I dropped by the SC Friday evening and it looked like there were a couple of R1Ts with Michigan plates. Guessing those are for the test drives coming up.

I took a slight detour to drive by the Rivian lot when I was passing through yesterday. 10-12 R1T in the parking lot. Very monotone in MN. Most of the trucks were white and various shades of grey.

Light and dark 20's and some 21's. Didn't see any 22's

Just swung by. 13 R1Ts. No R1S, but if there is I bet it’s inside.

Did you see a Limestone in the lot? That's one I haven't seen but am considering.

Yeah, I think so. I was so concerned with looking at my El Cap, I didn't really pay attention.

To those that have been to the MN Service Center and talked to someone working there, what's the general feel from them when showing up unannounced?

I'm considering making a trip there to see if I can get an update on our R1T re-paint. We've got a couple events coming up in the next few weeks (tint appointment, camping trip) and it'd sure be nice to know where we're at with timing.

I've got a update request to my guide but also feel bad bugging them knowing they're just a middleman and probably need to get their update from the SC just to pass along to me anyway. If I could go there or call them I could save my Guide, who is slammed, one more task.

Not sure on your case, since it involves something specific. My wife dropped by to take a look at colors, wheels, etc. and said they were very nice, helpful, etc. They sent someone out to open up a truck, let her sit in it, show her some details. She did not even ask, they just took it upon themselves to show her around.

I've never just walked into the office on the west side of the building. The two times someone talked with me I was outside checking out the goods and they happened to come outside and see me. Both times they were very receptive to showing me things. However, I don't know how receptive they would be to you showing up for your situation. I doubt they are doing the repaint there. Maybe your guide could give you the SC phone number?

I had the same experience a few weeks ago. They were friendly and happy to chat.

same experience as others here. dropped by to check on what a Forest Edge interior was like. Some folks came out. Very helpful and nice. They opened up a truck and allowed me to see the FE interior. Grateful for that.

I had my First Mile Drive on Saturday morning. Two Rivian employees showed up at my house (early!) with a Midnight R1T. I was able to drive it on some neighborhood streets and south down 35W for a few miles. Didn't do any launches, but mashed the pedal pretty hard a couple of times on the on-ramps. This things goes like a rocket. It handles so well. My April-May window can't come soon enough!! (uhhh... wait.. it's June tomorrow.. oops). We didn't do much looking at the features as I was able to check one out thoroughly at the service center a couple of months ago so spent most of the time driving around.

The two folks from the service center were super nice and willing to answer all of our questions.

Two thumbs up, 5/5 stars, 100% rating.

They had 11 sitting at the service center last night. We stopped to take a look since we had not seen them in person yet. We did not receive an invitation for the first drive event. We were hoping to see our Forest Green max pack sitting there waiting to be delivered to us a year early but alas it was not there. I think they are very impressive looking and look forward to driving one. For those who ordered midnight there were a couple new ones that looked like they just arrived.
