The press embargo expired on the Rivian R1T yesterday, Sept 28th. Tons of review articles and YouTube videos are out.
Very nice…. Guessing he/she is one of the many that Elon is suing Rivian over. |

yeah tempted to put down a 1k deposit for the R1S to replace the 4runner. A bit worried about the size though, almost seems suburban sized.

Is there something significantly different in their battery tech or driveline? Just curious how they differentiate.

I do not believe it is any larger than the R1T since it is built off of it. The R1T is in-between a Tacoma and a F150. RJ Scaringe, the founder and CEO of Rivian is a much more likable guy. He also appears to genuinely care about people as well as the environment. Smart guy too, MIT grad with a doctorate from there as well. |
