Is the Telo MT1 America’s First Electric Kei Truck?
The electric truck space is heating up, and a new player is stepping in with something totally different.

Rivian R2 to Use Large Die Castings, Cutting Complexity and Improving Efficiency
Rivian just dropped some cool news about the R2—it’s getting some serious upgrades in how it’s built. RJ Scaringe confirmed they’re using large high-pressure die castings throughout the body, and in the rear alone, they’ve cut down 50 separate stampings and over 300 joints to just three big castings.

How a Costco Partnership Could Make Rivian’s More Accessible
Rivian should seriously consider teaming up with Costco to offer vehicle discounts. It just makes too much sense. Costco has been helping people score deals on cars for years, and a partnership like this could be a huge win for both brands. First off, Costco’s Auto Program moves a ton of vehicles. Their members get prearranged pricing that’s usually better than what they’d negotiate on their own, and let’s be real—buying a car can be a hassle. Rivian’s direct-to-consumer model…
