Sorry, just to confirm as I'm relatively new here, these are L2 chargers?

yes a level 3 or fast charger uses the two lower holes for the DC fast charging. The plug and the charging unit is much bigger.

An L2 "charger" is really only a contactor plus some support electronics. The actual charger is in the car. The smallest (40 - 50 kW) L3 chargers are generally about this size. They contain the actual charger as well as the support electronics and contactor. Note also the fairly hefty stepdown transformer to the left of and behind the actual charger.

Hey! Iā€™m actually the big[ish] guy getting into the back seat (thanks for not calling me fat ?!)

Getting into the backseat was not that difficult all things considered. It was easier than getting into the front seat of most car to be honest. I ended up with about 2 inches of Knee room and plenty of Leg room. I actually found it road trip-able back there!

I then immediately jumped into the front seat without adjusting and also had enough room to tripā€¦and Iā€™m nearly 6ā€™3ā€.

Great truck! Fall ā€™20 reservtion holder So itā€˜ll probably be a while but Iā€™m really excited. This experience kept me from changing my build From Ocean Coast. Itā€™s a great color.
Welcome to the group! And thanks for posting your experience.

Bummed to have missed this event, possibly my only chance to see an R1T up-close and in-person before delivery. Wish it had been better marketed. Glad to see Rivian giving Tennessee some love. Anyone hear anything else about Nashville-area Rivian infrastructure? Seems like serviceability in an area is playing a big role in delivery timelines.
I heard rumor they bought property on Hillsboro Road (old car lot in North Franklin) 305 5th Ave N, Franklin, TN 37064. Maybe service/ fulfillment center?
