I work for Rivian and I can attest RJ is like this in person. Genuinely nice, smart and very involved. He takes the time to get to know new employees. He may randomly stop at your desk to chat about what you are working on.
Same here man , he will take his time to make sure he touches base with every department and positions from janitors to werehouses managers, he is such a nice guy
I just started working at Rivian today, and although I am not in the US but in Serbia, I am really impressed with the Rivian culture and mission. For the first time in my life, I am not here only to do my job - I really want to be a part of this journey and do everything I can to see it grow and succeed in it's mission. Keeping the world adventurous, forever.
The mind-blowing part to me, is that unlike Elon, RJ actually is like this in person, at least according to my sister, who works in California for Rvian. Actually someone you want to talk to, and interact with!
I work at Rivian and have met RJ, he is actually a very nice man, takes time to talk to his workers and will Collab with everyone to improve just about everything, he takes his time to talk to everyone from janitors to warehouse managers, I love working for them it's great
To be fair, before all Tesla blew up the way it is now, Elon wasn't a bad dude, from what I was told. He would talk to people, interact with people and hold meetings to make things better. Then once Tesla became that household name he started doing the things you see today. (This is coming from my wife who had meetings with Elon on occasion)
R J Scaringe is an excellent example of the American Dream. To envision something and to make it a reality as he has done is not only miraculous, but inspirational.
Took delivery of my R1T 3/31/2023. Now 18 months and over 12k miles later, it is the best vehicle I've ever owned. Looking forward to seeing the new R2 & R3 models!
Nicely done! Its so exciting to be a Rivian owner. This company has a very bright future. The trucks will get better with each passing month as the software team pushes out updates to bring new features and functions to the vehicles. I would like to thank the entire team at Rivian for making this possible!
This is one of the most beautifully photographed and produced marketing videos I've ever seen. So stoked to see ore of these come off the line and into the wild!
I know Rivian will succeed and the toughest days are behind you now. Your products simply sell themselves and glad to see the R1S body panels as I’m anxiously waiting for mine. I’m proud of the entire Rivian team with RJ at the helm. You’ve got this.
This whole comment section, just spews positivity. I don't have the money to buy one, but this is inspiring. Funny Question, did anyone see the Amazon logo on the headlight in final assy?
Imagine what they can do when they get the new custom made factory in Georgia, instead of an old recycled Mitsubishi plant.. that being said, they’ve done a terrific job!
As a 20 year GM employee, this is extremely impressive. I'm rooting for you guys. Can I recommend since GM has basically stopped passenger van production there are clients looking to fill their orders they can't get filled by us.
Watching this after the R2/R3 reveal and I can truely see that they had vision a year ago and still maintain that vision. I for one believe in them and their success will be great.
@@heatism you can still option an R1T with one, but hasn't been possible to get an S with a 400 mile pack. Best you can do to optimize range on it is to option the dual motor large pack, which has slightly improved range/kWh
After watching this, and having worked my entire life for manufacturing companies, I have a deep sense that Rivian will be EXTREMELY successful! Manufacturing is complex. And these guys are conquering that complexity!
Appreciate RJ and team's effort to think about every aspect in a truck and SUV. They really thought this through, something which the legacy carmakers won't do. Rooting for Rivian. Hope they make it big and bring out more awesome EVs.
*I'd kill to work for you guys. I wish you guys everything verbally fathomable. I've been impressed every word of newsletters, every interview, every project.* I get mine this sept!
Thanks Rivian! Truly fascinating. I think I could watch this a hundred times and see something new each time. "Team, attitude, capabilities, and willingness to challenge one another." So awesome! Thanks to everyone at Rivian for making these amazing vehicles.
Yeh. Me too. It's so much to see there. It'll take several weeks to go thru tours in there. It'll be better to work there to see all the wonders of this small city. Do they have dining halls like college campuses have? That'll be AWESOME.
