Why so many busses? Would not expect a small town like Normal to have public transportation. Maybe for employees to come in from that far lot.

Anyone think Rivian will put solar on the roof top? Seems like that would be in line with their mission and also there's so much surface area filled with nothing on that factory!

Maybe they own the wind turbines off in the distance!?

They shuttle the employees from the remote lot to the plant.

Even if they use Wind turbine as a power source from far, why waste all that roof top space for nothing when you can still generate humongous amount of power. Moreover, to top into their mission of emission control. I have heard a guy in this plant form who had a wonderful comparisons of a few EVs which he stated, "less than 4% are bought by USA customers." Hence, everything little thing that they can make a change in their way of production makes a big difference.

Grew up there in the 80's. Had buses back then. It's a college town. I think that has a lot to do with it.
