In-Depth Look Shows us What to Expect From Rivian’s Upcoming R1T

Up until a little brand by the name of Tesla came along, we saw the same rotation of automakers on repeat. This is an industry that takes a lot of money or a very innovative idea to be able to crack into. Sure, a couple of new brands have found success but most of them seem to be backed by the companies that are responsible for the brands that we already know and love.

Only time will tell how many new automakers from today end up having long-term success. It’s kind of hard to predict the future on that level. However, it does seem as if Tesla has opened the door for new companies to attempt to make electric vehicles on a grand scale. At the end of the day, while EVs function very similarly to combustion vehicles that already have seen success, being able to build a successful EV is something that the majors haven’t really pinned down just yet. We’ve seen attempt after attempt fail to gain any real traction. Therefore, it could stand to reason that a newcomer could use the opportunity to stake their claim.

This time, we take a little bit of a look inside of one of the vehicles that you’ll be seeing on the streets in 2021 and beyond. With this look at Rivian, we check out their three trim levels of their pickup truck, the R1T, that should be on the streets very soon. Between the Explore, Adventure, and Launch editions, there will be three different platforms to choose from that range between $67,500 and $75,000.

Below, we dive into how a concept like this comes to life along with what we might be able to expect from these trucks when they finally do touch public roadways. Some of these early notes give us an idea of how the brand expects to be perceived and potentially expand once they start selling.
