Hey my H-town peeps! We had a great first meet up a few months ago. Three R1T owners came out and gave most of us our first look in person of a R1T. Thanks again to @jimaws, @Dreamwater, and @Voronbrg. I am hoping that we get more trucks out this time since there have been a lot more deliveries in the area.

I am open to suggestions for where we should meet up. Last time, we were in the parking lot at Memorial City Mall and we almost got kicked out by security, so not Memorial City Mall this time.

My recommendation is MKT Heights at 9am. Wherever we do decide to go, I will make sure this time that it is OK for us to gather there.

When: Saturday, June 25th
Where: MKT Heights. https://www.themkt.com/
Address: 600 N Shepherd Drive
Houston, TX 77007
Time: 9:00am

Attendees:
@Dreamwater (truck)
@zen313 (truck)
@Longhorngirl
@KyleJJ06 TBD
@BuzzL8ghtYears TBD (truck)
@BrayBay
@valenrandy
@Voronbrg (truck)

Pic from first meet up. Let me know where y’all would like to meet up this time.

Date and time work for me and definitely more to share after 3 months of living with the truck.

Yup, I'm down to meet! MKT heights works. There's usually plenty of open parking near the office side.
Looking forward to get your thoughts on tinting the roof and how hot it gets once you get it done. It has been sooooo hot lately.

Agree. Parking near the office side makes sense.

Any more of y’all interested? If so, please reply so I can get a head count.

For those not familiar with MKT Heights, it is a shopping center with retail, office, and dining. There are a couple of free Chargepoint chargers in the parking lot.

Its been really hot lately. Even though we are meeting up at 9am, it is still going to be hot. There are a few places where you can grab a drink. La La Land Cafe has really interesting latte flavors.

I'm in H Town (well Beaumont) for work currently but I'll be gone by the 25th unfortunately. I might swing by the service center while I'm here though to see if I can check out FG/FE in person.

Good luck. I have seen forest green in person and it looks really good. If I were getting forest green, I would get forest edge interior. They just seem like they would go together.

Don't have a Rivian yet, but I definitely would like to meet up at the Heights and get to see one up close in person! I missed the last announcement for the Memorial City mall Meetup, so I'm glad I caught this one.

Father and I enjoyed the first meetup and the owners were helpful with answering all of our questions. Count me in to attend this one too! Really hoping to see a Limestone or Red colored one!

May try and join, depending on schedule. I am in Houston and have a launch green that I could bring.

Just a heads up, I was contacted by a member from the NRG Energy EV research department (a neighbor sent them a pic), and so I invited them to the meet up. They will be there for research purposes on user charging habits, etc. Should be interesting.

I have circled in red where we will be in the parking lot. This part of the parking lot should be empty as this is office parking. I will try to be there early and will be in a silver Highlander. See y’all next Saturday the 25th!

FYI. Please feel free to share with others that may be interested.
