Placer Paul

We live in Granite Bay, Placer County.

Took Delivery of our R1S November 10, 2023. Forest Green and OC. 21" wheels.

Placed our order on Feb. 28, 2022, but jumped up our delivery by a couple of months through shopping the R1S Shop. Found just what we wanted and a bit more.

Would like to hear about gatherings or events, as well as having some "neighbors" to chat with about things Rivian.

If there's other info I should provide in joining this group, let me know.

Hi, Paul. Welcome! We haven't had any events but I'm open to ideas for setting up a gathering. Perhaps a trip to Prairie City SVRA to do a little offroading. How are you liking your Rivian? Any issues so far?

I'd be interested a little later in the summer to go along to Prairie City. Maybe try my hand and, as I'm a photograph, maybe capture some good images.
I'd also wondered if there might be interest in an informal gathering here at our home in the north end of Granite Bay to chat about cars and share ideas, again maybe in July or August. Thinking maybe a cocktail hour if there's interest, but keep it light as everyone but me has to safely travel home.

Thanks for the welcome. With not quite six months ownership under our belt we've already put over 10,000 miles on our Rivian. Very few and minor issues.
Did have a dash rattle, but then it seems who hasn't had that. Sacramento SC fixed it very quickly and well, as did they also on a couple of minor cosmetic blemishes back at the time of delivery.
When I took it back in for what I believed to be a recurrence of the rattle the tech took a test drive with me. (If you're going to hear a rattle, drive the streets around the SC and you'll hear it for sure.) Turned out I just had some personal items in the car that weren't tucked in properly. I'm slightly hearing impaired and directions of sounds can fool me sometimes, so it was all on me. The tech and I shared a laugh on me.
Had our first service check done at home. Tech found that an oil cap had come off the right front motor. I think it may have been from a very hard jolt we took going through some not so well done road repairs over in SLO County a while back. SC fixed it in a day and under warranty.
Can you tell that I'm impressed with our SC? Good people there.
Early on had to go through the learning curve of charging, especially on longer trips. Had my teachable moments, but seem to have a handle on it now. In town we have our home charger which was part of our solar installation a few months after placing our Rivian order.
I'd certainly tag along on an outing to the SVRA. Very little experience with offroading, but I'm sure I could learn a few things. Maybe watch, cheer, and take photos.
Or perhaps we could do an informal social gathering to admire and discuss our Rivians, and to swap stories and advice.
In any event, glad to be on board with you folks and look forward to meeting in person one day.

@Placer Paul That's a lot of miles in six months! Are you using abetterrouteplanner.com for planning road trips? It's super helpful for charting out chargers and stops.

I'll start thinking about times and locations for a meetup this summer.

Hi Paul, Welcome ! I've met with others at Prairie City and we have made it to a few easy trails last year and a couple of Prairie City trips. This year probably will do a few more again. Let me know if you are interested in joining future trips. I posted here last year but back then there was not a lot of local action. FB and the Other Forum were more active so we set up gatherings etc. there. I'm always up to meet new Rivian owners. If you want to do a a Prairie City meet up and meet with @sacramentoelectric we can do that. This month only next weekend works for me though. June opens up a bit more.

Due to scheduled family travel I'd need to push out a meet up to late June and after. Let's stay in touch.
