Many investors were first introduced to Rivian (RIVN 3.14%) when the electric vehicle (EV) maker announced its blockbuster deal and partnership with Amazon in February 2019.

Rivian (RIVN 1.70%) and Lucid Motors (LCID 1.17%) entered 2025 in different gears.

Rivian Automotive (RIVN 1.70%) has a very exciting future ahead of it. While sales growth should be lackluster in 2025, next year everything will change.

Rivian's initial promise has faded amid ongoing losses, weak BEV demand, and significant capital burn since its high-profile IPO. The Volkswagen alliance provides a crucial financial lifeline, but Rivian's long-term independence and profitability remain highly uncertain. Production guidance has been cut, and regulatory/political headwinds, including tariffs and potential loss of federal loans, add further risk.
