Our good friend Sean Mitchell just published one of the coolest interviews we've ever seen. He's in Aspen, Colorado, in a gondola with Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe. It's about a 20-minute ride, and these two have no problem filling it up with interesting dialogue. We had hoped to interview RJ soon at the Plymouth office near Detroit. However, it appears we'll have to up the ante to keep up with Sean. Perhaps we should take him kayaking, scuba diving, or skydiving?

At any rate, we absolutely love when a CEO is so candid. It has been very clear to us all along that Scaringe is extremely intelligent, very approachable, and highly professional, yet still fun and charismatic. Since Rivian spent years hiding its work and plans, it seems now there's really nothing to hold back. Scaringe answers questions freely and doesn't avoid the details about the company and its upcoming vehicles: the Rivian R1T electric pickup truck and the R1S electric SUV.
