I know a lot of you have been to car shows with your R1's, but has anyone made a 'brag sheet' like the old cars have? I'm wanting to create one because when I step away to look at all the other cars, the wife is left to answer questions and she still knows next to nothing about my R1. LOL

Would love to see your examples!
Haven't taken my R1T to a car show but I constantly have people stop me and ask about my R1T. Usually it starts with "What is that?" I printed up a card I keep in the truck and hand it out when people stop and ask about the truck - which is often. I really enjoy talking to them.

As my wife can confirm, I am more than happy to discuss cars/trucks with almost anyone as long as you are not being a jerk. Most in the Midwest are friendly folk.

If it happens to be me you'll probably see a grown man cry.
Bro, I would never do that to another being. I almost got into an accident the other day trying to swerve out of the way of a ninja squirrel that jumped off a tree and right in front of my car. Live, love, laugh.

I have owned some ICE cars that prompt people to ask questions or just strike up a conversation. I always try to take the time and talk to them. All of the people that approach me have been nice and I feel that life is too short to not be nice. The Rivian will be my first EV and it's an American car, which I love. I plan to talk their ear off!

Someone a few months ago had the great idea of printing a QR code on vinyl they stuck on their window that would pull up information about Rivian.

I will be fine with the questions until someone asks me if it’s a Cybertruck:asshat:
How about "what kinda gas mileage does it get?"

I‘m used to getting asked silly questions all week so I think I could handle that one pretty well:)

The CT question is in a different category even if the unsuspecting person asking doesn’t know that!

My sentiments, exactly!

Yeah asking if its a cybertruck is like another guy coming up and asking about your wife's rack. Its not so much an honest question but an insult masquerading as a question.

The nail in coffin of their ICE is when I just say imy 4 motors got over 800 pounds torque. Or if they ask me if it's 4 wheel drive, I say, no, it's 4 motor drive.

I pulled up to a store and the R1T lowered and some guy said "Wow, that's cool, did you install it yourself?:"

Similar thing happened to me when I was dropping off some items for donation. The Gen-Z said "did you add bags?" I was at a complete loss as to why he would be asking me this quesition as I was handing him boxes from the bed. Then he said something about seeing my truck lowering and I figured it out.

LOLOL.

I told the guy when he made that comment "My wife is 5'1" and I am 6'2"....comes in handy when it is lowered

I've got this as well. "That's a Tesla, right?" - "It's a Rivian." - "But it's a Tesla?" 😖
I would look at them and say "Yeah, this is what the good looking CYBERTRUCK looks like"
