We split our time between Delco (Philly suburbs) and Jim Thorpe (Poconos). Have yet to see an EDV in either location. Given that there appears to be tons of them over the state lines in NJ & NY, I wonder if the Commonwealth's antiquated motor vehicle sales & service laws (direct not allowed, must be through a dealer) might be why.

Just adding to that datapoint, I've seen zero in and around the Lancaster/Hershey/Harrisburg and surrounding areas. Nor any anywhere along my commute thru York down to the Baltimore, MD area.

So yeah, at least as far as I can see, Pennsylvania isn't getting Rivian EDV love, and we have some pretty large-ish regional Amazon distribution centers nearby.

It looks like they're doing them in big batches by distribution center. So cities will go from zero to a huge number in a pretty short amount of time. Once they get around to your city.

I haven't seen them in Denver proper yet, but I've seen them in the north suburbs like Boulder and Lafayette. I've also seen one in Kansas City while traveling.

I'm hoping to see more EDV's (and EV's in general) in Colorado soon. We have some pretty horrific local air quality here, and cars are a pretty big contributor.

a 2/3 size variant of this marketed towards commercial and conversion would likely go gangbusters, but Rivian has too much on their plate currently.

It is because Rivian is prohibited from selling their EDV outside of Amazon for a few more years. They tried to renegotiate that earlier this year, and I think the date moved up a little bit but as of right now Rivian cannot sell EDVs to anyone but Amazon.

That’s because the 10,000th one is just a big flashlight on wheels.

Saw one in white bear lake, MN the day before Xmas.

In north Atlanta suburbs, I now routinely see packs of 5 or 6 of them heading west on US92 from around GA400 toward Cobb County. Haven't seen one deliver to my house yet, but there are more and more of them in these parts.
