The recall involves the R1T, R1S, and EDV—nearly all the electric trucks the EV maker has built, including 12,212 delivered to customers

Rivian has said will that the $5 billion factory, due to debut the manufacture of the electric truck maker's R2 model lineup in 2024, will create 7,500 jobs

The two companies aim to share costs around manufacturing electric vans, with plans for a factory in Europe.

Camp Mode's automatic leveling could be particularly useful for owners who use their Rivian as overnight shelter.

The changes apply to both the R1T and R1S. Customers have until September 1 to reconfigure their pre-orders or cancel them.

Rivian has made a total of 5,000 trucks cumulatively. But it has 10,000 new preorders, for trucks costing an average $93,000, since raising prices on its trucks by as much as $12,000 in March.

Rivian outsourced its motors to help accelerate the launch timeline for its R1T and R1S trucks. But it's planning to phase in its own motor design.

Rivian will follow Tesla in making its base battery pack based on LFP cells. It also released more information on its Dual Motor models and upcoming 800V upgrades.

The choice of a decontented electric truck or a price hike of up to 20% was not well-received by early reservation-holders. Two days later, Rivian reversed course.

Rivian blamed supply chain issues for what's essentially a pricing repositioning of its vehicles—with a price hike of roughly 20% for the R1S.

The situation closely parallels Tesla's Giga Texas dilemma. Current laws prohibit automakers from selling cars directly to customers, but legislation could change that.

Under Canvas camping sites, which offer "indoor luxuries" at wilderness locations, will host Rivian Waypoint chargers.

Rivian's Waypoint network will give weekend warriors more places to add some charge while they're out hiking or mountain-biking.

The Rivian R1T does more than show that electric trucks are possible. It shows that they can be better than gasoline trucks in many ways.

As Rivian just starts to ramp up production of its R1T electric pickup and R1S electric SUV, it's announced a second plant due to start in 2024.

Georgia and Texas are among the possible locations for EV maker RIvian's second plant—which might be announced before its first plant gets up to speed.

In its filings for the SEC earlier this month, Rivian suggested that it will seek to make its own batteries to complement those from suppliers.

We interview members of the Rivian team, led by founder and CEO RJ Scaringe, during the first drive for the 2022 Rivian R1T electric pickup truck.

Like Tesla, Rivian has no franchised dealerships. But Chief Growth Officer Jiten Behl thinks of the ownership experience a bit differently.

While we didn’t test the R1T’s 314-mile range, its combination of on-road and off-road performance plus off-the-grid sensibilities is unprecedented.
