Noticed Rivian posting updates from its R2 prototype's Route 66 road trip. For those who don't check social media, here's their updates.

I wish they’d publish the itinerary so those interested could coordinate RAN visits and see it out on the road.

I love road tripping and I am dying to test drive an R2 -- my envy is palpable.

Where are they posting? I checked their Instagram but didn’t see any of this.

Santa Monica Peer is one end, but I don't know the other... Is there a map showing the DCFC chargers on that route? If needed, detours to chargers with options.
Also a list of places to visit Rivian owners that will allow charging at their homes? B&B? or atleast a visit meal and meet...

Chicago is the other end.

Would have been cool if that video of the trees had someone dressed in a Gary costume. (Bigfoot sighting, lol)
