Rivian R2 First Drives Arrive, Slate Partners with Carvana: TWC Podcast 274

Rivian R2 First Drives Arrive, Slate Partners with Carvana: TWC Podcast 274

By Phil Royle — June 11, 2026

The Rivian R2 is in the hands of journalists, and the reviews are in. On this week’s podcast, we discuss whether the sprightly new offering from this EV maker will be enough to take on Tesla and its dominant Model Y. Things are looking good for Rivian, but are they also looking good for the likes of Slate and Telo, especially with Ford’s new low cost EV pickup being developed? We stare into our crystal ball to see whether Ford is about to wipe the slate clean.

Perhaps you prefer to watch as well as listen. If so, we’ve got you covered.
