Here are two Rivian R1T prototype electric trucks spied testing in Panama (Central America). Big thanks to Julio C.S.T. for sending us these images.
These trucks appear to be mostly production-ready. Rivian R1T is a truck that is sized slightly smaller than a half-ton truck like a Ford F-150. Rivian is a new company, and they are promising to deliver the first production R1T truck and R1S SUV to customers in the United States by the end of 2020.

The R1T is a battery-electric pickup truck that will be offered with three battery sizes and driving range capability. The largest batter is 180 kWh with a driving range of up to 400 miles.

The competition is getting tougher by the hour. Tesla is set to officially unveil its CyberTruck EV pickup in just a few hours : Nov 21, 2019 8pm PST. TFLtruck will be there and we will bring you all the latest information and a video from the event.
