Rivian just launched the R2 and it has to be the most interesting and exciting vehicle launch in years. I got to check it out in person, walk through it with members of the design team, and attended a Q&A. Join me as we learn all about the Rivian R2 from the design to features, comfort, space, and what it means for Rivian and the EV industry going forward.
