Just my luck, I'll be in Germany that weekend.I've been in touch with @DuckTruck, and he's on board.
Proposing the first ORiviot (not sure if that will stick or not ?) meetup at the Drive Electric Earth Day (DEED) event in Wilsonville on April 23rd.

Thanks for sharing the video. I was able to track down the address and drove by this morning. Got a chance to see all of the colors in person except limestone and yellow. Was going to go with blue, but think I'm going to switch to red, it was much more subtle in person than in the configurator. I really recommend if you have a chance to see them in person before choosing to do so.A buddy of mine was able to take a drone up to check the latest deliveries at the service center. So exciting to see the influx of vehicles coming in for Portland deliveries!
Were you able to get up close or just peeking over the fence?
When you come up for air (!) I'd be interested in more info about the broken adapter. What is it adapting and is it fragile, etc. A pic would be great, but understand you have MUCH better things to do.
Bummer that I will miss it as I'll be in Idaho that weekend.I've been in touch with @DuckTruck, and he's on board.

The event has been late coming together with a fair amount of red tape to host it on City property, but it looks like a go.
Format is owners show off their EVs and talk to the public, and as many dealers/manufacturers as we can round up will be there providing test drives (Rivian will not be doing test drives at the event).
Duck has agreed to show up with his R1T, and any and all are welcome to join and get a chance to meet like minded folks (both Rivian specific and EV enthusiasts). Historically, these events have been dominated by Tesla in numbers, but I actually think there is a fair chance that new Rivian owners could give them a run for their money.
For those waiting to see one in person, hoping that there will be a variety of colors (at least the limited number they seem to be shipping) to see side by side. I have no doubts what the main attraction of the event will be

We might have a nice gift for the first xx (tbd) number of registered attendees and vehicle owners. No promises, but that is our intent.
If you are not near Portland, there are 100+ events around the country and hopefully some proud new owners will register to those as well to show off their new rides.

There is supposed to be a small nipple at the top of plastic piece in the first picture that goes into the hole in the second picture. It sits on top of the supplied jack.
Looks like GRFP so it should be strong enough. Jack points on lots of cars are made of the same stuff.There is supposed to be a small nipple at the top of plastic piece in the first picture that goes into the hole in the second picture. It sits on top of the supplied jack.
I’d say it is fragile but if used more carefully, ensuring absolutely no lateral force it would be fine.
And apparently I didn’t get all the mud off from todays adventures
The guy delivering my Rivian said they would. I already have a small list of repair issues:
Rivian reached out today. Apparently they had seen this post.
If you are planning on Germantown, you might consider heading more towards my area and head up Logie Trail Rd. to Skyline and come down Rocky Point. Turning right off Rocky Point onto highway 30 is a good opportunity to try out the acceleration. It's a fun drive and a decent opportunity to try different drive modes. Rocky Point has some really poorly maintained spots that will give you a feel of the suspension through some rough patches and regen will put around 5 miles back by the time you get to the bottom. The brakes on previous vehicles I've driven down Rocky Point have gotten pretty hot, but I don't even touch the brakes with the R1T. Decent scenery too.
