Rivian is introducing not one but three smaller, more affordable electric vehicles, Axios' Joann Muller writes.
Between the lines: Thursday's reveal of the midsized R2 SUV had been widely anticipated as a sequel to Rivian's initial flagship electric models, the R1T pickup and R1S SUV.
The surprise unveiling of two additional models — the R3 and R3X crossover utilities — was reminiscent of a Steve Jobs' "one more thing" product introduction at Apple.
Yes, but: The company is also pausing construction of a planned Georgia factory, potentially complicating the rollout.
