I'm taking delivery of a Lucid Air Dream Edition in April/May but am seriously considering also going forward with my Rivian R1S launch edition reservation (since Feb 2019).

Does anyone know whether/where/when Florida reservation holders will be able to see and sit in the vehicle before purchase? Miami was on the list of cities for a show tour, but Rivian has canceled the tour due to Covid-19. I've seen nothing further.

Lucid has already opened Design Studios in Miami and West Palm Beach, and I've been to both to check out and sit in cars at each. I see Rivian doesn't yet have any Florida showrooms in their published plans.

Nothing official but it has to be soon!! They are currently hiring a Service Manager in Miami. Speculation has it that there is going to be a Retail location in Miami, but NOTHING concrete from RIvian as of yet...

Orlando area. Put a reservation down on a Limestone R1T two days ago. But might switch to the R1S. And might switch color. And wheels. And trim. Argh, I can't decide, just know I want one! Obviously, missed launch edition but happy to wait a bit for any wrinkles to be ironed out. Can't wait to see one in the flesh. Excited.

How do I get/add a PCola tag to the thread? Just trying to represent us over here in the central time zone :)

Here is the current map of Electrify America locations. It looks very similar in terms of distribution to a Tesla supercharger map.

Florida has a heavy concentration of charging stations, which tracks the fact that Florida has a high concentration of EV owners -- fourth among all the states, with the highest growth rate in EV penetration.

Also, Florida ranks 3rd among the 50 states in the number of registered pickup trucks. When it comes to SUV registration by state, I can't find those numbers, but Naples, FL is 8th on the list of percentage of SUV registration by city. (The first seven cities are in Colorado, Texas, Georgia, and South Carolina.)

These indicia would suggest Florida is a very lucrative potential market for Rivian. I'm perplexed as to why Rivian did not include Florida on its list of showrooms to open first. The first two Design Studios Lucid Motors opened outside of California were in Florida, and they are getting heavy traffic.
