This isn’t for test drives
It’s for the block parties

I saw reported somewhere that a News reviewer mentioned customer deliveries starting on May 4th.

This official announcement says nothing about test drives in June. In fact it says “ While we aren’t hitting the road for demo drives just yet, we’re ready to chat about your next great adventure. ”

To help everyone out, I increased the font size to show where Rivian included that in their social media post. Please check the main post again. :)

Not big enough yet, I can't read it from 20,000 feet.

Those have already started, the first one was last week in LA. It specifically states "Drives starting in June"
Correct
I should have stated that the link is for the block parties only and does not include test drives or any info for test drives
The social media post is the only place I was able to find concerning test drives

We’re in Alexandria. We had a mobile service last week and I asked the techs about the R2. They told me neither Gaithersburg nor Sterling has seen one yet. These mobile techs were out of Gaithersburg. They also told me the regional service center manager was supposed to get one this week, but then has to drive it around to show it to all of the service centers in the region. (From Richmond To Philly)

I asked if the service center were ready for the R2 and they kinda laughed at the question. Gaithersburg is lending Sterling techs since they can’t keep up. It does not sound like they have enough capacity for thousands of R2’s, but we shall see.

You are 100% correct in everything you said (I've been talking to everyone in the area the past few weeks).
