Um, yeah so all the windows have coverings now. Gonna see if I can go speak with a Service Manager to see how things are going. ?

Update- yep lot's closed off with a security guard posted at the door. Doh. ??

It was worth a shot. ?✌?⚡??

Yeah, my first attempt at a photo was on foot, and a security dude emerged as soon as I stopped on the sidewalk. Hence the (slightly blurry) drive-by photo haha

Hmmm....with a total strike out this weekend hoping to get some shots of RAN installs I kinda need this window shopping in my life right now. Maybe I'll take a little drive this afternoon. ? ?✌⚡??
Are there any hints of RAN chargers in washington state?

Yea. What would anybody at Rivian want to stop photos of the truck they want to sell from getting out.?

makes no sense.

Yeah, totally crazy. Not like security might be worried about someone scoping out vehicles to steal or anything. I mean, nobody outside of these forums even knows what a Rivian is.

Not to my knowledge. No I haven't looked up any permits through the department of licensing in a while. ?

Someone should go try to take a bunch of pictures in a semi-creepy way at night of a Porsche dealer. If security sees them, I bet they'd move you along as well for exactly the reason Electruck said. Shit, my neighborhood NextDoor is full of people who thinks someone is scoping out the area anytime a new car (probably UberEats) is lost after dark.

"OH no, a truck was driving down my block last night at 10 mph. anyone seen it before? I let the cops know!"

Which was hilarious to see when we moved out here from living in the middle of admittedly safe Seattle where Nextdoor was full of people worried about needles on the sidewalk, and ladies walking along Aurora and people *actually* stealing stuff all the time.

:party: ? :handsinair: So, with around 2 being made per day, it will still be months+ before we get ours. (#3146, LE, R1T, FE) Oh well. I'm probably turning in my Bolt on a GM buyback within the month. Sure hate to think of driving an ICE for 6+ months while waiting. Sigh...:crying:
Grab an ID.4 or mustang new and trade it in once your R1T shows up? So far My ID.4 seems to be holding value enough that I'm not losing much/any. It was a little tricky to keep it under the 45k so I saved some sales taxes in WA. That's harder with the Mach E.

Yea, I've looked at both of those and decided they just don't fit our needs for the price. The Bolt has been the perfect little runaround car. We're still struggling with the idea of driving the Riv into the "big city of Spokane" ? for our regular shopping trips. We have loved the anonymity of the Bolt and are not much for attracting attention, which I'm sure the Riv will generate a lot of at first. The most reasonable thing to do is let the Bolt go and just drive the Riv all the time, but I'll sure miss my little lightening Bolt. Bummer.

Oh we have lots of trucks...we're farmers. We also have two extra ICE cars that we need to get rid of as soon as the dust settles from the Riv purchase and Bolt recall. But, I hate driving anything other than an EV now. SPOILED!!

Oh snap. Can’t believe the covered it up. Guess all the gawking and loitering in person and online was too much for them. Let me add to that.

Headed to work this morning and happened to be in front of Bellevue Center and guess what I see? Two guys in the truck, maybe some training going on? Makes my heart happy to finally see one driving on our roads. Some of you will recognize the intersection where I took these. All happened so fast, the pics are not top quality.
