Rivian said it produced 2,553 vehicles in the first quarter and delivered 1,227.

Despite lingering supply chain headwinds, Rivian reaffirmed expectations for producing 25,000 vehicles in 2022. The company anticipates a full-year 2022 adjusted EBITDA loss of $4.75 billion. 

"Based on the demonstrated production rates and progress we have seen in our facility, we believe if all supply constraints were resolved, our plant would have the ability to run at two times the currently expected output for the remainder of 2022," Rivian said.
