The electric vehicle retailer Rivian has found a location for its first Boston sales center, and it’s about as high a profile location for motorists as possible: right above the Massachusetts Turnpike.

The direct-to-consumer EV seller will open this summer at Lyrik, the two-building development over the Pike that sits between Back Bay’s two main shopping stretches, Boylston and Newbury streets.

Rivian’s Boston location will be its third store in the Northeast, coming after two in New York City. The carmaker has 10 U.S. stores in all.

Rivian will be the latest EV store in Boston, along with a Tesla store at the Prudential Center, Lucid in the Seaport and Polestar in Allston. It won’t be a traditional dealership, however: Rivian business model lets customers custom-build their vehicles, then ships it to them.

Sales center? Journalist need to do a little more research. Only thing actually sold at hub/spaces is merch.

First time, long time...

I recently did a demo drive out of Chelsea and the demo guide mentioned that they're planning on a 2nd location, possibly in Canton MA. Take it with a grain of salt.

Looks great! Hoping for one in Tysons Corner (Northern Virginia) soon. We've already got Lucid & Tesla here. Or another NoVA area...

Maybe Rivian should explore southern NH for their next site. Makes more sense. Their facility could cover Vermont, Maine and New Hampshire.
Makes more sense for the brand while exploring the great outdoors.

I also think it would make a lot of sense and fit well with the brand. I see a decent number of Rivian’s in NH now so maybe 🤞🏼

Not to mention tax-free merch! 😂

My Rivian is going to be located in Maine, so this would make a lot of sense.

It would also make sense for their mobile support team to attend to their customers throughout New England.
