The session slide resets the conversation around an EV startup still working to prove its financial footing, erasing $1.7 billion of market value before the closing bell.

How the stock settles will signal whether this is a one-session flush or the start of a broader repositioning.
Rivian sits in a cohort of EV startups where investor sentiment can shift sharply on thin news, making session-level price action worth tracking more carefully than it would be for a mature automaker. A close near the lows would confirm sustained selling pressure rather than intraday volatility alone.
