Construction of Rivian's U.S. production facility continues without disruption to meet vehicle delivery deadlines:
"Work continues on the Rivian battery plant as the company ramps up to begin building electric vehicles.
Workers for River City Construction use man-lifts Tuesday, March 24, 2020, to erect steel trusses for the battery plant under construction at the Rivian car plant, 100 N. Rivian Motorway in Normal. The plant is one of two new expansion projects being added to the southeast and southwest sides of the building.

That's true, but I thought since Rivian is temporarily shutting things down they'd do the same with the construction. I know FCA halted construction at their plants recently.
Rivian has been forced to shutdown, like Tesla, Ford, GM and many others. Its going to be a rough year... Rivian Forced To Puts Plans On Hold The EV startup is pausing its production prep work as COVID-19 keeps still more Americans at home. "Electric vehicle startup Rivian is following the...

The rule calls for fuel economy and emission standards to increase by 1.5% annually, rather than the approximately 5% increases in the 2012 rule. According to the rule...
No, its not real. Just a good April fools joke put on by a Fire Department. Still, I can't help but think what a real Rivian ambulance would look like, based off the Rivian-Amazon delivery van. Even an R1S rapid response vehicle.
Rivian said they “expect some level of delay” but won't get into details.
"The world has changed a lot in these last few weeks. We’ve shut down all Rivian facilities to protect our team and to help slow the spread of COVID-19. While this situation has required us to redefine workflows and...
