Nice to see Rivian donating to Habitat For Humanity some of the fixtures/items they inherited from the former Mitsubishi plant. I've helped build or repair quite a few homes with HFH over the years. Good cause. Good on Rivian!

Some IG video
Didn't find any video. Just the single picture. I don't use Instagram so I suspect I've probably overlooked something.

No worries. Note, no swipe option from desktop monitor. Able to swipe and view videos from smartphone and tablet.

I'll have to say I'm a little surprised the plant is not further along. I only say that based on that I could have sworn I had read an article from a local paper in Normal that the plant manager said they were on schedule to be ready by September. Clearly he must have meant Sep 2020.

I know, right? I was surprised too - maybe they’re further along elsewhere in the plant.

Multiple assembly lines. This one is most likely for the Amazon truck. The other lines are already making parts!

Yeah, it's a massive plant, with numerous existing lines...it used to crank out over 200K vehicles a year.
