Rivian Automotive (RIVN) stock is in focus after the company said it has now started production of its R2 midsize electric SUV at its Normal, Illinois, facility.
The automaker is committed to delivering at least 22,000 R2 vehicles this year, which, if achieved, would make it one of the fastest-scaling new electric vehicle (EV) launches in U.S. history.
