Again, it’s the HR department doing blanket enforcement for the most part. Employees were also barred from talking about specific range and charge rates. You saw some over broad interpretations of that (from HR) with some employees deleting posts from their insta and otherwise.

I don't care what department it is, it's a representative of the business, we can judge the business for those actions. If they don't like it they can change their policy.

I’m less bothered by the secretive big money auto company doing its thing, than I am by admins to an unaffiliated internet forum that are overly/unnecessarily concerned with accommodating the company when they are under no legal or moral obligation to do so.

Judge away. They’re not going to change their policy. I’d say to cancel and go with an automaker that I don’t know of another company that doesn’t have similar policies.

What kills me is Rivian's insane definition of "restricted area". These parking lots are visible from public property. How is that a restricted area?

Now if they had a privacy fence or tent set up to block the view, sure call it restricted.

Even the government isn't stupid enough to claim things viewable from public spaces are "restricted"

I wish someone in Normal/surrounding area would just fly a Mavic or Phantom overhead to video the lot and post it everyday - they do it at the Tesla plant in Fremont all the time. It's how new updates/mods and or models sometimes are spotted. You can fly over the factory and grounds from surface up to 399ft AGL.

There are a few posts on this. There are issues with the location's proximity to the airport flight paths.

As a hobbyist, the FAA has cleared sUAS flights below 400ft in the area of the factory, and if you lean to the west there is no such limit because you're in class G airspace at that point (that's why I included the FAA sUAS map in previous post) Out of courtesy, a call to the tower and or a LAANC might be appropriate.

Yup, we’ve already discussed this.. It’s perfectly find to fly.

I think I would take a van over the SUV or Truck. Just imagine all of the possibilities!

Yeah. I wonder if anyone can order. Haven’t seen any specs published.

Lots of interior shots of the factory from the family day:
