Other outlets (The Verge) are reporting that Amazon actually only ordered their contractual minimum of 10k instead of the reported 100k, no source cited though.

Just for 2023, though. They're still planning to take delivery of 100k by 2030.

I don't think we know the unit cost of a Rivian EDV, but at $100k per vehicle, 10,000 vans is a $1 billion order.

Luckily they only lost $6.8 billion last year.
