A few updates from the past couple of weeks that might interest people.

Took some pics of Putco scanning the bed - that was pretty cool! Saw the 2nd red R1T in Ankeny last week. And saw the ISU solar car and then drove my Rivian through the crowded street at the state fair to many oogles and a few WTF's.

On another note, we should have a gathering around Des Moines soon. I'll be going to the Ames EcoFair in October. Anyone know of any other good events around the metro that would be good to meet up for?

Awesome!

I saw one of you (red ones) on 36th St a week or so ago. Getting on I35 heading south.

So I got to work on my broken tonneau cover. Just did some pushing and pulling on the panels to get them lined up even again and fully pulled into the open position where I was happy that at least it doesn't look broken. I pushed the button to close it after that and the thing fully closed just fine. I'm sure it'll break again, but at least I know with someone pushing the button for me while I line things up it can be functional again, at least for a while.
Mine is broken and stuck with one panel out. Any special trick to get it fully "open" with all panels hidden?

So I had the wife push the open/close button for me repeatedly while I was in the bed pushing/pulling the panels to get them lined up again so they're straight across as opposed to angled. Once I got them lined up, I was able to get the cover to pull all the way in to the open position. Then, for whatever reason the cover linked itself back together and would close/open as normal. ?‍♂

I lose a mile or two overnight. Sometimes a whole % point. Nothing too crazy.

Someone in a Launch Green R1T just saw me at the Ankeny charger, but I was on the phone so I couldn't get out to say hi. I also saw a Compass Yellow this morning in Des Moines.

I think there's at least 10 of us around Des Moines. I've seen 2 red, 2 blue, 2 white, 1 El Cap, 1 Black, 1 yellow, maybe 2 Launch Green?

Count me as one of those blues. I'm on the south side of Ankeny, I've seen a white one driving around a few times. And @F1shSkier since we're friends.

It was me. Saw you were on the phone and felt like I was creeping enough.

Love the canyon red. It was my original color before getting one from the R1 shop.
