Rivian launched its Gen 2 Quad Motor package for the R1 truck and SUV, showcasing performance capabilities that include over 1,025 horsepower and 1,198 pound-feet of torque. The R1T truck and R1S SUV are priced at $115,990 and $121,990, respectively. CEO RJ Scaringe pointed out that despite the impressive power, it may be excessive for everyday consumers. The company demonstrated the vehicles in South Lake Tahoe, where media tested their off-roading capabilities, including unique features such as the 'kick turn' that allows a complete 360-degree spin.
