- In this video we're taking a look at Rivian's (RIVN) first manufacturing plant in Normal, Illinois where it builds its R1T and R1S EVs. This manufacturing plant is the first of what Rivian hopes to be many manufacturing plant. Purchased in 2017 for $16 million, Rivian has turned the former Mitsubishi/Chrysler plant into its flagship manufacturing facility where it plans to eventually produce in excess of over 200,000 EVs each year.
Rivian has plans to build another facility, in Georgia, with estimates coming at $5 Billion to build out the new facility. Join us as we take an inside look at how Rivian purchased the facility, what it makes there, and what its future plans for expansion are.
Thanks for watching and don't forget to like the video and leave a comment about this Trailblazing EV manufacturing facility.

What do you think of Rivian's manufacturing facility in Normal, Illinois? Let us know what you think about the company and whether they will emerge (and remain) a competitor to Tesla?
I'd be interested in knowing why they chose Central, IL. Because the facility was cheap to purchase? I grew up nearby. It's good to see something good happen for the economy in that area.
@@billthecat7536 our understanding is that it was largely due to (a) favourable government incentives and tax breaks, and (b) the ability to take an almost-ready car manufacturing plant and update a little further (which likely saved Rivian hundreds of millions, if not more). For some perspective, the new plant Rivian has announced for Georgia will cost an estimated $5 Billion to build. The $16 million paid for this plant, which included equipment, was quite the deal.
@@trailblazedHQ Money talks, right? Thanks.
@@billthecat7536 Mitsubishi was in that building '88-'15. It was basically already set up as a automobile assembly plant
it doesn't look anything like a Tesla factory. it looks old school which is a bit surprising. I hope it works for them.
Rivian is building their second assembly plant in my county in Georgia. It's going to be HUGE. 400,000 vehicles a year with 7,500 employees. Groundbreaking in Spring of 2022. Production begins 2024. Welcome to Georgia Rivian!
Yes! Stay tuned - we've got a new video coming out in the next few weeks about Rivian's new plant in Georgia! Thanks for watching!
Just subscribed. Waiting for the new video to come out.
@@Matrix9381 Thanks for the subscribe! New Rivian video will be out shortly!
@@Matrix9381 New video on the Georgia plant just posted! Hope you enjoy! Let us know what you think.
My dad works for rivian
Working in this plant and seeing the Rivian truck everyday. They really grew on me.
That's awesome! How is life at the plant? Did the recent fire severely impact operations?
Very cool
I’m excited to work next month at Rivian's Normal Illinois manufacturing plant!!
That’s awesome! What will you be doing there?
Awesome video ! I actually am interviewing with them in coming weeks. Fingers 🤞
Thanks! And good luck with the interview!
update?

Hello, the position was line lead. Hate to say it,but I was not offered the position. I hope they can continue to grow and be a real competitive co.
Great video...wow!
Thanks! Really appreciate it!
I bought some $rivn stock after watching this video. Thanks!
Haha - fingers crossed it does well for you. Thanks for watching!
I are gonna loose it all, pull out now
Update... the meals at Rivian are no longer free. That was only during covid epidemic supposedly.
i build the door mirrors in australia. at the moment there is no way we could do 400,000 a year. would be pushing to do a 100,000/per year
These people wanna hire me lol they invested so much and it’s crazy how much they are position shows
Good luck with the job!
They also make Amazon electric vehicles there
So this is one of the companies that make that fire hazard of a electric car the kind of fires that are hazardous fuems when on fire with those nuclear waste batteries when they dispose of those unenviomental friendly ion batteries
Meals are not free, I work there and haven’t been free for the last year
I see the cars in the employee parking lot but where are the workers ? Everything looks like it's built by Robos
Recent reports have over 5,000 employees at Normal. I believe they're still only working one general assembly shift though, so that may explain why the parking lot is not full.
Has the wage changed ?
Great location! Buy American products.... Reduce shipping times... Especially with the ship on fire full of VW & Porsche cars. Its better to buy local cars
There's no question Rivian and Tesla have a massive advantage over EVs built elsewhere. It will be interesting to see whether Rivian receives a similar ambivalence (and maybe even disdain) from the US government, notwithstanding them both being US-based EV manufacturers. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Agreed Ahmed, if we to bring production back to the US then we need to vote with our wallets
I will stick to my 71 dodge power wagon thank you
6:31 Those meals are not free, though they are subsidized by the company.
Facility is awesome, operated by fools!!!
Can you elaborate? Interested in an inside perspective. Thanks for watching!
I work there , they are very unsafe , there is an ambulance there on a weekly basis
Wow pretty unimpressive compared to Tesla plant. Looks like a very slow process. As the owner of 2 Tesla's I just put a deposit down on the R1S and cancelled my Model X order. Tesla does not care about their customers. The reason I am going to try Rivian is because of Tesla's Horrid customer service. I don't believe any company, including Rivian can give worse customer service. I guess I will find out.
