Summary
Rivian, the Irvine-based electric vehicle maker, has implemented multiple rounds of layoffs in recent years amid efforts to reach profitability. The company laid off roughly 600 employees in October (reported as last October) — more than 4% of its workforce — and the article also states Rivian laid off nearly 1,000 workers in 2025. These cuts come as Rivian reported stronger-than-expected earnings for 2025, including $144 million in gross profit and delivery and production of about 42,000 vehicles, while still recording a $432 million automotive net loss. Management credited improved pricing, software and services performance, and cost reductions per vehicle for the turnaround, and the company is banking on the lower-priced R2 model to drive future growth.
