- 2023 Rivian R1S
I have to wonder if the launch timing is right for the R1 to leverage SDI's Gen 5 battery tech out of the gate given that it was expected to go into production the second half of 2021. I'm thinking it may still be a little too early for that. Perhaps Gen 5 batteries are the big variable for the longest range R1S? Sure wish Rivian would open up a bit more regarding battery chemistry.
