Rivian & Tesla Long-Term US Sales Charts — Not Uplifting ... - CleanTechnica

The article analyzes the long-term US sales trends of Tesla and Rivian electric vehicles, highlighting a generally disappointing outlook for both automakers in 2025. Rivian’s electric delivery vehicles (EDV 500 and EDV 700) showed consistent sales but peaked in late 2024, with expectations of weaker performance ahead. The Rivian R1T pickup truck has seen a significant decline from its peak due to increased competition in the premium EV market and reduced pent-up demand. The R1S SUV has fared somewhat better but also experienced a sales decline since its 2023 peak, with uncertainty about whether recent sales bumps will sustain. Rivian’s upcoming R2 and R3 models are anticipated to be crucial for reversing these trends. Tesla’s flagship models also face challenges. The Model S has dramatically dropped from about 50,000 annual sales to roughly 5,000–6,000, while the Model X has held up slightly better but remains modest at 12,000
