Rivian recently trademarked the names R3S, R4S, R5S, R3T, R4T & R5T with the USPTO. These should be for the six vehicles the automaker wants to launch by 2025, as confirmed by CEO RJ Scaringe earlier this year.

Rivian Files Trademarks for Six Electric Trucks and SUVs

I know Rivian wants to launch smaller electric vehicles as it expands globally. These will be key to Rivians growth in markets throughout Europe and Asia. Anything bigger than the R1S and R1T can present a lot of challenges with little upside, at least for now.
As for what that R3S could be... I'm thinking an Audi e-tron rival.

What about R2T and R2S

With a 7 passenger R1S, it is harder to think they need to go BIGGER. Odds are these are going to be smaller (more economical) vehicles for the main stream market. Think of it like Hummer. There was the H1, then the H2, then H3, and (while not widely known) GM was working on a Wrangler sized H4. Smaller vehicles as the numbers increased.

Good question.
It's tough to say what exact models these names could represent or what the numbers mean, but I think some of them could represent different body styles of the same model. So maybe one of them will be a two-door variant of the R1T? And possibly a coupe style SUV?

Are there any current pickups and SUVs you think they'll make a version of?
I would assume they are just staking their claim to these names. From previous posts people stated the next vehicle would be smaller versions of the ones currently being developed. That makes sense, a bigger one doesn't at all, way too small of a market for that.
Something on the size range of a X3/Q5 would do well

Rivian trademarks two new vehicles: What could they be?
Rivian has filed for two new trademarks on unknown vehicles, but we might have an idea of what they could be. The startup has announced two named vehicles, its R1T electric pickup truck and R1S electric SUV. We also know that Rivian is working on a new electric delivery van, but it doesn’t have...

The other thing that has become prevalent in our society today is that private citizens try to guess the future names of vehicle products and quickly file for patents on those names hope the auto company will pay $$$$ to that private patent holder to use the name. It happened with the Ford GT. The term GT40 was already patented by a private individual and rather than fork over money to that person, Ford beat them to the punch by just naming the new car "GT".

I actually think they need a bigger one at some point or at least captain chair second row.
Trademarked years ago. It's anyone's guess as to which models will ever see the light of day but it's good business practice to protect yourself early on.

I guess it goes to show that figuring out what six models Rivian will launch by 2025 isn't exactly easy to figure out at the moment.
BTW, welcome to the forum!

I think once they get production and deliveries going with the 180 kWh battery that could be a viable option for them.
