Tesla Cybercab Assembly Leader Joins Rivian R2 Program
A key manager overseeing Cybercab assembly at Tesla's Texas Gigafactory has reportedly departed the company to take on a director role for Rivian's upcoming R2 electric vehicle program. This marks the second high-profile exit from Tesla's robotaxi development team this year, raising questions about the program's progress. The move sees the talent shifting to Rivian's Normal, Illinois, facility, where the more affordable R2 is slated for production.
