The 2022 Rivian R1T Is an Aquatic Animal

Rivian needs to go for big air to upend Tesla. Presently, they're off to a pretty good start with the 2022 Rivian R1T. It's territory Tesla has yet to cross into: the electric truck. Moreover, the R1T looks to beat Tesla on all metrics. That means range, usability, quality, and most importantly range. Also, range. However, Tesla previously won out in the "gimmicks" segment, with in-car games and fart noises. Now, Rivian wins there too.

In light of that, the brand has begun construction on a second factory out on the Texas plains. However, this isn't a solo venture. Rivian, like many EV automakers, got a nice helping hand from Uncle Sam. To the tune of millions.
