I hadn’t even considered I wouldn’t have my truck, figured my knee would be the obstacle but they took my truck on Saturday for a long list of issues, mostly nitpicking on my part. Fingers crossed I get it back before Friday.
Was this long list posted on another thread? I'm curious as to what your nitpicks are.

Probably posted elsewhere but to recap:

Trim misalignment passenger back door
Trim misalignment driver back door
Driver door misalignment
Charger door misalignment
Paint defect on the tailgate
Large gap in tonneau cover gasket
Sticky spare hatch door that also doesn’t like to close

Non nit picky items:

Bad cross bar
Missing wristband key
Diagnostic for ‘unplug and try again‘ message when trying to DC fast charge
Repair of rock damage on the bottom

Do you know what is delaying completion on your service ticket? Parts?

@DuckTruck, we'll be in attendance! Thanks for bringing the community together again at Fido's! Our Uncle Larry will be joining us, too—he has aspirations to be the first logger in Oregon with a R1T/electric truck. Larry has yet to see a R1T in-person! Super exciting!
I'll take Larry for a ride around the area. He can become the first logger in the history of Oregon to be medically-confirmed as having a case of PermaGrin! 😁

Well...let's just say one of those door gaskets is taking a really long time to get here...I'll be posting in a future dedicated thread but my initial quote from HQ was 16 hours. Service Center quoted 4 days...what I didn't realize was it was 4 days + body shop...and now it's over 4 days, missing a gasket, and hasn't made it to body shop for paint and chipping problems yet. And I guess I added more to the list by complaining about wind noise that just magically appeared the day I was taking the truck in. 🙃

Whether your truck is back or not, I hope you can make it. We have plenty of Rivians, but only one jjswan. I'm looking forward to hearing about your recent trip. I think you're the first Riviot I've heard about making the pilgrimage to Southern Utah. You're "The Man From Moab!"

I hope your knee allows you to join us, along with your dog. I mean, that's what Fido's is all about. That might be a handful, but I hope you can be there with us!

If not this time, sometime SOON! 😁

I still got my camper van so I at least have wheels, not quite as flashy as my R1T but it definitely garners some attention... now if I could only upfit it with four electric motors and at least a 20X larger battery pack! 😁

Looking forward to seeing everyone again - thanks for organizing! We'll be there with my R1S photo rendering from the website. Two humans confirmed, one canine tentative.
I hope I read that correctly. Are you really bringing a R1S?? 👀🤩

Hey everyone! I’m looking forward to seeing all of you again for the second gathering. It will be fun to see how many new Rivians were delivered since our last gathering. See you there!

I plan to be there will bring the good camera this time. As always, my offer stands to valet any R1’s that make it.

Though I was initially a "maybe" this go-round, alas I will be AWOL due to some business travel proximities that weekend.

For those able to make it, it's definitely worth the drive, whether it be 3 minutes or 3 hours away! Not only will you bear witness to a fine group of vehicles:
Rivian R1T R1S Northwest Rivian Roundup on Friday, May 13th what a lineu


...and an even finer group of folk:
Rivian R1T R1S Northwest Rivian Roundup on Friday, May 13th Happy folk


...but you can sneak inside to read some fantastic stories of heroic dogs saving lives and such:

Cars, people and dogs - quite a beautiful trifecta if you ask me :D I'll toast all of you from afar with wishes of happy travels and great adventures!
