Rivian R1T

The Rivian R1T might get an exciting upgrade. The electric pickup can drive through 3+ feet of water, rock crawl a 100% grade, and take off like a sports car. But what if the Rivian R1T had a mobile projector that could be easily stored in the gear tunnel? That’s what Rivian is scheming up.

Less than a week after pulling its first demand lever to get new customers behind the wheel of its existing R1T pickup inventory, Rivian is further incentivizing would-be drivers by introducing a lease program for the first time, ahead of Tesla’s Cybertruck launch on November 30th.

Following a promising Q3 report that offered a rare rise in production targets, American EV automaker Rivian is looking to maximize sales of its existing R1T pickup inventory to round out 2023. Today, Rivian announced it will offer its Home Charging Bundle, which includes a $2,000 credit for installation, to customers who purchase their R1T from its inventory. More details below.

The brains behind the first fold-out cabin camper unveiled its latest platform this week. CAMP365 released its T Model, designed to fit EV truck beds, including the Rivian R1T, Tesla Cybertruck, Ford F-150 Lightning, and others.

Rivian earned its place in the history books over the weekend. The Rivian R1T won the longest off-road rally in the US, the 2023 Rebelle Rally, in a pure EV for the first time.

Rivian is rolling out one of its most significant software updates to date starting this evening. We’ve been driving the R1S version around for the better part of two weeks and can take you through what’s new and what it is like to use.

Rivian has added the “Max pack” option to its R1S configurator, and added “Max pack” as a filter criteria to its R1 shop, suggesting that vehicles with the massive 400+-mile pack will be shipping soon.

Update: Oct 3: Rivian has made it official, the Max pack is here, and deliveries have started for Max pack R1Ts.

Championed as the Apocalypse Nirvana, this Rivian R1T has been converted into an all-electric off-road beast. With 850 HP and a complete Kevlar paint job, the Nirvana looks ready to tackle any terrain.

As the American EV maker ramps up production to meet its goal of building 52,000 electric vehicles this year, it’s never been easier to own a Rivian EV. Rivian’s new R1T Dual-Motor Large Pack configurations are hitting the R1 shop with enough range to make it from Boston to Philly with some to spare.

You may notice your Rivian driving a little smoother lately. That’s because Rivian just improved the ride quality on its R1S and R1T models through its latest software update.

Nearly a year after informing reservation holders it would be halting all production of its electric tonneau cover to complete a redesign, Rivian’s R1T configurator is hinting at its imminent return. There are certainly some conditions to consider, but it appears that the powered tonneau cover will be returning (relatively) soon. Here’s what we know.

Since Rivian began R1T pickup production in 2021, I’ve been trying to get behind the doors of its facility in my native Illinois and only managed to get arrested for trespassing once (kidding). Last week, I finally got a chance to tour the revamped EV plant and test drive the new Dual-Motor R1 vehicles featuring Rivian’s new Enduro drive unit and I’ve gotta say – it begs the question, “Do you really need the Quad-Motor?”

EV maker Rivian’s new Dual-Motor R1T and R1S finally received official Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ratings. And compared to the Quad-Motor, the numbers are impressive.

One of the largest fast-charging networks in the US, EVgo, announced Tuesday that Rivian R1S and R1T owners can now use its Autocharge+ program.

Is an electric truck from Hyundai on the way? A Rivian R1T was spotted with testing plates near Hyundai’s Namyang research and design (R&D) facility in South Korea.

Just a day after new pre-configured dual-motor R1Ts appeared in Rivian’s R1 Shop, Rivian has now added the new “Dual-Motor” and “Performance Dual-Motor” options to its online configurator for new vehicles, letting customers add these options to their custom R1 builds.

The first dual-motor Rivian R1T models are beginning to appear in the R1 shop. Rivian’s electric truck, built with in-house motors, is a “product that does everything for most customers.”

Rivian recently invited a group of quad-motor R1T owners and dual-motor reservation holders to test out its new performance dual-motor R1T model. Check out the first look at the electric truck and how customers reacted in Rivian’s latest video.

Rivian is saying it hears its customers loud and clear, and if they want to get themselves into a shiny new R1T, they’ll have the opportunity to drive off in one next weekend in Normal, Illinois. Customers who venture down to Rivian’s service center at its production hub next week can come see the electric pickups up close, buy one, take delivery, and take it home. You know, almost like a car dealer.

The first customer dual-motor R1T, with Rivian’s in-house designed Enduro drive unit, rolled off the production line at the company’s factory in Normal, IL, today.

After ramping production over the past year or so, EV maker Rivian says you can now get an R1T adventure vehicle (or electric truck, if you will) delivered in less than two weeks, in some cases.