Can't wait to see more Rivian's on the Road. Keep up the Great Work! Need to get the EV Grid up and running in CALIF for all the new Rivian's on the Road.
After 3 VIN # matches I finally got my R1T this last weekend. Truly amazing vehicle. I had to take it over for PPF and ceramic coating but I'm looking so forward to getting it back and drive it a lot more. I only got to see a little from the catwalk - as the rest was roped off. It seemed that all the bays were in use so I'm not exactly sure how they'll eventually 4x production output, but I'm sure they'll figure it out. Also looking forward to OTA updates to give me those niceties that I use to have with my Model 3 - such as Netflix, GPS based retractable mirrors and garage door openers, but I'm sure they'll make it eventually. Good job and keep making it better.
If I remember correctly, they just did an update in regards to the garage door openers, a YTber/ R1T owner posted about a couple of days ago. so 1/3 so far lol
@@gerardor7967 I was told at the pickup that it's not GPS based and I don't see any configuration for that (so I think he was right). Small thing but it was nice...LOL.
@@mikecoleman4628 great point. And I imagine added familiarity and efficiency improvements in the production lines over time will also help to improve throughput.
Awesome to hear you're investing in PPF. All my vehicles have it and it's truly a blessing to lock in a new paint finish forever. Congrats on your R1T!
I would love to see one of the extended vans turn into a wheelchair van with a Under Vehicle Lift(UVL)… this is a need. My daughter and myself would greatly benefit from something like that! I love the company and it’s cutting edge technologies. I can’t wait to see what’s in the future for Rivian!
We’re waiting for ours. I can’t wait to have two EVs. But, the Rivian will be epic, I know. Two seniors with a Rivian going all over Idaho, Oregon and Washington…and NorCali. Can’t wait.
Thank you, Watching this transformation of this old vacant Mitsubishi plant into the state of art E.V. manufacturing site, simply inspiring. Giving almost a fresh new meaning to being "BUILD IN THE U.S.A." I'm a fan. I was on the Central Coast in California last month and saw my first RS1 parked in the Redwoods off Highway 9 and then again another one driving up the coast north of Santa Cruz. Both were different in color, which was refreshing since so many other E.V.'s come in only a few choices color and if you want it in a different color You Will Pay! Haven't Been able to purchase my own E.V. but when I do it will most likely be a Rivian!
I've been foaming at the mouth since the day I first saw the R1T about two years ago. I've seen a few in the wild here and there and I'm super impressed. I will be a Rivian owner damn soon and I cannot wait to make it happen. Super stoked for this vehicle to be in my garage someday!
AMAZING! All of it. Thank you for sharing. I love the choice to use the drone to capture all the unique angles and footage to highlight everything. Just wow.
I just literally pulled alongside a rivian pickup truck and was amazed. I have never seen one before. So I looked it up to see who makes them and to get some more information about the company. I’m so pleased to see what it’s doing and especially to see how young the CEO and founder is. This is amazing and I hope that it dies extremely well and grow ten times fold.
I'm way out in Hawaii, dreaming of loading my surfboards and taking a cruze to the Northshore. I love this company and product so much ill wait forever to get my truck! Rivian rocks! Go adventure!
Starting to see these in Denver. My friend just got one and absolutely loves it. Quite envious. To see this level of manufacturing is truly amazing. Outstanding work on this video. (Future Rivian Customer)
Great video! Love these trucks and excited to be on the wait-list. I just wish you'd make a half-cab, long bed option for people who want to use their trucks for work.
Awesome video. Love seeing the production come together. Can’t wait for our vehicles later this year. We need this kind of communication to keep up confidence while customers wait patiently for their orders!
That's such a great video. I know most car factories are like this but it's seriously impressive. Rivian are a proper car maker; I know there are bears out there who want them to fail but I think we should all be rooting for their success. This is another great American company doing great things. I test drove an R1T recently and it was amazing. Really well built and great to drive. Good on them.

