The EV company is telling investors to expect better sales than originally predicted, thanks to a strong start for the “make or break” R2 vehicle. Rivian previously projected sales of 62,000-67,000 vehicles for the year, but now expects to deliver 65,000-70,000. This comes after Rivian said it delivered 12,194 vehicles in the second quarter, a 14.4 percent gain year over year. The new forecast could signal strong demand for the R2, which just started customer deliveries last month. For a deeper look at what the R2 means for the company, check out my recent feature.
