Plenty of electric car startups are trying to challenge Tesla for the EV crown, but one company seems best positioned to do it. Rivian is preparing to launch two electric trucks that could dethrone Elon Musk: the R1T and the R1S. Rivian is getting ready to storm the market with two of its stunning all-electric luxury vehicles outfitted with cutting-edge tank technology. The R1S SUV and the R1T pickup truck are expected to be released shortly. Here are some of the features and capabilities of the electric pickup. A truck built for whatever you call a road. Your electric adventure awaits. The futuristic R1T is an all-electric pickup truck from new American startup brand Rivian, and it promises 300 miles of driving range and lightning-quick acceleration. The company says that the revealed truck is no concept vehicle—what you see here is what will enter production as the 2021 R1T. At 215.6 inches long, the crew-cab-only R1T splits the difference in size between mid-size pickups such as the Ford Ranger and full-size trucks such as the Ram 1500. The R1T will be one of the first electric pickup trucks in what seems to be a burgeoning market, soon to include the Tesla Cybertruck and the GMC Hummer EV SUT. The R1T is an all-new model from Rivian, and the company says it'll start delivering to customers in July 2021. It kicks off with a Launch Edition that starts at $73,000, but a more affordable Explore trim level will join the lineup as a 2022 model. The truck will be sold directly to consumers, although Rivian says that it also will set up a network of service centers and Tesla-like stores. Going on sale soon after the R1T truck will be the R1S, a seven-passenger SUV with similar specs. After it initially announced a production delay earlier this year, Rivian was due to start delivering its R1T pickup this month. Well, it seems that's not happening anymore. According to a letter to customers from Rivian's chief executive officer, a pandemic-related delay means initial deliveries of the R1T are now due to begin in September. Rivian hasn’t received official EPA mileage ratings yet but says the R1T and R1S will both get more than 300 miles of range on the standard battery. The R1T will get more than 400 miles on its $10,000 “Max Pack” battery option.
