For the owner meet (which I assume you're involved in setting up,) do you know if they could set aside a couple of the "back to back" parking spots in that lot for me to bring my small travel trailer? I'll be heading out camping on Friday, and it would be fun to bring it to this event on my way out of town! (And show off my "all electric camping" setup. Which I did bring to the Seattle R2+R3 event a few months ago, and discovered the parking lot there was *TERRIBLE* to bring a trailer through!)

@CharonPDX I will check on this on Thursday and let you know ASAP. My guess is, we are going to overflow into the adjacent lot to the north and there's usually plenty of room in there (That's where I usually park when visiting there). The space they dedicated is kinda small really.

@LivingInKaos Wife decided to take the Rivian+trailer out tonight, so I'll be bringing my "even more likely to gather attention than a Rivian" vehicle. :-D

Apparently only retirees are adventurous? Why is the owner's event mid-day on a Friday? Or is it just that we are a flyover stop for the staff on their way to Seattle or SF?
Anyway, I'll probably head out over the weekend; I'd like to see the R2 in person since we put in a day 1 pre-order like many of you!

@srnyoung And self-employed or “flexible hours job” people.

Yeah, IDK why they seem to do the owner's stuff on weekdays. It seems to always be that way. Not so bad when they do them at night, but mornings are hard for a lot. At least with Fridays, there are quite a few that work 4-10's Mon-Thu these days, so they can come easily. For me, taking time off from work is easier than taking time off from home, so it's good for me. A couple people I know said they actually requested the time off and invited their immediate supervisors to come with. Thought that was an ingenious plan.

@LivingInKaos Ha. Maybe I can bring my whole elementary school! Got any Rivian school buses yet?

@srnyoung that would definitely be something! I think I saw you today? If so, I'm sorry I didn't connect. Was a very busy day!

@LivingInKaos New R1S owner here, juuuust joined the mailing list but don’t have any info yet. I’m planning to be at the pop-up tomorrow morning; any chance you could post more details about where exactly the owner’s meetup will be relative to the Rivian parking lot area? Would love to say hi!

…or is the photo above our best guess about meetup location (the adjacent lot to the north)

Parking will be in the open lot just north of the parking structure. It's fairly snug, so I suspect many will park in the next lot north from there. Usually always open spots there

Welp, our weekend got outta hand and I didn't make it.

Anyone notice anything they were surprised by in the R2? Any disappointments? What's the closest analog vehicle in size? Forester?

Ha. Still have a job. In meetings until 4p! Never quite got that school bus arranged to bring my 500 little friends. Too bad.
