Rivian has had pre-orders open for the vehicles since November 2018.
Rivian, which is backed by Amazon.com Inc and Ford Motor, said U.S. deliveries for R1T would start in June 2021, while the R1S deliveries would begin in August.
Pre-order holders will get early access on Nov. 16 to configure their vehicle color, battery range as well as wheels and tires.
Rivian is building EV delivery vans for Amazon, which has ordered 100,000 vans from the startup, while Ford invested $500 million in April with plans to use the Rivian EV platform to build a new vehicle in North America.
