The figures come as RJ Scaringe recently shared that President Donald Trump‘s rolling back of the $7,500 EV Federal EV Credit would be a positive development for the automaker as it “simplifies things in the medium to long term.” Scaringe also shared that the move translates to less competition for Rivian as legacy automakers pull back on EV developments.

Meanwhile, the CEO recently sold over $1.13 million worth of the company's shares in November, selling a total of 69,890 shares of the automaker, according to recent SEC filings.
