Last weekend, RJ Scaringe, founder and CEO of the new car company Rivian, shared a new photo on Twitter of neatly arranged R1T body panels that are waiting to be assembled for production. Despite the pandemic, Rivian has not slowed down and is working hard to resume full production and fulfill its promise of contactless delivery this summer. With delivery imminent, the company is ramping up production of the R1T electric pickup truck and everything is ready to go.
As early as November last year, this new electric pickup truck began accepting pre-orders and sold out quickly. As one of Rivian’s two main vehicle models (the other being the R1S SUV), this electric double-cab pickup truck boasts powerful performance and strong off-road capabilities. Its eye-catching design and improvements include a multi-purpose cargo bed, under-cargo storage space, and rescue equipment. It first debuted at the 2018 Los Angeles Auto Show and attracted a lot of attention.
As delivery time draws near, Rivian has already started communicating with pre-order holders to ensure they are kept up-to-date with the latest delivery news and to discuss the exact delivery time to ensure that customers can experience new sensations in purchasing method, driving performance, and front-end design for vehicle intelligence and convenience.
The latest developments show that Rivian is carefully considering every detail to ensure smooth delivery. Rivian has hired on-site experts to handle delivery and on-site operations throughout the United States to ensure contactless delivery and to help customers become familiar with the R1T electric pickup truck, providing them with the ultimate car buying experience. If the new vehicle does not meet their expectations, Rivian will accept return requests within 7 days or up to 1,000 miles of driving. According to the company’s customer service portal, 80% to 90% of the cost will be charged upon vehicle delivery. In addition, Rivian recently submitted a resolution to the local authorities that includes building a 60,000-square-foot charging canopy for vehicles produced on the production line.
The delivery and launch of the R1T electric pickup truck marks Rivian’s entry into the electric pickup fine-tuning market, where it will compete with the Tesla Cybertruck and Hummer.🔗Information source: Teslarati
