GoKawiilRivian delivers record 19,248 vehicles in Q3 as R2 SUV ramps up
Rivian reported building 19,751 vehicles and delivering 19,248 in the third quarter, a roughly 45% jump from a year earlier, driven by its first full quarter selling the new R2 SUV launched in June. Full financial results are due October 29. The company expects 20,000-25,000 R2 deliveries by year-end and total 2025 sales of 65,000-70,000 vehicles across its lineup.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
Hitting its R2 targets would mark Rivian's best sales year yet after being stuck near 50,000 vehicles annually, suggesting the cheaper SUV could broaden its customer base beyond early adopters of pricier R1 models. The company is also expanding manufacturing capacity in Georgia and has partnered with Uber on robotaxi versions of the R2, moves that could matter for reaching profitability, though Rivian has said that goal has already been pushed back.
