The R1T that was spotted in L-Town belongs to a Rivian employee who works at the plant but was in Mechanicsville visiting family. It sounds like Erik who lives in St. Mary's City may be the first local owner as his order date was in December of '18 and expected delivery date is March or April.
Other than the rather generic e-mail with estimated date, have you heard from Rivian about finalizing details? I was hoping they would do a First Mile event for the DC/MD/VA area but I haven't seen anything. Budds Creek, MD would be a great location. :)
I'm with you on driving the beltway, I grew up in NoVA but will only drive the beltway on weekends. Currently live in California - Wildewood. We saw our first R1T a few weeks ago, chased the owner down at Leonardtown Winery. What's your pre-order date? I've got one R1S from October of '19...
Have you heard from Rivian that Rockville will not cover Southern, MD? From St. Mary's County, MD (southern tip of MD) it's about 90 minutes to Rockville or 120 to Richmond.
