My office is about a mile from the Randolph location. I've stopped driving by because progress has been really slow, however a local favorite, the Tamale Guy, has set up temporary operations in a bar a block away so I might make an exception...

Where is he set up at? I can use a good tamale.

Scooter, thank you for keeping Rivian fans up to date on the progress of the Chicago sales office. I'm interested because it's about a 20 minute walk from the Amtrak station.
I live near the Amtrak station in Lansing and can get to Chicago by train in about four hours.
If construction continues, it seems that the Rivian sales office should be completed in a few months. It's around 240 miles from there to my home. If I could pick the R1T up there, as long as the battery is charged, I would be able to return home in about four hours.
I just got exited because i live in Lansing as well but its Lansing IL. and we are not 4 hours away.

But Lansing Illinois is a lot closer to Chicago than Lansing Michigan.

It's a sign that bad weather is just around the corner. That location still has at least a couple of month s to go. Maybe October, likely November.

Don't say that the weather is actually nice around here finally today.

Stopped in at Jeni's Friday night with the Mrs. (she's getting the R1S) for post-dinner ice cream. During our drive to the restaurant I had mentioned the showroom was going in. She was wholly unimpressed when she saw it.

I drove by two weekends ago and it does look great and appears to be getting close to finished. Between seeing this facility and the MT articles I am dangerously excited...
