Phone charger didn't work for me, but employees said it worked earlier.
Since it's magsafe, it's a lot more picky about phone position than the R1 charger. I'm used to pushing my phone back against the center console, had to move my phone maybe a half inch forward to get it to snap onto the magsafe before it started working.

Good to know. I have Android, so no mag safe, but wireless charging should work regardless... Although I've never tried using a mag safe charger on my phone now that I think about it

yeah, I bought a mag-safe case for my android this time around. I knew this was coming and might be an issue.

Holy shit! That thing MOVES! What a thrill to whip around LA for the short time I had in it. I’ll likely book another demo drive.

There was no frenzy at the Venice, CA location. I got to sit in the demo car after the drive for as long as I wanted. I hear El Segundo was a mad house though.

Got to be the first one to test it out in Burbank. The interior is fantastic, the ride was great. I'm in love, for sure.

Noon and 1pm were available for tomorrow closest to me, I can't make either of those, then they were filled about 5 minutes later. Scheduler only showed tomorrow. I'm available Friday and Saturday so I guess I'll check back.

I could not get into Tysons. Or Gaithersburg or Glen Burnie.
All booked. Was at the Sterling service center today with our R1. DC area doesn’t have too many R2’s to demo.

Drove by the Fort Myers FL service center, appeared to have 3 out front (white, grey, launch green) and an Esker silver in the back.

Hoping to head back soon for a test drive.

Rivian rep walked me out to the R2 and walked me through some quick setup (seat position, mirrors, steering wheel, etc) then said here's a route you can take (set as home/work locations in the UI), but if you're familiar with the area feel free to explore and we'll see you back in a half hour.
Ditto.
