And before anyone asks, no Rivian siting, the garages and tracks are far from the secured entrance, these test tracks are very secretive.

I saw this on Rivian's Careers site and it peaked my interest, since I live just south of Wittmann:

Ford has a test track in Wittmann, so I assumed that with the partnership, that is where they would be testing. Did a Google search for Rivian LLC and Wittmann, found this address:

30700 W Patton Road, Wittmann, AZ

So I drove out there today, knowing that was not the Ford track, and this is what I discovered:

Yes, I do, with a GoPro. I need to find some high ground and put on my hiking boots.

A quick google map search address of Toyota Arizona Proving ground shows some satellite images of the facility. Thanks for the detective work AzBill.

Screenshot of area from Google Earth. Map is dated 2018...zoomed in and did not see any Rivians. For this timeframe I was not expecting any....other mapping databases may have more current maps.

Sweet!

Wouldn't you think they have counter measures in-place though for just such activity? Not my UAV, so I'm not concerned about a loss, but some may deem it worth the risk for some secret imagery. Have at it!!!
