Bit of a ramble, stick with me here. I’m in central Kansas, surrounded by fenced-off crop and pastureland. There is an ORV park about 90 miles to the east. Been waiting for my Tesla adapter with my plan being to charge at a supercharger halfway in between to have sufficient reserve to have...

Short video update from Rivian's VP of Manufacturing, Erik Fields. Not sure when he replaced Matt Tall, the former VP of Manufacturing. Fields has extensive experience with Honda and Nissan. The video shows some nice overall views of robots, other production line progress...
