Rivian laid off another 1% today


“This was a difficult decision, but a necessary one to support our goal to be gross margin positive by the end of the year,” Rivian said in an emailed statement (via Automotive News).

Rivian plans to cut another 1% of its workforce as the automaker works to improve profitability by the end of the year.

The statement read, “We continue to work to right-size the business and ensure alignment to our priorities.” This is the second round of layoffs from the EV startup this year.

Rivian’s CEO, RJ Scaringe, said the move was to “maximize the amount of impact we can have as a company” on the company’s media call. Scaringe explained that Rivian is “not immune to existing economic and geopolitical uncertainties.”

I don't doubt that conglomerates of investors are shorting Rivian and Lucid both, like they tried to do with Gamestop. The news just hasn't come out yet. I don't see a reason why a company successfully producing excellent products and services isn't gather investment other than the fact that established companies don't want the competition. Rivian vehicles are virtually mainstream on the roads now, it's not like the company can't be trusted to produce and support their products. Same for Lucid.
