Hi all,

With LE deliveries starting to firm up for 2022 and other models hopefully close behind, it is increasingly looking as if this time next year will see the first and increasing number of R1T's and R1S's on the roads surrounding the Washington DC metro area. Given that, i'm wondering if there is interest in the formation of a regional owners club? It could provide value and connection for all owners in the area to share our early experiences for taking delivery, service tips and others. And think of the photo opportunity with a DC area backdrop when we reach critical mass of vehicles!!

I'd be happy to organize the start up and help launch it if there is interest. I'm thinking in general any owners within ~ 1 hour or so of Washington DC across DC, MD and VA as membership. If you are interested respond to this thread or contact me at [email protected]

There's already one spotted in Arlington, VA.

I'll let you know when I get my R1S LE in "July-September"

Hmm..thanks Brandon. I called yesterday to adjust configuration and check on delivery of R1S Adventure, which I was on cusp of cancelling prior to rapid and welcome reversal of price hike. Was informed of delivery date of "first half of 2023". Of note, the Rivian CS referred to the aftermath of March 01 price hike as a "bad dream". I couldn't agree more, he sounded shell shocked.

Just an FYI, I have been in talks with Scott aka RivianDad (Youtuber) and Jazzy Jeff from NY about creating a Mid Atlantic logo that is along the lines of the several others that Scott has made for a nice clean look. We are also trying to define where the Mid Atlantic boundaries are since NJ is typically a split N/S...

While technically not Mid-Atlantic, I'd love to do a group meet up on the OBX in the off season...plenty of sand driving and adventure trips to be had. Problem is it's a CCS desert down there. I'm working with a rental Co to see if the could start adding L2 charger details to their rental listings...that way BEV owners can find houses with l2 chargers at them.

I was just in Carova a couple of weeks ago. I actually saw another R1T by the Currituck lighthouse, and I have only seen 5 total on the road. I have been out on the beach in the OBX and Cape Henlopen, DE and it handles great in the sand. The charging situation is rough (but doable), but you get 1 mph plugged into 110v at the house!
