Rivian is walking back a price increase for its electric trucks and SUVs, saying it will honor prices for customers who previously ordered a vehicle

Rivian Automotive Inc. is walking back a hefty price increase for its electric trucks and SUVs that was put into effect earlier this week, saying it will now honor prices for customers who previously ordered a vehicle.
