Rivian kicked off the month with its CFO, Claire McDonough, sharing new information at the Barclays 2023 Global Automotive & Mobility Tech Conference regarding the company's development of a cheaper and simplified battery pack structure to be used in future R1 EVs.

McDonough noted in the interview that Rivian expects to become gross margin positive in 2024.
