This one is for a paying customer.​

The wait for the first modern all-electric pickup to enter series production has ended as the Rivian R1T rolls off the production line.

***UPDATE: It's official. Here's the tweet from Rivian:

"After months of building pre-production vehicles, this morning our first customer vehicle drove off our production line in Normal! Our team's collective efforts have made this moment possible. Can't wait to get these into the hands of our customers!"

According to Rivian...

"The R1T will have a towing capacity of 11,000 lbs. The R1S will have a towing capacity of 7,700 lbs. Similar to a conventional vehicle, range is affected by towing. Hauling 11,000 lbs will reduce range by about 50%."

EPA numbers were released a couple of weeks ago.

Most likely these numbers are without any towing or hauling.

What I'd really like EPA to do is to certify the range, not only for the EV's but also for all truck, without towing and hauling and with the full claim towing and hauling capacity.

Heard the Lightening with a load range makes it impractical to tow... wondering the same about this one.

Physic might get in the way of that.

I wonder if a constant state motor and a conventional transmission might be a solution?
