Rivian beats Tesla, GM and Ford to build the first electric pickup truck

It's Rivian. Who?The startup truck maker's first R1T pickup come off the line in a former Mitsubishi plant in Normal, Illinois on Tuesday, company CEO RJ Scaringe announced in a tweet."After months of building pre-production vehicles, this morning our first customer vehicle drove off our production line in Normal!" he tweeted Tuesday.

Rivian priced the R1T at $73,000 and said it has already sold out the launch edition of the trucks. The company has not said how many trucks are part of the launch edition, and is now taking orders for January 2022 deliveries.
