Rivian Faces Challenges Amid Ambitious EV Plans and Investor Optimism
Originally Published 1 year ago — by TheStreet

Rivian reported a significant Q3 2024 earnings miss, with net losses of $1.1 billion and a 35% revenue drop due to a key component shortage affecting its Enduro motors, caused by a miscommunication with supplier Essex Furukawa. This issue has forced Rivian to lower its annual production guidance and highlights supply chain challenges. Despite these setbacks, Rivian is focusing on its upcoming R2 model and has secured a partnership with LG Energy Solution for advanced batteries, aiming to stabilize its production and financial outlook.
