Did it have the black 20” AT?
There was definitely one black in the lot. Can’t recall if it had 20s but almost all of them did. The one exception was the Rivian blue, which had 21s.

There were also a couple inside. I didn’t get a great look at those, but it’s possible there was another black there as well.

Two different R1T sightings this week by friends and family, but I've still yet to seem one myself! First up is a nice Rivian Blue R1T at the Mansfield Municipal Airport. The second is a R1T at Craft Detailing in Dedham where my buddy in the Blue GMC was getting paint protection applied.

Definitely feels more "real" getting texts from friends and family about their sightings! Hopefully I'll get to see one myself someday before delivery ?

I went to Chelsea to see the trucks with my own eyes. There were no Compass Yellow trucks there at the time (I’m told there’s one there now). I took a photo next to a Forest Green truck, for size to show my wife. While I was enthralled to see them for the first time, my only take away from the photo is that I’ve gained weight and have lost a lot of hair.

For reference, I’m 5’9” and the photo is from the perspective of my four-year-old daughter who is shockingly adapted at operating my phone.

Funny, the way the photo is shot makes you look like you are towering over the truck when in real life it is a good foot or more taller than you (I know this because I am also 5'9" and was there yesterday sizing it up). Maybe you can blame the optics for the weight and hair...?

I think this truck was in its lowest stance. So, in addition to Peter-Jackson-esque optical illusion, it looked small.

It sounds like we have a lot of weekend commuters from Boston to VT. Has anyone evaluated registering their R1T in VT vs Mass?
I assume I can't unless I'm a full time VT resident? I'm sure insurance would be cheaper for one thing

Same here. Our primary residence is in MA so I assume that prevents me from registering in VT - but I admit I don’t know this for sure. Our current cars are registered in MA so our insurance carrier would probably question it as well. No doubt it would be cheaper in VT though. Most things are.

If your vehicle is in MA for 90 days it must be registered in MA. I learned this the hard way.

Good to know. We have several friends who switched one car to VT green plates during 2020 so they took less flack from people for coming up to their homes/condos during the most restrictive parts of the pandemic. I’d also bet the local MA police would notice your R1T around town to enforce that 90 day rule. Not exactly a vehicle you can fly under the radar.
