First customer R1S in WA State? (Spotted at Bellevue Service Center)

[Tesla2Rivian]

@bentsauce - thanks for the post. Does the Rivian Blue really look like this (like deep blue metallic) or if this because you took a picture of the picture from your phone and posted it?

I would attribute any perceived difference in the expected color to be the result of the picture quality. The blue was pretty incredible in person, though. Hopefully I'll get a better pic in the next day or two if its still there.

Well it looks like it has plates....so probably not customers. Unless they are delivered with paper plates.

Mine came with a white plastic sheet with a temp license on it:

Yup, that’s exactly what it looked like!

I believe both of these were delivered to employees.

what was your order date? I’m going to be in Pullman next month…so maybe I’ll spot your truck….very sharp….I keep thinking about limestone..?

I ordered in early 2019 and got the truck at the end of March, this year.

Have you seen Limestone in person? Message me when you’re in Pullman… I’m happy to meet up.

One of my coworkers has a blue one, and there is a launch green one that keeps showing up (maybe it’s a WSU Spokane employee or a parent coming down a couple times a month).

Thanks……I’m currently stationed in Italy..but will be coming back to Washington next year(retired). i have one daughter in college in Pullman and one at the UW. I’m hoping I don’t get delivered until late spring next year…but that doesn’t look like it will happen, as Rivian is really picking up production…which is good. So, my brother in Montana will probably have a R1T in his garage for a little while?. I haven’t seen a Rivian yet..since I’m overseas..but I’m staying in Bellevue when I’m drop off my daughter to the UW next month…so hopefully I’ll be able to see some at the service center, which is right across the street? On the way back to Montana…I’ll be stopping in Pullman…so I may take u up on your offer…if everything works out…thanks. Tom I really have been looking at the limestone..but I’m a little worried it my be too light and too much blue hue…

RB looks nothing like that. Much lighter. Strangely flat even in the California sun. Shade varies depending on sun/cloud…
This picture is the furthest from what RB actually looks like.
Edit: picture of a picture

his giant smile confirmed it for me it was a customer vehicle

I believe this may be mine: right spec (Rivian Blue, correct wheels and tires), right location (Bellevue), right timing. Supposed to arrive about this weekend.

Would love to know the VIN to confirm. It still has to pass inspections.

I believe this may be mine…

Any ties to Rivian, or just a lucky super early customer?

Took this picture a little before 12:30pm this afternoon. The parking lot was absolutely packed with R1Ts (must have been close to 40-45?). There was a contractor performing QC on a nearby R1T and I tried to get some info out of him. He wouldn’t say much, but his giant smile confirmed it for me that it was a customer vehicle. I don’t think we have demo trucks at Bellevue (someone correct me if I’m wrong!).

BIG BLUE STILL IN BELLEVUE

That might be yours Papa! I know that the first one that was delivered was to an employee (it was launch green) so if this is yours you'd be the first customer (non employee) that I'm aware of.

It’s moved up closer to the building! Wooooo! Get that puppy delivered!

Great photo! Sure hope you’re right. It looks ready to go. Will report back once I know more.
