The Los Angeles Auto Show is right around the corner and Rivian has just released the first teaser video of their upcoming R1T.

Set to be unveiled on November 26th, the electric pickup will have a unique front fascia with a slender light bar and that connects two vertical headlights. The latter components have four stacked lights which are surrounded by an outer light ring.

Additional styling details are hard to make out, but the model appears to have small side mirrors and a plastic front bumper. We can also see a contrasting roof, a relatively small bed and full-width taillights.

Little else is known about the truck, but previous reports have suggested the model will be about the same size as the Honda Ridgeline and have a base price of approximately $50,000. The entry-level truck is also slated to have an 80 kWh battery pack, a range of around 200 miles (321 km) and a 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) time of less than five seconds.

There could also be a high-performance model which costs around $90,000 and has a larger battery pack that enables the truck to travel 450 miles (724 km) on a single charge. The range-topping R1T is slated to have 800 hp (596 kW / 811 PS) which will allow the model to rocket from 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in just 2.8 seconds.

The R1T will be joined by a seven-passenger SUV called the R1S. That particular model will be unveiled on November 27th.

Both models will go on sale in 2020 and Rivian says they will offer “impressive on- and off-road performance” as well as “class-leading specifications including range, power, torque and off-road articulation.”
