Rivian to open first Chicago showroom in September, giving customers and the EV-curious a chance to kick the tires

Nearly two years after launching production of its electric pickup trucks and SUVs in downstate Normal, Rivian is planning to open its first showroom in Chicago.

California-based Rivian has leased a 5,160-square-foot space at 871 N. Rush St. in the Gold Coast, called Space, where consumers and the EV-curious can kick the tires on the automaker’s inaugural R1T and R1S models.
