Rivian wants the R2T trademark, but don’t be excited
Despite the surge in interest, trademark applications can be traced back to 2018 Rivian's fans were in a coma after Reddit users discovered R2T Moniker's trademark application. This is not a new thing, as the company initially filed an application for the name in 2018. Automakers can often use trademarks, even if they may never be used. More than a year ago, Rivian launched the R2 and plans to arrive in the first half of 2026 at a base price of $45,000. Fast forward to today, and it's exciting as Rivian has filed a trademark application for the nickname. Unfortunately, you shouldn't be full of hope because this is not a new development. Instead, Rivian initially filed an application for the R2T trademark in October 2018. However, it was abandoned on June 20, 2022.

Volkswagen says it is considering off-road vehicles based on Boy Scouts
