Spotted Dual Motor R1T in production while on plant tour!

[swhme]

I took a tour of the factory in Normal this morning with @johnnylawson , and we saw a dual motor R1T (limestone + OC + 22) towards the end of the production line!

our guide said it was the first that he’s seen on the line— seems to bode well for enduro s00n!

(sorry, no pics were allowed on the floor)

i hope thats not dual motor VIN #00002... that does not bode well for ramp up s00n considering #00001 was over a month ago.

Hopefully he doesn't get around much, or isn't very attentive otherwise that means that there's been little to no actual Dual Motor R1T production since they announced the first off the line like 6-7 weeks ago...

Did you notice if it had the new silver bevel highlights instead of the Rivian yellow?

Glad to hear there has been a sighting! Curious how reliable these new motors will be to start. Thankfully they've been able to test them in EDVs first.

It did, no yellow on the exterior

he said he’s been looking for them daily…

The excitement he showed was genuine. He immediately texted his boss as well.

Some other people on Reddit have said they shipped some out to service centers. Idk how true this is...

That’s smart thinking, given how likely these new motors will require service, at least for the next 18 months...

These new motors should be bulletproof. Only time will tell.
