About Rivian

Rivian (RIVN) is a public Other company, incorporated in Delaware and headquartered in Irvine, CA.

Equity grants at Rivian typically include restricted stock units (RSUs).

Rivian Automotive, Inc., is an American electric vehicle manufacturer and automotive technology company founded in 2009. It produces an electric sport utility vehicle (SUV) and a pickup truck, both on a "skateboard" platform that can support future vehicles and be adopted by other companies. They also produce an electric delivery van, the Rivian EDV. The EDV is sold to Amazon for its deliveries. It started deliveries of its R1T pickup truck in late 2021, R1S sport utility vehicle in 2023, and R2 midsize SUV in 2026.

RJ Scaringe founded the company in 2009 and pivoted from sports cars to electric trucks and SUVs, launching the R1T pickup and R1S SUV plus an electric delivery van built for Amazon, which is both customer and large shareholder. The 2021 listing was among the largest American IPOs, and the company then spent years working through manufacturing ramp costs at its Normal, Illinois plant. A Volkswagen joint venture announced in 2024 licenses its software and electrical architecture. Headquarters are in Irvine, California.

Rivian equity questions

How much does it cost to hedge RIVN stock?
The cost of a protective put depends on how far below the current price you set the floor, how long the protection lasts, and RIVN's option-implied volatility. A zero-cost collar lowers that cost by selling away some upside. The calculator above prices both structures off the current RIVN option chain and shows the annual cost, maximum loss, and tax treatment.
Does Rivian grant ISOs, NSOs, or RSUs?
Equity compensation at Rivian typically takes the form of restricted stock units (RSUs). Restricted stock units are taxed as ordinary income when they vest.
Do Rivian RSUs use double-trigger vesting?
No. Rivian restricted stock units (RSUs) use single-trigger vesting: each tranche becomes yours as it vests on schedule, taxed as ordinary income at that point, with no liquidity event required.
