Just confirmed my First Mile drive for April 20th. There are slots still available for that day and the 26th. Check your account if you are close. There was a new events calendar icon on the left nav area...
Do you know the location of the first mile drive? or is it a "they bring the truck to you" type of arrangement?

Weird I don't see this in my account, but I am still a year away from delivery, so that is likely why

They bring it to you and allow two "guests" in which you provide name and email.

Oh thanks, looks like I don't have the calendar in my account option, so my delivery window won't be close then. Appreciate the heads-up & hope you & +1 have a great experience.

My First Mile drive is also the 20th. Just got the invite. My brother-in-law got invited on March 24, with an April 12th drive date. (Not only did he place his preorder later than me, he's also getting an Explore/Max. So yeah, was a little annoyed that he got his First Mile drive invite/scheduled-date first.)

I would like to attend. I won’t be receiving my pre-order until October and I’m currently living in Washington but it’s only 2 hrs down the road and I’m trying to take any chance to see an R1T in person. Mainly trying to confirm my color choice (FG).

Hi, I was able to see some in person by swinging by the Portland staging facility. It isn't a public facing facility but they were kind enough to let me look at the trucks from the outside. Since they were being delivered to customers, I was not able to get in any but I was able to look in the window. It definitely changed my color choice (from blue to red - they didn't have Limestone or Yellow). Colors onsite will be dependent on what they are delivering.

Do they have a red again? I stoped in about 10 days ago and the red they had just got delivered. I really want to see a red one IRL.

I just looked at my account page, and hurray! there was the little calendar icon on the left. I immediately clicked it and there was just 1 day left with times available, right in the middle of the 2 weeks I'll be in Europe. :mad:

I'm leaving 4-21 and returning 5-7

Not sure, I must have got there just before they delivered the red one, there was only one red, maybe two blue. Pretty sure I was there early on April 27th.

thank you for setting this up, excited to see the vehicles in person, I will be a "maybe" as needing to run some dad duties.

Any info on when this event will end?
Sorry I didn't respond earlier. Friends call me "The Thing that wouldn't leave!", so I'll likely be there until they close at 11:00.

Hope your Dad is doing well and that you can make it.

Be well!

Can we get a shout for each color R1T that will be represented at this gathering? I'm looking forward to seeing the Rivian Blue (since that's the one I currently have configured), but happy to see them all!

I don't think I will be able to make, but if someone can snap a pic of the Launch Green next to the El Cap, I would greatly appreciate it :) I'm having a hard time choosing a color, and since my wife has dibbsed Black for her R1S, my top two are El Cal and Launch Green

Confirmed in this thread are an El Cap Granite, a Rivian Blue, and a Launch Green. (Which are the three colors known to be delivered to Portland area owners so far.)

I don't see any Forest Green delivered to Portland on the delivered owners list, I'm really hoping to see one in person before I have to make the firm decision. (Here's hoping my First Mile Drive vehicle is Forest...)
