What will we learn 5/24 - 5/30?

The part I thought interesting were the 180 vehicles stacked up in the lot on the right, can't really tell what they are but they certainly are clustered and not parked normally.

Clearly not anything made by Rivian.

If I remember correctly, the facility was used to store VW & Audi vehicles from Dieselgate.

No Clue the date of the Ariel shot on the Bing Map, we know it is newer as the word "NOT" is in front of "The End". Parking lot has tons of cars in it so looks like a lot of activity going on at the plant.

Back in 2013 when all of us who pre-ordered the (at the time) new Corvette C7 there were some pilots on the forum who would fly over the plant a couple of times each week to take aerial photos of the parking lot where the cars had just come off the assembly line. It would be interesting to see if we had any pilots in the forum who could keep us updated on the progress.

I'm convinced that given the limited production options of the LE they will most likely just start pumping them out and assigning them to the LE pre-orders as their number comes up in the delivery process. I'm hoping that since in the configurator LA Silver, Black Mtn are the defaults in when you launch the configurator that it would be very easy for them to just start making a bunch of them without having to tie them to a specific order (at least at first).

Possible but they were not there before. They could be storage for rental companies, I know there was a lot of that going on during COVID out here in CA but not sure how big the rental market is around Normal.

As I stated, can't really tell what they are just found it interesting and was glad to see a full parking lot showing lots of people in the workforce.

Okay, no one else is jumping in to start a weekly prediction thread, so I'll do it.

I really wish I had some skills in using Photoshop. If I did, this post would be highlighted by a pile of dead crickets. Cause, that's all we're hearing right now. Not even crickets. Just silence.

What do I think will happen this week? I think they'll throw us a bone.

And, I mean that just the way it sounds. I think they have a problem. I have no idea what it is. But, it's consuming all their energy right now. They will throw us something, like more statistics, to keep us occupied while they burn the midnight oil working on whatever is troubling them.

There's really not much we can do about this, except chill, meditate, do yoga, drink lot's of beer or whatever it takes to relax. This will pass!

Lunch is served! ?

Did anyone notice -> "THE END"?

Yes, that is the old picture. The new satellite images has the word "NOT" in front of it. I pasted that to show the lot previously was empty.

If you look closely at the white ones, you can tell they have normal sized sun roofs, and not the all-glass roof.

These are not the Rivians you're looking for.

You guys are tempting me to drive to Normal and get the drone out

I doubt anyone here will try to dissuade you.

Hell is often frozen over, since it is in Norway.
