I'll be interested to see what the final mix is to get to 25,000 but I never doubted they could get there. I'm sure the market will ignore this and RIVN will drop because RJ wore the wrong color quarter zip to his NYE party but I'm excited for what this means for Rivian.
I'm extremely impressed at their execution this year. This, ahem.. adventure, hasn't been perfect, but they are working hard and improving constantly. I was born 30 miles from this factory, and my entire family still lives in the area. Two of my relatives worked in the plant when it was Mitsubishi, and it was sad to see it close.
Just a few years later, I have friends working at Rivian, and the coolest vehicles in the world are made in Central Illinois. Makes me very happy to see this company and the community thriving.
Also, sorrynotsorry, but I can't help but picture the end of the 80s movie Gung Ho.
