More Rivian R1S Prototypes Seen In the Wild
With and without camouflage.
Here we have some new videos about the pre-production Rivian R1S vehicles seen in the public ahead of production launch expected this month.
The first one above is a camouflaged prototype, spotted in Irvine, California (on December 11). It's a different car than the one spotted in San Diego. Both had manufacturer plates.
According to the video, the test driver said that Rivian has about 40 pre-production R1S performing various tests.
The second video below is also interesting, as it shows a R1S without camouflage on a highway. This vehicle has also a different, quite cool looking wheel design. It appears that those are 20" All-Terrain Bright wheels (an $1,800 option, compared to standard 21" Road wheels).
