Rivian R1T electric truck spotted in South Korea – battery supplier or next market?
Rivian’s R1T, the upcoming electric pickup truck, was spotted driving on public roads in Suwon, South Korea. While we don’t...
I don't think it has to do with picking the supplier, but rather giving the supplier a test mule so the supplier can do final validation and ongoing testing.The speculation about them selecting a battery supplier is completely ridiculous. They are 3 months from deliveries and the battery supplier has been selected for a long time and production has to ramping up soon. Suppliers for parts are selected at least a year in advance, if not more. Maybe there are minor design changes, but they are beyond the point of selecting suppliers for the initial deliveries.
