Rivian was expected to make the first customer deliveries of its electric truck later this year. The company slowed down work at its factory in Normal, Illinois, in mid-March, and then shut down operations there on March 20. The Pantagraph, a local newspaper in the Bloomington-Normal area, now says that Rivian’s first deliveries will slip into 2021.
The Pantagraph‘s headline, “Rivian delays production launch to 2021,” is somewhat misleading. The first deliveries of the Rivian’s R1T electric pickup truck were expected in the final days of 2020, with the R1S electric SUV arriving about three months later. The timing for when production will resume is still uncertain.
