rivian shines as ford slashes production a 2023 ev industry snapshot

A leading electric vehicle manufacturer, recently shared its production and delivery figures for the fourth quarter and the entire year of 2023, reflecting a noteworthy accomplishment in the electric vehicle industry. The company, based in Normal, Illinois, reported producing 17,541 vehicles in the last quarter, culminating in a total of 57,232 vehicles for the year, thus surpassing the company's forecast of 54,000 vehicles for 2023.

In terms of deliveries, Rivian successfully delivered 13,972 vehicles in the fourth quarter, leading to a total of 50,122 vehicles handed over to customers throughout the year. This success is particularly significant considering the broader market context, where Ford, a key competitor, has reduced the production of its F-150 Lightning, a rival electric pickup. Despite these market dynamics, Rivian's achievements in production and delivery have exceeded expectations, highlighting its growing influence in the electric vehicle sector.

Upcoming Financial Results Announcement

Looking ahead, Rivian has scheduled the release of its financial results for the fourth quarter of 2023 on February 21st, after the market closes. The company plans to conduct an audio webcast at 5:00 p.m. ET on the same day to discuss these results and provide insights into the company's performance and future prospects. Stakeholders and interested parties can access the live webcast through Rivian's website, with a replay available for four weeks post-broadcast.

Forward-Looking Statements and Risks

Rivian's announcement includes forward-looking statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements, which involve predictions and anticipations about future production ramp-up and levels, are based on current expectations and projections. However, they are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could significantly impact actual results. These factors have been discussed in Rivian's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Quarterly Report for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. While the company believes in the reasonableness of these statements, they are inherently uncertain, and reliance on them should be tempered with caution. Rivian also notes that while it may update these forward-looking statements in the future, it is under no obligation to do so.

The text of the story has a Private Securities Litigation disclaimer.I guess all media will develop and implement a similar AI disclaimer or get their butt sued for copyright infringement just like the NY Times suing Microsoft's IA. Based on the above, I foresee another wave of reporters let go by media companies. I wonder if another situation like Watergate will be overlooked by IA due to the lack of reporters who smell a story for what its truly worth!!!🤫🤫🤫🤫

2ACL I have a soft spot for high-performance, shark-nosed Lancers (I considered the less-potent Ralliart during the period in which I eventually selected my first TL SH-AWD), but it's can be challenging to find a specimen that doesn't exhibit signs of abuse, and while most of the components are sufficiently universal in their function to service without manufacturer support, the SST isn't one of them. The shops that specialize in it are familiar with the failure as described by the seller and thus might be able to fix this one at a substantial savings to replacement. There's only a handful of them in the nation, however. A salvaged unit is another option, but the usual risks are magnified by similar logistical challenges to trying to save the original.I hope this is a case of the seller overvaluing the Evo market rather than still owing or having put the mods on credit. Because the best offer won't be anywhere near the current listing.
Peter Buying an EV from Toyota is like buying a Bible from Donald Trump. Don’t be surprised if some very important parts are left out.
Sheila I have a 2016 Kia Sorento that just threw a rod out of the engine case. Filed a claim for new engine and was denied…..due to a loop hole that was included in the Class Action Engine Settlement so Hyundai and Kia would be able to deny a large percentage of cars with prematurely failed engines. It’s called the KSDS Improvement Campaign. Ever hear of such a thing? It’s not even a Recall, although they know these engines are very dangerous. As unknowing consumers load themselves and kids in them everyday. Are their any new Class Action Lawsuits that anyone knows of?
Alan Well, it will take 30 years to fix Nissan up after the Renault Alliance reduced Nissan to a paltry mess.I think Nissan will eventually improve.
Alan This will be overpriced for what it offers.I think the "Western" auto manufacturers rip off the consumer with the Thai and Chinese made vehicles.A Chinese made Model 3 in Australia is over $70k AUD(for 1995 $45k USD) which is far more expensive than a similar Chinesium EV of equal or better quality and loaded with goodies.Chinese pickups are $20k to $30k cheaper than Thai built pickups from Ford and the Japanese brands. Who's ripping who off?
