Lots of Limestone at the lot outside the factory. First time seeing it up close. It was rainy out but I'm happy with the color. Curious to see it in the sunlight.
We went by there today. Lot is pretty full of R1T's. There was a car carrier loading up R1T's from the lot in the picture.
Hopefully all the R1S are inside or somewhere protected. Bad weather predicted for Central IL today.
We swung through Bloomington today and unfortunately missed the Limestone R1T (saw the usual colors). Hopefully someone that lives in the Peoria area takes delivery of a Limestone R1T or R1S in the next 6 months. I've seen enough Rivian Blue and White (our other top choices) to count them out...
Rivian is going to be at an Earth Day event on Saturday about 30 mins from the factory. I'm going to drive by the factory after the event to see if anything is visible (I don't have a drone). I'm hoping the rail cars aren't there so I have a clear view of the staging lot.
This looks like the latest revisions. Made everyone in IL eligible. Public comment available through tomorrow. 3076 starts with the definitions, etc.

There was no language for an income cap, it was only that those with lower incomes get priority in processing the rebate. There was one article referencing an income cap but it wasn't correct.
The last time I checked it was restricted to Chicago area counties. They were supposed to update it...
We are planning to do a similar trip (about the same starting point) once we receive our R1S. Really looking forward to your feedback. Have a safe trip!
I would assume the conversion rate will be significantly higher on the LE's vs the newer orders for Adventure/Explorer. I doubt we will ever know but it is fun to speculate.
I have a reservation for a R1S, Hummer SUV EV, Silverado EV, and Cybertruck. The SUV is the immediate (want) and the...
That is really disappointing but not surprising. I would be pretty upset if the plug was pulled that close to making a trip that far.
There was hardly any trucks outside when I went by yesterday. I did pass 3 LG (I think) on a truck that had just left the factory.
We saw (2) trucks with R1T's heading north on I-55 today.. They did have white plastic on the front of each truck. Unfortunately, it was ripping off and flapping around (only 45 miles from the factory).
We also drove by the factory. There were hardly any R1T's outside. Maybe 20? They did...
