I just spent the day in San Francisco riding a bike unlike any other I’ve ever ridden. This is it. It’s not your average looking or functioning bike—and that may not come as a surprise once you hear it’s the result of that secret skunkworks project that spun out of automaker Rivian earlier this...

Rivian just notified the press that their Economic Development Agreement proposal has been approved and signed by all party members of the Joint Development Authority for the new Georgia factory. Included is a site plan and some numbers.
