However, note that the numbers shared by Klein were revealed when Rivian’s Normal plant was running only two shifts. Now that the plant is implementing three shifts, the number of dual motors produced should increase, which could help Rivian hit its updated production target this year, which is 52,000 units.
Rivian is determined that the waiting period for a vehicle will be “shorter than ever” by adding an extra shift to its operations. At present, Rivian’s customer site claims that typical vehicle delivery occurs within 16 weeks of ordering.
The R1T and R1S equipped with Rivian’s performance dual motor generates up to 665 horsepower and 829 lb-ft of torque (in Performance guise). It can go from zero to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds and has an EPA-estimated 352 miles of range.
