New Vehicle app looks to be a HUGE improvement, wow. Aligned to the left side, and you can have it automatically show up when the car is put in park? Fantastic!
The Regional Manager I talked to mentioned that currently services requests for Wisconsin folks are going to both Chicago and the Twin Cities, so I expect it will help both!
By a 5-2 vote the Rivian Service Center in Menomonee Falls has been approved. The Rivian Regional Manager estimated that it will be open in July/August. Excellent news!

@FN1186 I haven't seen any updates from that meeting a few weeks back but it is still listed on Rivian's site as "In the works."
Hopefully that means that things are still progressing. https://rivian.com/experience/service
BTW, it's open now! Not a ton of activity on Plugshare as of yet, but we'll hopefully be able to try it for ourselves in a few weeks when we visit family.
Late notice, but the Menonomee Falls Service Center has an open house thing tonight at 5:00pm if anyone is able to attend - https://www.menomonee-falls.org/Calendar.aspx?EID=8341&month=1&year=2024&day=16&calType=0
I don't have a bizjournal account to see the full article, is the open house tonight? Or Feb 16th?
EDIT: Looks like it's tonight at 5:00pm - https://www.menomonee-falls.org/Calendar.aspx?EID=8341&month=1&year=2024&day=16&calType=0
FYI - Looks like the Electrify America charging station at Meijer in Howard (just outside of Green Bay) is FINALLY open. That opens up a lot of of the north east side of the state for us (especially Door County). Looking forward to trying it out in a few weeks!
