Previous Message And Rivian in an EV maker that revitalized a huge automotive plant in Central Illinois. EVs are a reasonably popular topic of conversation in general and I believe Rivian is the only manufacturer in the state of our common university, so it stands to reason they may take up some oxygen on this board. Previous Message I've never met anyone mention Rivian outside of here. Previous Message R2 will be produced in IL initially. Also, eliminating 3rd shift in the factory.
