Rivian Automotive Inc. (RIVN) experienced a 5.04% plummet in its stock price during Tuesday's intraday trading session. The electric vehicle maker continues to face challenges in ramping up production and managing rising capital expenditures, raising concerns among investors.

According to reports, Rivian is grappling with stalling vehicle deliveries and escalating costs associated with plant shutdowns, supply chain constraints, and technological upgrades. The company's ambitious production targets have been missed, and its losses have mounted over the past few years.

While Rivian hopes to turn things around with the launch of its R2 SUV in 2026, analysts predict a challenging transition year in 2025. The company expects its capital expenditures to surge, further straining its financial resources. However, Rivian remains optimistic about maintaining positive gross profit margins through cost optimizations, regulatory credit sales, and expanding its software and services business.
