Rivian cuts hundreds of workers after R2 deliveries start

Rivian said the cuts were part of a restructuring aimed at helping the company scale to profitability. The company has also pushed back its profitability target in order to invest in autonomy, signaling a longer path to earnings. The update is mildly negative for near-term sentiment, though it reflects a strategic tradeoff rather than a fresh operational shock.
