S and MP4-12C), and Jeff Hammoud, the vice president of design and a veteran of Jeep, where he oversaw the Grand Cherokee and the Wrangler.
To fund his electric dreams, Scaringe raised $450 million from three major investors: the Saudi Arabia-based investment group Abdul Latif Jameel, which has strong ties to MIT; Japan’s Su­mi­tomo Corp.; and London’s Standard Chartered Bank.
Rivian employs around 700 people, half at its engineering center in Plymouth; most of the rest are at tech centers in San Jose and Irvine, California, with a few at an engineering facility in the United Kingdom. More will be added over the next two years as the company ramps up manufacturing operations at its facility in Normal, Illinois, a former Mitsubishi plant Rivian acquired in 2017 for $16 million.
Technically speaking, the R1T and R1S are very similar. They are based on the same skateboard-style chassis (meaning that all mechanical components—battery, drivetrain, suspension—are contained in it). They claim to offer outstanding performance, including up to 400 miles of range, which is nearly 75 miles more than any other EV currently on the road or in the pipeline for the next two years. And they promise exceptional handling and sports car speed—both will be able to sprint from zero to 60 mph in 3 seconds. Above all, Rivian promises genuine off-road ability. Try driving your Tesla on the dunes of a beach or up a rocky hill.
The pickup will have a base price around $68,000, and the SUV will be $72,500 (and both come with a tax incentive). Though Rivian won’t share preorder figures, the company expects to deliver an ambitious 20,000 units (combined truck and SUV) in 2021 and 40,000 in 2022, which translates to approximately $1.4 billion and $2.8 billion, respectively, in sales. By comparison, Tesla sold 22,000 units of the Model S in its first full year and some 25,000 units of the Model X when it debuted.
A potentially more profitable revenue stream will come from selling Rivian’s technology to automakers and tech companies. “We can lev­erage our skateboard technology in its entirety or sell pieces of it, such as the battery pack,” Scaringe says. Although no partnerships have been announced, Rivian is in negotiations with a well-known brand that’s not a traditional automaker—but it won’t rule out working with one in the near future—and the company expects to get further investments of capital within the first quarter of 2019.
“R.J. has built a company that can pivot on a dime,” explains John Shook, a member of Rivian’s board of directors and a former production manager for Toyota in the U.S. and Japan.
Now that his lifelong mission to become a carmaker is a reality, Scaringe believes his priorities as a CEO include making sure the direction of the company is clear, that the right team is in place and that the culture allows people to work without silos or bureaucracy. But if push came to shove, the MIT engineer would rather be in the lab: “I really enjoy working our network architecture, thinking of our skateboard platform.” In other words, R.J. Scaringe has just started rolling.

Return or exchangeThis undated booking photo provided by the Pasadena Police Department shows Lloyd Nelson Jr. Nelson, a military veteran and former Los Angeles County police officer, was shot and killed last month in a gun battle with officers in Southern California, authorities said.
PASADENA, Calif. (AP) — A San Diego man who was fatally shot during a gun battle last month with police in California was a former U.S. Marine and ex-police officer, authorities said Wednesday.
Dramatic video released Tuesday shows 47-year-old Lloyd Nelson Jr, firing his gun May 8 at officers after his car crashed head-on into a police vehicle during a pursuit in Pasadena.
He fired through his windshield and continued to shoot as he exited the vehicle. One officer was shot in the leg by friendly fire, police said.
Nelson was honorably discharged from the U.S. Marine Corps in 1996, according to Pasadena police Lt. William Grisafe. Nelson previously worked for the Los Angeles County Office of Public Safety until it was absorbed into the sheriff's department in 2010.
Grisafe said Nelson may also have served in the Army and Air Force reserves. He did not have a previous criminal record, the lieutenant said.
The incident began when a Pasadena officer saw Nelson make an illegal turn, park in the middle of the street and get out of the car, authorities said.
The officer tried to speak to Nelson but he got back into his car and drove away. Officers pursued Nelson in vehicles and with a helicopter before a supervisor called off the ground chase and let the helicopter take over. Nelson drove slowly but did not stop for red lights and stop signs, the video shows.
Police in patrol vehicles began chasing him again and forced a crash using an intervention maneuver designed to stop a car. The video shows Nelson open fire while still seated after his car struck a police vehicle.
Nelson got out of the car and continued shooting as officers returned fire.
Nelson was struck multiple times and died at the scene, officials said. Police said they found two other loaded firearms in his car.
