Rivian puts its Georgia factory plans on pause.

In the fog of the release of its new R2 (and R3! and R3X!) vehicles, the news just dropped that the company’s massive $5 billion facility east of Atlanta is now officially on pause. That means Rivian will need to find room at its existing factory in Normal, Illinois, for this new EV trio if it hopes to stick to its early 2026 production plans.
