Rivian (RIVN) starts R2 production days after tornado hit factory, deliveries this spring
Rivian officially started production of its R2 electric SUV at its Normal, Illinois plant today, marking the most critical milestone in the company’s history.
The production launch comes just five days after an EF-1 tornado ripped through the same facility, collapsing a section of the roof in Building 2 — the very area dedicated to R2 operations.
