I didn't look at that closely at the lighting. There was only so much I could take in, in a short amount of time. I wish I had one to take home and go over all the details !

I just got home from the First Mile Event and I was thrilled with the experience ! It all takes place outdoors and there are stations setup to highlight things like Color Samples, Adventure Gear, Charging, Camp Kitchen and Tent. There's a booth where you can purchase T-shirts, hats and water...

I'll be selling a 2007 Dodge Ram 2500 diesel when I get the R1T and my solar PV system offsets most of my electric use. I plan to expand the PV system to offset the additional needs of the R1T. I work from home, so no daily commute.

Here's my take on it. They are limiting the number of people and scheduling 30 min time slots staggered every 15 min. I think this is partly due to covid and just to keep it at 1 truck on the track, at a time. So we don't really know how many preorders there are in the area, but I'm assuming the...

They are starting with the 2022 model year, so even if it ships in 2021, the title will show it as 2022

I've had Launch Green and Forest Edge selected from the start. I like how Forest Edge looks in the configurator, but it looks darker green in this picture from the factory. It might just be the lighting and camera settings.

Maybe they are starting with the 2018-2019 R1T LE preorders. The number of slots are limited. I would hope they continue to have test drives as an ongoing event into October - November.

You would be like the 3rd wheel with my wife and I :rolleyes:. I hope Kyle from Rivian Stories gets an invite. He's from Illinois and would be the best person to do a livestream.

I would drive one home, given the opportunity, but I have not had any contact from a guide yet. They would need to arrange the financing, trade in, insurance and home charging ahead of time. I guess we have 2 weeks to get that done before the test drive. To my future Rivian guide, I'm waiting...

The first group to get a test drive had the benefit of a dedicated film crew documenting their experience over 2 days. We get a 30 minute time slot. I don't want to be distracted by having to think about camera angles and video production. I'll be totally focused on the R1T and the experience...

There are still open slots during the week. Get on the chat with them or send an email to CS and ask. That's what I had to do.

It's odd because I have been getting all the other email notices from them, so I'm not sure what happened. It's not in the junk mail folder. I got the confirmation email after the chat with CS, so I'm good for Monday morning.

I got on a chat with Bryan and he said I should have gotten the email. He's going to help me get signed up. Looks like I'll be going on Monday, since all the time slots on Sunday are full.

I didn't get the email :-( and I live just an hour from Normal and preordered 11-26-2018. I sure don't get how they choose the order these go out !

How about extending your range on trips by taking it slower and driving on the back roads. Old Route 66 is the perfect drive and it goes right through Bloomington/Normal, IL. There are so many interesting places to stop and see along the way. I know most people are in a hurry to get to...

What's the difference between Alexa and Siri, other than the company that made it ? I turned off Siri on my iPhone and I don't use anything with Alexa. I'll probably try it when I get the truck, but I'm not a fan of voice controls in general.

I'm between Pontiac and Kankakee. I ordered in Nov 2018 as well. I'm getting excited !

I had a 2017 Volt and I listened to the AM radio all the time, for local sports talk. I never noticed a problem. I sold it to my son, since he needed an upgrade over his old VW Jetta and I'm getting a big upgrade to a R1T !

While the planned events will allow for seeing all or most of the color choices, they did say you could opt for a test drive at your home, and they bring it to you. I guess we will find out when they send out the first batch of invites. It would be more fun to go to an event and meet other...

Hey Duck, thanks for confirming the FE interior is more muted than the configurator. I have the same configuration as you ( R1T LE, LG, FE, 20"AT) and have been that way since the beginning. It reminds me of the Lime Gold 67 Mustang I had in my younger days, though my memory could be a little...
