 And Volkswagen has announced they plan to invest up to $5 billion in electric vehicle maker Rivian, beginning with an initial investment of $1 billion. Rivian officials say the capital is expected to carry the company through the production ramp-up of its smaller R2 SUVs at its plant and normal. Shares of Rivian soared more than 50% during after-hours trading on Tuesday. The stock has been under pressure due to the company's cash burn and significant losses. All right. I'm sorry, but I can't let it go.
