Rivian deliveries jump 46% as R2 offsets US EV slowdown

· Automotive & EV · United States

Rivian reported a 46% jump in deliveries, defying the post-incentive slowdown in the US EV market, with the R2 playing a key role. The company's path to profit is said to now run through autonomy rather than R2 volumes alone.

Why it matters：A challenger brand growing against a slowing market tests whether newer EV makers can scale profitably once subsidies fade, and points to autonomy as the next competitive battleground.

Key points

  • Deliveries rose 46%
  • Growth came despite the post-credit US EV slump
  • Profitability is increasingly tied to autonomy
