Looks like a new station is live according to Rivian.com. Looks like Montrose, CO.

Jealous of all the western states getting RAN. Finding a RAN out east may be as exciting as seeing an R1T in person for the first time. I guess we have the app to show us where they are (and they don't move), so not quite the same, but exciting nonetheless.

Made a few updates to the map today:

- Split the new projections from the old projections. The old projections are now small dots and the new ones are pins (just to prevent overlap between that and the confirmed sites)

- Updated all the PNW sites to construction, based on permitting and live status.

In other information, Coos Bay and Madras could be open by the end of the year. Both permits are complete.

On December 8th, I was at the Rivian charging station in Sacramento and talked to a Rivian employee who works on the charging stations. He said that he was on his way to Coos Bay and Madras to complete the installation of the charging stations and that they would be placed into operation "s0000n". I'm a bit suprised that they haven't gone live yet. Maybe I' should take a drive up to Madras to take a look. Someone else needs to head over to Coos Bay.

The Crescent City location is only a couple of blocks from the Kin Khao Thai Eatery! My wife and I stopped by for lunch last week as we are passing though Crescent City and had a great meal.

Rivian R3 (s00n)
Over the past few days, I spent a lot of time searching in the East and I’m happy to say I’ve got results!!

Turns out 3 out of the 4 Virginia sites have already been built (the civil part at least) without anyone noticing. I suspect the fourth is as well, but I have to find it first.

Summary:

In Roanoke, 9 stalls (according to the permit) have been built at the Earth Fare Market at 2203 Franklin Rd. Per the Street View from August, the pedestal bases had been installed but no frames were in.

In Waynesboro, 6 stalls have been built at the MARTIN’s Foods at 437 Tiffany Dr. Same status as Roanoke (from around the same time), pedestal bases installed, no frames.

In Front Royal, I presume 6 stalls are under construction at 55 Riverton Commons Plaza. I have no street view or inspections to confirm it but based on the fact the other two are under construction I’m gonna hedge my bets.

For what it’s worth, the last location on Rivian’s map was not Fancy Gap, but instead some place I’ve never heard of before called Meadows of Dan. Apparently, the Blue Ridge Parkway crosses this town, which also led me to notice all 4 Virginia sites, Blowing Rock, and Cherokee are within a few miles of the BRP or its northern counterpart (Skyline Drive). Now it makes sense as to why Rivian was dodging the Interstate.

Based on the current trend, I’m fairly sure MoD has begun construction if it isn’t already done.

Great work @TeamEV !! They’ve been very clear that the Blue Ridge Parkway was a big focus. Great to see they’re close to following through on that!

Seems like Cherokee at the southern end is maybe all that’s left to locate. I did some of my own Google Street view “tours” around town and couldn’t see anything. There are only really a few possible roads it’s likely to be on if it’s in Cherokee itself. There’s a somewhat new Shell/Greenlots station in town, but it’s limited to just 200amps, which is only like 80kW for a Rivian.

Thanks for the info. I probably just replied to your? twitter post, but this is easier. I grew up close to Meadows of Dan.. Very cool place, but I can't imagine a RAN charger in that location. Maybe a waypoint at some time. Very small community, and very little through traffic relative to other locations. Fancy Gap (exit 8) is west of Meadows of Dan, and more logical by being close to both the BRP and I77. Very little on that exit. a small gas station. a small diner that may be closed (I can't remember) a few more gas stations just off the BRP where it crosses US 52. Another logical spot would be at the base of Fancy Gap on I77. I think its exit 1. There is a Love's/McDonalds with a large parking lot. I'll ask my friends in the area if they have any info on construction, and might take a trip to explore after Christmas.
Whatever the location, I'm extremely excited. Between this one, the REI in Charlotte, and Blowing Rock, NC coming on soon, my local travels will be far easier. Now... if I can only get a good charger in Manteo, I'll be set.

Thank you for all your work. I greatly appreciate it.

OK, now you've got me spending time looking at Meadows of Dan...

FWIW, the Blue Ridge Parkway also passes through/next to Fancy Gap. I had always assumed it would be closer to there because that town is a little bigger and could work ok for both the BRP and I77. I do agree that the Rivian.com coming soon pin looks like it's in Meadows of Dan rather than Fancy Gap. It just seems like a slightly odd choice.
