>delivery vans from vehicle manufacturer Rivian

is Rivian really a vehicle manufacturer? or a startup? I though you have to actually manufacture something to be called manufacturer.

They already have their Truck and SUV on display at the motor shows, 0-60 in 3 seconds, towing 7700 lbs, 700hp, 400 mile range. They said shipping in 2020. But I dont see any mention of vans on their website.

Amazon is a financial backer of Rivian, so this makes sense.

They've been showing the truck for years. It's still vaporware. They've yet to build a single production vehicle.

Rivian is the best American EV maker out there.

Is it? They are not even in the hands of consumers yet.
