I got a text from a cop buddy of mine saying there was an R1T in a local parking lot. I have a set of rails and a tent for a truck that I had never seen in person, so I jumped on my bike and went up to see this LE-LG/BM with 20" and the off road pkg. There were all sorts of people taking pictures of it. I waited until the couple came out of the store. They were employees of Rivian, had it for several months, and had about 3,500mi on the truck. my takeaways;
The color, in full sun, will pick up the very fine gold tint and it is more army green. He said in shade it will appear more grey.
The rear cover stacks behind the rear seat and it has a drain on both side to expel any water/snow that would get past the outside wiper.
It was at 13" and still was easy to enter in the parking lot.
The low speed noise was very unobtrusive. The chirp was a nice touch.
For those people who are in PA, they will be delivering from outside the state depending on location, like Maryland, NY, or Ohio.
Fit and finish very nice.
He said they were on their fourth OTA update and that the systems just keep getting better.

R1S Launch Edition
We were out walking the dog this afternoon in the neighborhood and outta nowhere I saw a Launch Green R1T cruising by on residential streets! Recognized it right away (told the wifey "omg that's a Rivian! a Rivian!!"). The pup was sensing my excitement and was on high alert? . Thought I'd anticipate where it was headed (Coffeeholic, the best Vietnamese coffee in Seattle) and walked towards there. Lo and behold, the vehicle was parked about half a block away.

Handed the dog off and started jogging towards the vehicle. Approached the two guys standing around it and discovered that they were Rivian employees just wrapping up a day of Mobile Drives! I thought those were done, but apparently they've started them back up? Good to know :).

Anyway, they were kind enough to let me walk around, take photos, even sit inside. I concur with prior impressions of the interior being premium without feeling luxury. The vehicle was in standard height mode and at 5'11" I found it pretty easy to get in and out (although I was so excited I might have unknowingly jumped up into it and thought nothing of it).

I also found the frunk access to be really easy. Had a discussion with them about how I was concerned about that and would have preferred the opening style of the Lightning, but it didn't feel very difficult at all to raise and lower things into the frunk even at standard height. The fit and finish was also good, did not notice any blatant panel gaps.

I found Launch Green to be pretty muted under Seattle's overcast skies. Definitely looks more gray from afar, but the green starts to show up once you get closer. I took a few shots as it drove away to give you guys a sense of that. There isn't any metal flaking to the paint either, although there is a gloss finish so it shines beautifully. Personally it is giving me some pause - I think I want to see Forest Green before making my final choice.

All phots uploaded except one video which is too large. Boo hoo. Enjoy!

The 22s look nice. I have them configured on my LG R1S. Nice to see the pair together here.

Pretty sure I'm in for Launch Green even though I haven't seen it in person yet. That said, I love the satin protective films that are on Range Rovers. Anyone planning on applying a satin film (like Xpel Stealth)? What does everyone think about how that would look on LG or any other color offerings for that matter?

Happy to report my launch green R1T arrived yesterday! Now happily picking up kids in a much sweeter ride.

The truck is amazing. I’ve never been happier to drive to work in my life.

Glad to answer any questions. The delivery process was super smooth. The only issue I ran into was accessory availability. Per my guide, the all weather mats, tent and crossbars aren’t currently available, at least not in SoCal. To be honest, I can wait a couple of weeks, after waiting over three years for the truck!

We were close enough and lucky enough to take factory delivery today of my Launch Green LE R1T. Been a long time lurker(11/26/2018 reservation) not wanting to get too excited until it happened but today it did!

Great team at the factory today and great experience. Saw the factory floor and what they thought were some new colors they had not seen yet Compass Yellow and the Red(but it looked more orange to me).

After talking a look at the factory then took a R1T ride to the delivery center around back and mine was inside. Simple paper work and they finish the process on your phone to activate the keys. Took a walk around the vehicle with them in the delivery center and then a test drive. Fun times! Then got to to point it toward home and explore a bunch.

Drives very well. Also have the new software update which added a few things like birds eye view and it looked/functioned well.

This is a photoshopped blue R1S that funnily originated on our forums here. Who is Rivianolgy and why are they stealing our pics ?
