Changes to the factory will allow Rivian to improve the production rate at the site by approximately 30%
Production will be paused at the Rivian factory in Illinois between April 5 and April 30.Retooling will dramatically improve efficiency at the site.No exact date has been provided for when the Rivian configurator will re-open. Rivian will temporarily halt the acceptance of custom orders for the R1T and R1S over the next few months. As a result, prospective customers looking to acquire one of the EVs will need to select a vehicle from the existing inventory.
However, there’s always a chance that someone’s dream R1T or R1S will already be in the inventory and available for immediate delivery. The company will suspend production at its factory from April 5 to April 30. This shutdown is aimed at retooling the site to reduce production costs significantly. Rivian also asserts that these changes will enhance the production rate at the facility by approximately 30%. Rivian is thought to be readying a significant update for its R1 platform.
