Tesla's EV rival Rivian warns Trump's trade war means it will sell fewer of its American-made cars than expected
- Rivian Automotive Inc. Reported first-quarter 2025 financial results and revised its full-year delivery forecast downward due to trade tensions in the U.S.
- The company attributed higher vehicle prices and reduced demand to the 25% tariffs imposed during the Trump administration and ongoing changes in international trade policies.
- Rivian produced 14,611 vehicles and delivered 8,640 units in Q1 but expects 40,000 to 46,000 deliveries for 2025, down from an earlier target of 46,000 to 51,000.
- The company generated $1.24 billion in revenue, reflecting a 3% year-over-year growth, and recorded gross profit for the second quarter in a row, totaling $206 million.
- Rivian’s results and supply chain strategy suggest it may sustain modest profitability in 2025 despite tariff-related cost pressures and reduced delivery expectations.
