Rivian Automotive Incorporation’s Chief Executive, RJ Scaringe, as quoted by Reuters on Wednesday (12/29/2021) said that of about 71,000 Rivian pre-orders, most of them were for the R1T pickup truck and R1S SUV in the United States and Canada.
Those options are the vehicle version with the option of a small battery pack, which provides a range of 500 km on a single charge.
“To serve the largest number of pre-order holders, we will prioritize building an Adventure Pack with a large battery pack over the next year,” explains RJ Scaringe.

Rivian has delivered 386 of the 652 vehicles it builds, including pickups and SUVs.
The larger battery pack, called the Max pack, is expected to provide a range of 645 km on a single charge. Only 20 percent off preorders for the Max pack.
Rivian said that in early 2022 it will introduce a feature for customers on Rivian accounts, displaying the estimated delivery time of the customer’s order in question.
