(Reuters) - Rivian Automotive on Monday announced the launch of leasing for its R1T electric pickup truck for customers in select U.S. states.
The option, which has been made available in states including California, New York, Florida and Texas, comes days ahead of the launch of Tesla's Cybertruck which competes with the R1T.
