Summary
Rivian raised its 2026 vehicle delivery forecast from 62,000-67,000 to 65,000-70,000 units, a modest but meaningful increase after shipping only 42,247 EVs last year. The updated guidance comes despite cooling EV sales growth in the U.S. and the elimination of the $7,500 federal tax credit, and follows the launch of the company's R2 SUV.