Well I hope he stays with his company as long as people buy his vehicles. Gotta love this new working ethics.

Is it possible to take a tour of facility?

Parts stamped and truck built here in the good old USofA! Can't wait to get mine! Oct-Dec delivery date! Thanks RJ and team. I am rooting for you!
I'm jealous. Can't afford 1 yet.

Don’t hold your breath on that delivery date. I’m right there with you tho. *Oct-Dec
@@adam-diamond yeah i know. Especially with today's email.
@@TheDisgruntledMechanic same here. Besos needs to let us have our vehicles before Xmas.
Welcome to Georgia! Looking forward to having Rivian in our community.
The most satisfying vehicle purchase I’ve ever made. 👍🏼 Cheers Rivian!
We're so glad to have you a part of the community.
RJ is one of the greatest visionaries of our times. I am confident in Rivian’s success.
I agree!
I love the relentless positivity of this company.
Well said
Cult like.
i work @Rivian, thanks RJ for allowing me to be a part of your amazing Team...#GORIVIAN #TEAMRIVIAN

Don't think you'll see one there. Its too big for some of those tiny streets.

We're so proud to have Rivian in our Bloomington/Normal Community! Can't wait to get our hands on a R1S!
As a former employee I am excited to see things moving forward at this pace. Keep up the good work!
Why did you leave?
@@streetsharkz I retired.

lol Well this didn't age well.
It's so cool seeing all of the changes to paint shop now. I've been parts of so many renovating projects, it's almost unrecognizable
Well done. Straight forward no BS. Gotta say, you can tell RJ has a lotta heart and it shows in the quality and leadership portrayed here.
This whole comment section, just spews positivity. I don't have the money to buy one, but this is inspiring. Funny Question, did anyone see the Amazon logo on the headlight in final assy?
Imagine what they can do when they get the new custom made factory in Georgia, instead of an old recycled Mitsubishi plant.. that being said, they’ve done a terrific job!
The only thing reused from Mitsubishi were the stamping presses. They emptied the building and started over.
Work for Rivian and can honestly say, best job in the world working on these vehicles
As a 20 year GM employee, this is extremely impressive. I'm rooting for you guys. Can I recommend since GM has basically stopped passenger van production there are clients looking to fill their orders they can't get filled by us.
Buy and hold shares of Rivian stock!
This factory is amazing. Absolutely state of the art.
Watching this after the R2/R3 reveal and I can truely see that they had vision a year ago and still maintain that vision. I for one believe in them and their success will be great.
Celebrating my 3rd year as a preorder holder today. Cheers, interesting video and can't wait for the Max Pack!
I feel we Max Pack preorder holders won't see our truck until Q2-Q4 2023. Gotta keep our hopes that it's sooner!... max pack WILL be worth the wait.
They don’t sell max packs anymore right? On the configurator?
@@heatism you can still option an R1T with one, but hasn't been possible to get an S with a 400 mile pack. Best you can do to optimize range on it is to option the dual motor large pack, which has slightly improved range/kWh
As a Rivian employee who hasn't visited the Normal Plant, this excites me.
I’ve watched this video like 3 times. So impressive Rivian is here to stay.
My R1T test drive is coming up in 2-weeks. Looking forward to driving one and seeing it up close. Rivian, I’m rooting for you!
Proud to own one of these amazing vehicles!!! Thank You to everyone @rivian and RJ Scaringe!!!
After watching this, and having worked my entire life for manufacturing companies, I have a deep sense that Rivian will be EXTREMELY successful! Manufacturing is complex. And these guys are conquering that complexity!
The absolute best vehicle I have ever owned! I love it! Every bit worth my wait time of 908 days!
Awesome! Can't wait to take delivery of my R1T!
I am hoping the next tour video shows more R1S being produced.
HERE, HERE!!!
More R1S content please.
I totally agree, we need more R1S attention. Trucks are great, but SUV's rule!
I want the R1S
Wow! Very impressive, good job and good luck to you and your team.
Rivian is amazing. Absolutely state of the art.
I have to admit: I am impressed!
That is a GORGEOUSLY BEAUTIFUL factory ! .. WELL DONE !
I don't have the budget but from all that I hear its a great product, a big success. I wish you could get a deal with the USPS to fleet their vehicles
That would be ideal. Instead we got a pork barrel project of inefficient gas guzzlers.
Appreciate RJ and team's effort to think about every aspect in a truck and SUV. They really thought this through, something which the legacy carmakers won't do. Rooting for Rivian. Hope they make it big and bring out more awesome EVs.
This brand and its products are so fantastic. Really hope they make it. I want that R1T!

Amazing design and extreme tool for the adventurous and fun-loving individuals.
Amazing,..Can't wait for my R1S. Ty Rivian team.
We’re so excited to get our US made car I love this so much.

What an amazing last shot. Go Rivian!
Wow I can not wait to buy one of these! I had no idea you did all of this in house!
