Rivian nixes its entry-level R1T and R1S trims due to low demand
."We realize this news comes as a surprise and apologize to customers who have had their planning impacted."
The company said it initially gave customers two package options to offer them"more variety." While Rivian expected that many customers would opt for the Explore package, it claimed that only a small percentage of them have done so, with"the vast majority" selecting the Adventure trim. The company said that by narrowing its focus to the Adventure trim, it would be able to streamline its supply chain and deliver its EVs more rapidly.
The move means Rivian's electric truck and SUV are getting more expensive for those looking for the cheapest option — it marks an increase of $5,500 across the board. The R1T truck now starts at $73,000, while the R1S costs at least $78,000 for new orders .You can disable notifications at any time in your settings menu.
