According to the document-“Based on our current production forecast, we expect to complete the pre-purchase backlog of approximately 55,400 R1 cars by the end of 2023.”
But why is the manufacturing speed so slow? You can blame it on a global health emergency. From the same document it submitted to the US Securities and Exchange Commission, it can be seen that “the collateral impact of the new crown pandemic has affected our business and operations, from the construction of facilities to the installation of equipment to the supply of vehicle components. The continuing shortage of semiconductors is To cause problems, the battery supply dilemma is also a problem, and there are countless other risk factors.”
The good news is that Rivian’s goal is to increase production as quickly as possible. The automaker’s goal is to increase the number of cars manufactured at its factory in Normal, Illinois to 200,000 vehicles sometime in 2023. This total will cover R1T pickups and related models-such as R1S SUV (expected to be launched next month), electric delivery vehicles (Electric Delivery Va)-Amazon has ordered 100,000 units.
It is hoped that Rivian can solve its production problems as soon as possible and deliver R1T to customers, who are undoubtedly very eager.
