I only care about seeing one in my driveway.

I agree. I want to see it because I am gen-pop.

Other- It is proof Rivian is capable of manufacturing a product and sell it in the marketplace…that’s next and most important milestone. Employee beta testers are ‘sales’ that shouldn’t count the same as true customer deliveries…

Other:I just want to hear from people that use it as a daily for what they like, were surprised they would like, or do not like. This is super subjective information and what bothers one might not even be noticed by another, but still, it could have some good info in a long-term review like that.

My primary concern is fit and finish, especially with the seats. I'm concerned about the Vegan leather holding up, and I'm concerned about color transfer on the Ocean Coast specifically. Significant color transfer is probably the #1 factor that would cause me to spring for FE over OC. That kind of understanding only comes with long term use though.

Exactly. I picked “quality” but I also want to see them in Joe Schmoe driveways because it will mean they’re actually making production vehicles for real, not just super late stage beta testers.

Other:
The more in the 'wild', the more the general public will become aware of Rivian and increase sales potential such that we don't end up with another Fisker Karma.

missing the 'because that's one more gas guzzling co2 spewing truck off the road'

I just want them to be successful, and more model sizes come out. My 12 year old would love a jeep wrangler sized/styled one.

I want to see people fill the 2nd (and 3rd in the R1S) rows with full sized rear-facing carseats.

Does the driver have to scoot their seat forward when there is a rear facing carseat behind? And is there actually room for 3 full sized seats in the 2nd row? Can you access the 3rd row when there are 2 or 3 carseats in the 2nd row?

Environment. I'd like to see more Rivians in the wild because that generally means fewer ICE vehicle on the road.

Every one delivered is one less ahead of me.

YES. That's exactly who AmbosRivian is on instagram, a Beta Tester that everyone thinks is an actual customer delivery.

I think it's both. I care less about his precise status - I'd bet he's paying the going employee rate, which is close enough to a customer in my book - and more whether he's acting as a beta tester. We are what, 2 weeks from the first deliveries with no signs of deliveries to average joe customers? That is not a sign they are out of beta testing.
