The Rivian R1T hit the scene in 2021 as America\u2019s first modern electric pickup truck\u2014and a very impressive one at that. Now the California-based auto startup is laser-focused on its second act, a more affordable R2 crossover<\/a> that should unlock a vast new customer base. But does that mean Rivian is done with pickups?<\/p>\n

During an interview on the Plugged-In Podcast<\/a> this week, I asked Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe: Does Rivian plan to make a smaller pickup truck based around the R2 platform? He didn\u2019t commit to the idea but didn\u2019t rule it out either, saying that there may be many different versions of the R2 down the line.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI mean, we haven\u2019t announced anything, but\u2026 it doesn\u2019t take a huge amount of imagination to think of, like, if there\u2019s R2 what are the other R2 variants?\u201d he said. \u201cAnd we sort of hinted at that with R3, where we did an R3X. You could imagine X versions, you can imagine other versions.\u201d<\/p>\n
