Rivian is conducting layoffs affecting several hundred service and customer-support employees, representing under 2 percent of its total staff according to reports from CNBC and The Wall Street Journal. The company reported a $3.6 billion net loss and 42,247 vehicle deliveries for the prior year, with automotive operations losing approximately $6,000 per vehicle in the first quarter of the current year. The reductions follow an earlier round of more than 600 layoffs in October and occurred one week after deliveries began for the R2 SUV.
