Our Founder and CEO RJ Scaringe is featured on the latest cover of Inc. Magazine, offering an inside look at the relentless grit, strategic evolution and “extremely high stakes” required to build Rivian from the ground up.
The feature story dives deep into the lessons learned from our R1 flagship and how those insights paved the way for our next chapter. RJ shares the candid story of our journey—rom the early days of late-night engineering sessions to our growth into a technology leader of the electric transition—highlighting the resilience of the team that made this vision a reality.
At the heart of the story is R2, and the journey it’s taken to get to this point. By fundamentally reimagining our electrical architecture and simplifying manufacturing, we’ve achieved a 50% reduction in bill of material costs compared to the R1 platform. This feature details how those radical efficiencies, combined with our pursuit of scale, make R2 the cornerstone of Rivian’s path to profitability and our most important step yet in making electric vehicles accessible to everyone.
