I'm sure their first employees are paid well enough to afford the truck themselves.

And to start the internet speculations, what do people think of the potentially vague messaging? Were the first deliveries to the first employees? Or were the first employees just there for the special night?

"A special night with some of Rivian's earliest employees and now earliest deliveries! Some of these families have been helping build our company for over 11 years. Thanks for all the hard work and dedication." @RJScaringe EDIT: One more photo from the Instagram post:

The closest relation I have to Rivian is the $1000 of mine they have and this forum. I don't think the reason I got invited is more than a random selection of people from a long list.

This is the same conversation I have with most everybody that sees me charging my motorcycle: "That's electric?" "Yes." "Who makes it?" "Zero." "Is it a BMW?" "No. Zero Motorcycles. They've been around for a decade...<incoherent grumblings>..." Back on topic: I wonder if they are going to say...

It appears to be a few inches thick. I don't know the width and depth of it, but you should be able to guesstimate it and do some simple math.

IMHO it'd be a pretty small service center for such a large metropolis and potential customer base. Paying top dollar for real estate in that neighborhood for something like a service center doesn't made a whole lot of sense.

When I booked it, Wednesday the 29th and Thursday the 30th were basically wide open. I just went back to look again, but the website threw an error.

Looks like they disabled the ChargePoint links and the ability to set it up.

I guess you won't be one of my +1s. :p

I emailed them about the chargepoint linking issue. Hopefully that's a bug they fix before somebody tries to start charging their new truck.

I reserved in the last week of Launch Editions (11/17/2020) and was totally surprised that got the invite today for the First Mile event. Planning a road trip from Chicago to Normal on the 29th!

Great idea! Rent out the camp kitchen when not in use to recoup some of that 5k. What would people pay for a rental? $200 a week, 1 week minimum?

Heads move more than butts. And with such a small mirror, it is hard to have the leeway in any central automatic adjustment to account for minuscule changes in head position. Even in the same drive I find myself manually moving my rear view mirror as I adjust my torso / head.

I've got some ideas. Compressor hose = Dog leash?

Hopefully they hove zoned climate control in the waiting rooms, just like their vehicles. This is 2021 after all.

YOLO

Why are they at a gas station? Also noticed the GoPros mounted on the hood and side. Based on the muddiness, they must be making some fun videos.

It definitely looks raised. I hope I don't have to carry a collapsible step stool for my camp kitchen.
