So, we have a fleet of vans and Rivian R1Ts that go to a customer’s home or go to a customer’s place of business and can service the vehicle there. The continued ramp of the R1 product line and, of course, the EDVs from our Normal facility as well as the technologies that Claire and I both spoke to today that we are developing across our propulsion platform, our network architecture, our self-driving and, of course, software and our full software stack. And we have seen really significant progress on the line, so our lines are capable of producing or in excess of the underlying weekly output from a production perspective that we have seen to-date. We are not providing a specific target at this time in terms of the overall penetration of EDVs that we expect to produce this year. Now, in terms of the specific data coming off the vehicles, of course, we are using the data off of our self-driving platform to continue to improve and refine features. So, that’s an important distinction for us that the full localization of that supply chain is not – does not have the same tight requirements that we are seeing – that we have in the consumer vehicles. And if you take a trip to the beach or if you’re in a shopping plaza, people are naturally drawn to the vehicle and ask lots of questions and are excited to see it. And that’s borne out of the demonstrated performance in terms of line operations through quarter two and through the deep relationships and confidence we have with our suppliers. And as you speak to adding a third shift – or excuse me, a second shift later in the third quarter, what needs to happen in order to enable that pickup in production? And so it really has an amplifying or multiplying effect, given the factors that I walked through that have driven some of this headwind from a cost of goods sold perspective as we look out over the course of the second half of the year. And I will give you a little bit of that path as we see from today going from our current state to that future state of positive unit economics. We know that it consists of pricing and cost and volume, but if you could give us some thoughts on the components of that and the timing?
Gene-sequencing company Illumina cuts its earnings guidance for the full year; Toast boosts its fiscal-year forecast.
Rivian is betting on supply-chain improvements to increase production with a second shift at its Normal, Ill., plant.
Scaringe said launching a second shift will take time, but the company is already hiring and training workers. "And we certainly think that's leading to some of the accelerated demand we're now witnessing." The automaker has also loaned out R1T pickups and R1S SUVs to automotive journalists and influencers, who generally have been delivering positive reviews of the two consumer vehicles.

Toast (TOST) – Toast surged 12.9% in premarket action after the restaurant payment technology company raised its full-year earnings outlook. Poshmark reported a loss for its latest quarter on increased marketing and research and development expenses, but sales were better than analysts had anticipated. Illumina said a challenging economic environment is offsetting growth in the use of its gene-sequencing platform.

The EV automaker says that it's still on track to deliver 25000 vehicles by the end of 2022.
Bloomberg Intelligence predicts that Rivian might burn somewhere in the neighborhood of $19 billion through 2024. Deliveries now stand at 5,694 for the first half of 2022. That’s more than double the $410 million it spent in the same time period last year so analysts will be watching closely as the brand’s Q2 earnings report comes out.
Analysts applaud Rivian's ability to maintain its 2022 production guidance despite ongoing supply-chain snarls. Whether the company can execute will be ...
The maker of electric trucks posted revenue of $364 million in the quarter, beating expectations for $336 million. Analysts were cheering the company’s guidance. RIVN
The EV truck maker lost a lot of money in the second quarter of 2022.
In June of last year, the Biden administration restored a $929 million grant for the project. “In our case, we were the first to be affected by the lockdown, as we had been promoting the procurement of parts via China for a while,” Mukai said. Have a couple brewskis and sit out in a lawn chair. The rail will ultimately travel from San Francisco to the Los Angeles basin at over 200 miles per hour (322 kph) in under three hours. The new grant helps to fund “design civil infrastructure, track and systems and station platforms,” USDOT said. That compares with a 35-day supply a month earlier and a 31-day supply at the same point last year, when Cox estimated inventory at 1.2 million. It aims to hit 25,000 by the end of the year. Of that, just 9,530 were in dealers’ hands, with the remainder still in the delivery pipeline. It’s primarily due to the continued supply chain issues and the microchip shortage. Electric truck maker Rivian reported its net loss in the second quarter tripled to $1.7 billion, something we saw coming yesterday. Cox said the total represented a 37-day supply, based on its practice of using the selling rate from the most recent 30-day period. The results, while bleak, roughly met analysts’ expectations.
Rising costs resulted in a net loss of $1.7 billion for the second quarter. Rivian still holds $15.4 billion in cash as of June 30, 2022.
But those rising preorders have also put the company in a bit of a financial bind. The preorders of its consumer trucks are in addition to an existing 100,000-vehicle order from Amazon for Rivian's electric delivery vehicles. The increase in vehicle production comes as preorders for Rivian's consumer vehicles also continue to grow. That means it has the materials and equipment it needs to continue to ramp up, which is a big deal. Earlier this year, Rivian told investors that it would be limited to producing 25,000 vehicles for the full year even though it already had equipment and processes in place at its Illinois factory to support the production of 50,000. Perhaps the best news to be gleaned from Rivian's comments is what its production guidance means for the future.

That said, the company is planning for a second shift to add production in the third quarter. The company ended the quarter with $15.4 billion in cash and equivalents. A challenging business environment in Q2 is forcing Rivian to cut its financial earnings outlook for the year. As the company scales production, a negative gross profit is to be expected. Rivian’s operating expenses rose 73% to over $1 billion, compared to $580 million in Q2 2021. Rivian generated a negative gross profit in the second quarter of $704 million.

It also entails us the opportunity to invest in the first 200,000 units of capacity for R2 in Georgia. Let’s see if the company can first hit its goal of producing 25,000 units this year. Yet, the R2 platform may become a priority as incentives expect to ramp up EV demand. At the same time, Rivian is facing issues amid industrywide supply chain disruptions and rising input costs this year. Rivian’s CEO is talking about the EV tax credits included in the bill.

"We believe Rivian is in a great position to capture the massive influx of current and future EV demand," Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives wrote in a note Friday. He pointed to Rivian reiterating that it is on track to meet its goal of producing 25,000 vehicles this year as proof it's starting to turn a corner. Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe was a student of Womack's at MIT in 2009 shortly before starting Rivian. Womack said they still speak from time to time, but he is not an investor in the company. It had $2.2 billion in cash remaining following the losses. (Rivian has a backlog of nearly 100,000 orders.) Amazon owns roughly 18% of Rivian, as of Nov. 2021, and has ordered Engineers need time and money to develop vehicles and everything they need, from propulsion to suspension to brakes, from the ground up.

“We’ve been very much emphasizing supplier readiness to support this and have worked very closely to look at any parts that we think are constrained or may be constrained,” Scaringe told analysts and investors on a conference call Aug. 11. The company’s goal remains to produce 25,000 vehicles in 2022—having been cut in half in March—after making nearly 7,000 in the first half. Chairman and CEO RJ Scaringe and CFO Claire McDonough said the company’s Q2 production was still hampered by supply chain challenges but that many of the company’s suppliers are ramping up production and are ready to help Rivian add that second shift at its Normal, Illinois, facility, which has an annual capacity of 150,000 units.
