I saw a FACTOR RCV on Friday here in SE Michigan. I'm far enough from Plymouth that it most assuredly was being used by Factor instead of just being test driven.

Agreed! Also, I want to know if Rivian can be convinced to add that green paintjob to their standard line! Sure, I love my Compass Yellow, but when I buy my next Rivian, I'd like some more fluorescent options!

It is more than likely a wrap, which explains the missing Rivian badging.

I saw one of those outside IKEA in STL last Thursday - awesome to see one outside of Amazon or Repair fleet livery!

Possibly - though the door handles look like they are also green right round the edges, which would be extreme for a commercial wrap. I have a feeling these are custom paint jobs.

Likely this from their website? Interesting they say “Rivian” but we haven’t heard from the manufacturer…

I have a friend in Perth who works for Pilbara Minerals, and he has driven one a number of times. A few of the mines in WA (western Australia) have a significant amount of not only electrification but full autonomous massive iron ore rigs.

I did not know who MEVCO was. Looked it up, their website is full of R1T images and sales info.

An EV in mining makes perfect sense! If you have take the vehicle into a mine (think of something like the huge, cavernous salt mines under Lake Michigan), there is no pollution to worry about. I wonder how the vehicles are configured (battery, power, etc.)?

It is WONDERFUL to see yet more commercial enterprises buying Rivian for fleet use!!! Excellent!
