Rivian is offering 0% APR financing for the first time ever, giving very well-qualified buyers a rare chance to purchase a 2026 R1 with zero interest. Available for a limited time on select Dual, Tri, and Quad configurations, this deal could save buyers thousands, but timing and delivery deadlines apply.
A short clip shared by Scot from Out of Spec shows a Rivian confidently handling lane centering and a lane change in snowy conditions. While Tesla has spent years refining its system with millions of vehicles on the road, Rivian has only been at this for months, making the steady, composed behavior especially notable.
Rivian may not offer leasing when the R2 launches, and history suggests that should not come as a surprise. Leasing was not available at R1 launch and still is not offered in every state or in Canada today.
Rivian partnered with Grey’s Anatomy to create a fully electric ambulance built on its Commercial Van platform. The custom “vanbulance” improves air quality on set while showcasing the real world potential of electric emergency vehicles.
Tesla’s decision to walk away from the Model S and Model X is more than a product shuffle, it is a clear signal of where the company is headed. As Tesla doubles down on autonomy, Robotaxi, and AI, it is leaving behind a segment of drivers who still value the act of driving itself. That shift creates an opening for brands like Rivian and others to step in, building vehicles for people who want control, engagement, and choice, not just a ride from point A to point B.
