The CEO discusses Rivian's future beyond the Rivian R1T and R1S during a podcast interview.
at the time of our review. Despite all of this success it looks like Rivian is not ready to rest on its laurels with an update on where the company is headed next.
Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe spoke with tech YouTuber Marques Brownlee on his"WVFRM" podcast. Brownlee referenced Tesla's"Master Plan" of starting out with low volume, high-priced vehicles subsidizing the production of more affordable high volume vehicles.
What could the R3 look like? Will the R3 be Rivian's first sedan? Scaringe said that the R2 and R3 would"maintain the essence" of the Rivian brand which thus far has spoken directly to weekend warriors who see the great outdoors as their playground. There is certain Japanese brand that speaks to the same audience but with more affordable vehicles.
It is a compelling possibility. Producing an AWD EV for under $30,000 with decent battery range is a herculean task. However, if Rivian can pull it off, it may just slingshot itself to the head of the EV race. No solid timeline was established for when we can expect to learn or see more about the R2 and R3, but seemingly soon.
