Rivian deals in Los Angeles
This page covers electric SUVs and a pickup, useful if you want a battery-only vehicle without a traditional dealership visit. The R1S is a full SUV, and the R1T is a pickup; both are current production. The R2 is a smaller SUV on a separate platform, announced for later production, so treat it as a future option rather than something you can drive home now.

About the Rivian lineup
Ordering works directly with the manufacturer rather than through a franchised dealer, and lease, finance, cash, or used-car deals are all workable paths depending on what a given listing offers. Service runs through company-operated centers and mobile technicians rather than independent shops, which matters if you're weighing convenience against a traditional service network. New vehicles carry a 5-year/60,000-mile basic warranty, with separate 8-year battery and drivetrain coverage — the mileage limit on that coverage depends on which battery pack you choose, so confirm the exact figure before you commit.
A few practical points worth weighing: body repairs need Rivian-certified shops, and wait times there can run long, which can affect insurance costs. Charging draws on Rivian's own network plus CCS compatibility and Supercharger access via adapter.
Questions about Rivian
The lineup centers on the R1T pickup, with the R1S SUV also part of the current lineup. A smaller R2 platform has been announced for later production but isn't available yet. Both existing models share Rivian's electric-only powertrain approach.
Rivian sells directly to customers rather than through franchised dealers, so you place an order with Rivian itself instead of negotiating at a traditional lot. Service is handled at company-run service centers or by mobile technicians rather than an independent dealer service department. This setup means the usual multi-dealer shopping and negotiating process doesn't really apply.
Rivian has a retail Space in Venice that serves as a demonstration point where you can look at the vehicles. Service-related locations also show up in the Burbank area. Since Rivian doesn't use franchised dealers, these company-run locations are the main way to see the vehicles locally.
The R1T is a pickup truck body style, while the R1S is a full SUV, so the basic choice comes down to an open bed versus an enclosed cargo area with more seating. Both are part of the current Rivian lineup and share the same electric-only brand approach. Beyond body style, the practical differences come down to how you plan to use the cargo space.
Body repair work on a Rivian has to go through Rivian-certified shops rather than any general body shop, and wait times at those shops can be long. Insurance for Rivians is priced with that repair situation in mind. This is a real trade-off compared to more common vehicles, where certified repair options are easier to find nearby.
