Rivian has released a new video of their pilot production line for their upcoming R2 SUV.

"Before the start of production next year, we’re making sure R2 is ready to build at global scale, from parts design to end of line processes. This starts with validating each individual part and how they all fit together. The assembly process is refined through validation builds on our pilot line in California. The team from our manufacturing plant in Normal, IL rotates in to train on the new processes while providing critical feedback to our engineers to make vehicle assembly as simple and efficient as possible. Pilot line testing ensures R2 will be built to the highest standard of quality from the very beginning."
