Rivian's Q3 EV sales jump 45% with new affordable R2 SUV launch

Rivian reported a 45% increase in electric vehicle deliveries in Q3, reaching 19,248 units, driven largely by the launch of the more affordable R2 SUV. The company aims to sell 20,000 to 25,000 R2 vehicles by year-end, potentially making it one of the fastest-selling EVs in U.S. history. Rivian plans to expand production with a new factory in Georgia and lower-priced models around $45,000. Success of the R2 is crucial for Rivian to reduce losses and achieve profitability, with additional growth expected from a robotaxi deal with Uber.

Rivian's surge in deliveries with the R2 SUV highlights its growth ambitions as it targets profitability. On Pluang, Rivian Automotive (RIVN) shares trade at USD 15.21, up 3.05% on the day as of Oct 02, 2026 20:31 WIB.
