YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Rivian debuted its all-electric pickup, the R1T, in 2018 and has since built a passionate fan base around a brand that caters to adventure and the outdoors. Now it’s preparing for its next chapter: the R2, a smaller and more affordable spin on the R1S SUV, and the R3, a rally-inspired hatchback. CNBC got rare access inside Rivian’s design lab in Irvine, California, where chief design officer Jeff Hammoud shared how the company shapes its distinctive vehicles and approaches design for its EV lineup.
