Isn’t there a huge SK industries factory already there? I delivered some equipment onsite a few years ago and it was a sprawling, massive complex before Rivian was even mentioned. The Rivian site looks to be a small piece of that complex.
Dumping EVs, returning to gasoline powered vehicles.

There are several industries on the south side of I-20 in an industrial park called Stanton Springs. Rivian has broken ground on the north side of 20 on a much larger scale.
I say this about American made vehicles in general.
I say this about American made vehicles in general. They all got bailouts or loans.
As of 2020:
GM's subsidy - about $50.3 Billion
Fiat-Chrysler subsidy - about $17.6 Billion
Ford took out a loan, as as of 2020 still owed $5.9 Billion, and had about $33 Billion in Subsidies.
Tesla also got a bailout of about $0.4 Billion, and paid it back 9 years early.
To be fair, Tesla is also getting several billion to make their chargers work with everybody's EVs.
Then there's oil:
Exxon Mobile subsidy - about $1.02 Billion
Chevron subsidy - $117 million
Shell oil subsidy - about $1.8 billion
I say remove all the subsidies and let the best vehicle and technology win.
Gonna be the fastest challenger ever. ICE doesn't stand a chance at making the raw power EV does. It's not even fair.
It was still going mach 1.9, and they hadn't even started throttle up.
He may not be old enough to know what your talking about.......
Whoops... I did it again...
