EV Maker Rivian Secures Deal To Make 100,000 Amazon Delivery Vans

Plymouth-based electric vehicle startup Rivian Automotive LLC plans to build 100,000 bespoke electric vans for e-commerce giant Amazon.com Inc.

The first vans, only the third vehicle announced by Rivian, would hit roadways in the U.S. by 2021. The automaker would have 10,000 vans on roads by late 2022, said Rivian spokeswoman Amy Mast.

Not really a surprise they secured this business considering Amazon pumped $700m into the firm.

Rivian that has never produced 1 vehicle for public sale nor do they have any production experience and they are going to be trusted with a 100K order? #DUMB

Rivian is going to hit the ground running! Great products and lots of backing.

Tesla never had it so good in the early days.

Said the dimwit who thinks the C8 will kill the Corvette. Hilarious.

You're embarrassingly clueless about Rivian too.

Tell yourself that, but the facts are on my side. Remember vapor and hype are not facts.
