Not sure how they pay it back with EV sales down and the fact they lose close to $40,000 on every sale. Rivian lost around $39,130 per vehicle in Q3, up from $32,700 per vehicle in the second quarter.

quote:

On January 16, 2025, Rivian Automotive, Inc. announced a significant agreement with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) for a loan facility worth up to $6.6 billion to develop an electric vehicle manufacturing plant in Georgia. This facility will create over 7,500 jobs and facilitate the production of the new R2 SUV and R3 crossover models, enhancing Rivian’s position in the electric vehicle industry and supporting U.S. leadership in this sector. The agreement marks a major step in Rivian’s expansion, with construction expected to begin in 2026 and vehicle production anticipated by 2028.

Half of that will be kicked back to the Biden Crime Syndicate.


How do you become a multimillionaire as a politician ?

How does your worthless dope head son become a multimillionaire without ever having a real job ?


These people should be in prison

Hunter did actually work at a legitimate law firm.....but he was promoted to partner before he was 30....

He's still always lived off his father's name/connections.

That's not bad if you're doing good things and contributing to society...he's just grifted and acted as middleman.

How are they losing $40,000 per vehicle sold and trying to expand? How are they not out of business?

The Rivian headlamps are more lame and gay looking than the Guardian caps that cowardly NFL players wear over their helmets

Because biden is granting them billions to let him launder money to himself through them. He gets billions of tax payers dollars, it's direct money to help the competition of one of his rivals, the only guy in the ev industry that has actually been able to be profitable without a grant. It's a win win situation for him. Maybe this last little money push will give his son some real binder money

Like the look of rivian better than anything Tesla has, but still this money still won’t put a dent in Tesla. It’s a $6.6B waste/bail out

The US govt pretty much owns our car companies now, or should...with as much money as they have pumped into them to provide overpaid jobs.

I’m pretty jaded about politics, probably the most “based” person I know IRL as far as believing our democracy has probably been a sham for a long time, that politicians are almost all psychopaths, etc

And still, I’m a little bit shocked at how brazen this administration has been as a lame duck.

Thats because the decision making is being done by 20 something females straight out of William and Mary.

There is no one in charge, its just a free for all.

They need to be squeezed when it comes to restricting the freedom of speech.
