Rivian has discontinued its entry-level R1 models, the R1T and R1S, which has resulted in a $7,000 increase in base prices. However, it is unclear if this move is related to reported issues with the vehicles or part of a larger strategy that includes the introduction of the R2 model. The pricing and lineup changes come ahead of the 2027 model year, with some outlets suggesting that cheaper versions of the R2 are still to come.
