The temporary stoppage began earlier this month at its factory in Normal, Ill., according to Rivian. The EV maker declined to specify which components were in short supply, but said it expects to recover all missed production. It provided no timeline. Rivian has amassed a surplus of the delivery vans at the plant that are awaiting delivery to Amazon.
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
Leading industry change is always a challenge. Good luck in getting the problem corrected and we hope to see your vans delivering our orders soon.
