“Rivian claims that, unlike rivals Tesla, GMC and Ford, it is actually delivering electric trucks to real people. And while early reports said that “people” seemed to mean Rivian employees, who were doing what amounted to beta testing for the company, Rivian insists otherwise. It says actual human buyers outside the company have received R1Ts and many others will get theirs in the coming months.”
“Yes, there are non-employees driving their trucks today,” said a Rivian spokesperson when we asked. “More R1T deliveries to come the rest of this year and as we continue to ramp into next.”
Where? I haven’t seen one or heard of one delivery window earlier than January potentially. There’s nothing wrong with doing employee deliveries first, but I don’t know why they can’t just come out and say that.
