Hello Rivian Owners, Reservation Holders and Fans!

On Friday, April 8th, we have a get together planned at Fido's Tap House/48th North Pizzeria in Tigard. The addess is 7700 SW Dartmouth St #110, Tigard, OR 97223. The businesses share the same space and have outdoor, and a tented table area outside, in addition to indoor seating. They sit in the N.W. corner of Walmart's parking lot, which is to the N.E. of Highway 217, between Hwy 99 to the West, and I-5 to the East. Of course, feel free to bring your spouse, significant other, or both. With plenty of beer and sharp eating utensils, what could go wrong? If contemplating bringing kids, I'd encourage you to call them 503-941-5757 to let them talk you out of that.

The far side of the lot includes an ElectrifyAmerica station With 15 CCS chargers (four 350's, eleven 150's) plus one CHAdeMO plug. At lunchtime today, all looked to be functional, none were in use, and there was no ICE'ing going on.

Fido's/48th North don't open until 3:00 P.M., and I'm guessing most folks will be there at 5:00 or shortly thereafter. That said, I plan to get there early (4'ish), you know, just to make sure the beer is cold and plentiful. The menu and other pics are attached here. Fido's does Growler fills, as well. Also, as the name implies, this is a pet-friendly establishment, so feel free to bring your dogs! FWIW, I'll be leaving my cats at home....

Please feel free to respond here, or message me to share your intent, as William (on the Pizzeria side) would like an inkling as to how many we might have. The pizza and tap house sit in the far corner of the parking lot from Walmart, to your right as you enter the lot using either driveway. William tells me we should have plenty of space to park any Rivians in one location, right outside the door.

As I've mentioned elsewhere, I'd love to have everyone's phone number for this and future events, including the OEVA EarthDay gathering in Wilsonville on Saturday the 23rd of April, starting at 10:00 in the morning (more elsewhere here, and to follow).

While we can head to more unique and fun properties in the future (one of McMenamins' locations, perhaps), I thought we'd start here to allow anyone in need of a charge to take advantage of ElectrifyAmerica's station and the proximity to the freeway.

Hope to hear from everyone soon!

(p.s. bring your Growlers to fill them, as Fido's has a great selection of brews!)

I'll definitely be there - just up the road from my house. Won't have my truck, but do have my test drive the next day.

Thanks for organizing, I will be there if I can. Will confirm in the next day or so. Probably 75% chance I can make it as of now.

Thanks for including me. I work that date and not sure if I’ll get out on time, so I’ll call it a “maybe”. If I dont make it, please keep me in the loop for the next one.

I should be able to make it. Looking forward to meeting everyone. I will bring my freshly PPF wrapped El Cap Granite R1T.
Very nice! I look forward to seeing that. I'll be there with my Rivian blue baby and my dog ;)

I will definitely be there. I get off work in Hillsboro any time I want after 1:30 on Fridays, so I will likely be there early.

I'm super excited to see a R1T in person, especially the LE green.

I'm still undecided on color. I was all set on LA silver, up until 3/1 when that became the only no cost paint choice. That will make it the default color for price conscious buyers. Just like Tesla white. When I see a semi load of them on I-5, 75% of the vehicles are white. I'd rather not have a truck the same color as 75% of the other R1 vehicles.

Amazing that you set this up, I would love to join but we will be in Hood River that weekend. I do get to join my neighbor on a test drive on Tuesday the 12th, looking forward to seeing the truck in person.

I expect to be there. Don't have anything to show off, but thankful to the early R1T owners who will share their good fortune with the rest of us!

I might bring my GF and her son (16) who helped me remove the pool from my garage and I promised him opportunity if/when/how I take delivery of my R1S. I will call the number and determine how appropriate.

I’ll be there. Longgggg time lurker, 1/21 reservation holder, and still haven’t seen a R1T in person. Will be a perfect appetizer to my test drive on Saturday. Thanks Duck for organizing and to all for sharing their new toys.
