The latest effort to move inventory.... I haven't seen any R1S/T with temporary paper plate in a long time. I hope the sales have not clasped. There is a huge gap between now and R2 delivery.

"- you’re invited to take an overnight demo drive in a Gen 2 R1S or R1T to try out our latest features and technology. This special opportunity is only available until the end of June, so please book your drive as soon as possible to reserve your spot.

All you have to do is let us know what day you’d prefer and what you’d like to try, and we’ll match you with a Gen 2 R1S or R1T that’s available at our Irvine Space for your overnight demo drive."

I think this is great, no matter the inventory reality (i.e., if sales have indeed collapsed).

People who are new to EVs and such a tech-forward platform (like Rivian) need more time than a 30-minute demo can provide. Take one home, see how it feels in the driveway, drive it to dinner, and wake up having gotten to know it and feel more comfortable in a new space that could become your lived reality.

Love it. Nothing but a win from my perspective. Great move, Rivian Sales.

Really good idea. Same here - haven’t seen any newly purchased Rivians in the Bay Area in maybe 2 months. Need to get cars moving.

I‘m still seeing temporary plates on Rivians here in CO when I go out, but this is a great idea regardless.

We had a Rivian space open up in the north suburbs here (Chicago area) last Fall I think. The city space had been open forever, maybe since the release, and it was only about 10 miles away. But sales boomed in my area after the local opening.

On the one hand, I expect there are many markets that might still see similar increases. On the other, I do wonder how quickly a local market peaks, then reaches saturation.
