Rivian (RIVN) CEO hints at R2 pickup and R2X variants as production ramps

Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe confirmed that the company is developing undisclosed variants of the R2, hinting at both a pickup truck and an “R2X” performance model just days after starting volume production of the more affordable electric SUV. The comments, made in an exclusive interview with Reuters, signal that Rivian’s mid-size platform is set to expand well beyond the three R2 SUV trims announced in March .
