American electric vehicle manufacturer Rivian Automotive announces a 10% workforce reduction due to industry-wide concerns over slowing EV sales.
Rivian disclosed the layoffs alongside its Q4 earnings report, projecting no increase in production for the year compared to 2023, leading to a drop in stock prices.
Having faced previous rounds of layoffs in July 2022 and May 2023, affecting 6% of its workforce each time, this round is expected to impact over 1,000 employees out of its total 16,700.
While primarily affecting salaried employees and some hourly workers in non-manufacturing roles, Rivian declines to provide exact figures.

The production estimate is far below the prediction
With a 2024 production estimate of 57,000 vehicles, similar to 2023, Rivian’s forecast falls significantly below analysts’ average prediction of over 80,000, citing economic, geopolitical uncertainties, and pressure, especially from historically high interest rates, as reasons for stagnant production.
The company is set to launch its second-generation R2 model next month, anticipated to be a smaller, more affordable compact SUV.
