Rivian has launched its new R2 electric SUV, priced at $49,990, aiming to be its volume seller. The company achieved this lower cost and improved efficiency through a design philosophy of "subtraction," focusing on reducing complexity, weight, and component count. Innovations include consolidating electrical components, using a unibody structure, integrating the battery pack as the vehicle floor, and developing in-house controllers for significant cost savings.
