Rivian Video Testimonial

“For the Gen 2… we made a lot of little tweaks throughout the whole vehicle which made what was already exciting, better execution... Yeah, we watched (your) videos a couple times... That played out throughout the whole vehicle. Everything in the bottom of the vehicle is different. Rear structure of the vehicle is different; closures; doors; everywhere we could, we took cost and complexity out through part consolidation and elimination. A lot of which you called us out for, we not only agreed with, but we went down a path that was very consistent with your suggestions.”

RJ Scaringe
Founder and CEO, Rivian
