla Model 3-style turnaround? Tesla stock rose 1,364%

Rivian's new R2 could do for the company what the Model 3 did for Tesla, if it can build the vehicle efficiently. Tesla's Model 3 gross margin passed 20% in the third quarter of 2018, and its operating margin rose from 6.1% to 14.6% by the third quarter of 2021. Its split-adjusted stock climbed about 1,364% over that period. Early R2 demand looks strong. Rivian delivered 19,248 vehicles in the third quarter, up 46% year over year, and produced 19,751. The roughly $58,000 R2 Launch Edition converted reservations to orders at a higher rate than management expected. Chief executive officer RJ Scaringe said suppliers, not the factory, are limiting the ramp-up. Higher output could also improve the economics of the R1S, R1T, and Amazon vans, which share production shops with the R2. Launch costs will still weigh on third-quarter profitability, so fourth-quarter results may be a clearer guide.

Rivian shares jump 6% as Q3 revenue climbs 38% to $2.15B on R2 demand

Rivian shares rose more than 6% Friday to close at $12.16, after the electric-vehicle maker reported third-quarter revenue of $2.15 billion, up 38% from last year. Vehicle deliveries rose 46%, driven by the new R2, which launched in June. The automotive gross loss narrowed to $80 million from $130 million a year earlier. Chief executive RJ Scaringe said Rivian is targeting positive automotive gross profit by the end of 2026. Rivian delivered 19,248 vehicles and raised the low end of its full-year delivery guidance to 67,000 from 65,000. The R2 currently sells for $57,990. An R2 Premium at around $54,000 is due in late 2026, followed by an R2 Standard at $44,990 in 2027.

Rivian gives interim CFO Derek Mulvey $1.4M stock award as deliveries jump 46%

Rivian has named Derek Mulvey, 36, interim chief financial officer, effective Friday. He succeeds Claire McDonough, who leaves after nearly six years to join GE Vernova on January 1. A securities filing shows Mulvey received 125,392 restricted stock units, valued at $1.4 million at a share price of $11.74. They vest in two tranches, on February 15, 2027 and August 15, 2027. His base salary rises to $400,000, with a target bonus of 40% of base pay. Rivian is searching internally and externally for a permanent successor. Third-quarter deliveries rose 46% year over year, driven by the R2. The company narrowed its automotive loss to $80 million from $130 million, and raised its full-year delivery guidance to 67,000–70,000 units.
