Yes, things sure have changed\u2014for Rivian and for the world\u2014since the automaker debuted in the US in 2021 and recorded the largest IPO the stock market had seen in seven years. One big change is that interest rates are higher, which makes large purchases more expensive to finance, and makes buyers cagier about purchasing anything, new cars included.<\/p>\n

The conventional wisdom on electric vehicles has shifted too. Sales data suggests electric-auto makers have made strides among higher-income early adopters, who tend to get excited about any sort of new technology. Indeed, these are the sort of drivers right in Rivian\u2019s crosshairs: weekend warriors with change to spare. But now, automakers must reach normal drivers<\/a>, who will be less patient, and less forgiving, in adapting to a new kind of car\u2014much less paying a premium for the privilege. As Scaringe put it on a recent call with investors: \u201cHow do we get the 93 percent of the market that\u2019s not buying an EV to get excited about the product?\u201d<\/p>\n
