Pretty bad. I don't think they are going out of business, but they do need to raise cash, slowdown burn. Not being an expert, I'm only making an educated guess

Rivian was losing $32,500 per vehicle but that went up to $43,000 in Q1 2024. They are counting on the R2 to push them into profitability how they plant to do that exactly don't know. R2 supposedly will start at $40,000 and be profitable for Rivian that will require a dramatic decrease in production cost.
R2 is a 2026 vehicle I think it's very obvious Rivian will soon be trying to raise more money.

What doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me is waiting until Georgia is up and running before bringing the R2 to market. Plant in Normal should have capacity to build the R2 but I guess they don't want to build the line in 2 places. March 7th is going to be very telling of their future.
Anecdotally, I'm starting to see a lot more Rivians aside from mine out and about. Product aside they need to get service stations out there to start delivering outside of the coasts

one interesting point in the video is that earlier on people bought ev's as an additional car.
now a load more buyers are trading in a car to buy an ev.
another point is 2/3rd ev's sold are tesla, and other brands are having a major hard time because of all the tesla price cuts.

Saw recently my neighbor has an EV 9 and a C7 Vette. EV 9 parked in the garage but they have the charger mounted outside the garage

Probably doesn't apply to anyone here but just in case, small number of Lightning's have loose nuts on high voltage cables.
