@DuckTruck thank you for getting video, and sharing it.

looking forward to having a tour someday, which I gather theyll be set up to do in some capacity.

When you get the chance, the only answer is, "YES, Absolutely!"

You can always catch the wedding of your next child.... ?

Yeah, I donā€™t think thereā€™s anything Iā€™d say no to at the rivian plant. ?
Ideally Iā€™d get to see mine move through the plant and have as many people as possible sign the inside of the hood.
Then boot it around the test track a few timesā€¦and go home and await delivery.


if we had kids I wouldnā€™t have enough loonies in the piggy bank for an R1T ?

Great videos @DuckTruck !

It looks to me like they will be ready to really crank these out once they get the processes etc. where they want them!

Weirdest production of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory ever. I kept waiting for Gene Wilder to systematically get rid of the ten of you until only one got to take home an R1T.

Enjoyed the hell out of that! Really makes Rivian feel more "real" without all the fancy Hollywood-esque stories. I could watch a camera run around the factory for hours

@DuckTruck thanks for sharing all of your photos and videos. Really enjoyed your interview with Rivian Stories as well, gave us some perspective you just will never see from a company marketing team.

was I the only one counting the number of shells being pressed out with 'that's one more truck delivering' ?

Nope! Thus my previous comment.

Wonder what the long term plan is with racking those. Hand racking them doesnā€˜t seem like a particularly good use of humans.

I was thinking the same thing. Looked like a very slow moving process to hand load 2-3 racks at a time
