Rivian is making good progress, and reaching gross margin and operating cash flow positivity were big milestones. The next big step for it will be getting its R2 SUV to market. The company expects it to have a base price of around $45,000, which should give it much more mass appeal than the R1S SUV, which starts at just under $76,000.

Rivian's Q4 hits $1.73B revenue (+32% YoY), but growth leans on credits. Unprofitability persists; R2 platform launch in 2026 critical. See more on RIVN here.
