How is Rivian an California startup? The founder is from Michigan. Rivian is headquartered in Plymouth, Michigan outside Detroit. The truck is being built in an old Mitsubishi plant in Normal, Illinois. It's a Delaware corporation. Is it because the original funding came from California?
- paxys 5y agoThe internet seems split on the location of their headquarters. Some sites say Irvine, CA, the rest Plymouth, MI.
- adrr 5y agoTheir HQ is in Irvine,CA. It says on their website on the careers page.
- fastball 5y agoThe relevant section[1]: > Rivian is based in California with a manufacturing plant in Illinois and additional locations in Michigan, Arizona, Vancouver and England. While our teams have adapted well to new ways of collaborating, we believe that having inspired physical spaces to gather and connect remains important. Looks like they moved the HQ to Irvine in 2020. [1] https://rivian.com/careers https://rivian.com/careers
