Just got this email from Rivian for next Friday (01 October 2021). Not a reservation holder but been following since its original unveiling. I live only a couple hours from the factory.

Same here!

Gonna do the test drive on 09/30 (2:45p) and thorough check out of the vehicles on 10/01 (3p-5p).

Should be a good time.

Yes, R1T 11/27/18

Test drive I'm my buddy's +1 for the invite 09/30.

I got an invite to the vehicle hands on and am bringing a friend 10/01.

So I'll be a friends +1 and then my other friend will be my +1.... Karma ?

That's what my great grandfather would call, "Double dosin'." ;) After the frustration you went through, you desire an extra day. Maybe they'll really surprise you with your R1T ready to take home Oct. 1st. ?

I’m confused - Are there two different events? One is a test drive and the other is to just see the vehicles?

I'm legit. A few weeks ago their site had a sign up to "learn more" that I submitted. I just so happen to live really close to their Normal, IL plant. Invitation didn't explicitly mention driving it..?

When they first announced the R1T/R1S I wanted the R1S because I planned to have kids but couldn't afford the projected pricing at the time (gotta love USAF E4 salary). Many years later, I am in a much stronger financial situation (now private sector), but wife didn't wanna wait until 2022 for the R1S so we bought a Pacifica Hybrid.

That means I can get the R1T when the time comes. However there are other options that I can compare against (mostly the Lightning if I'm thinking truck) and the Audi eTron GT as I don't HAVE to have a truck.

Great that you were in the service and congrats for moving on to more finical security. I'm an R1T LE reservation holder 72 miles from Normal which didn't get an invite and was told by CS personally not happening for me anytime s00n. Have fun

That's so weird. I actually live farther than you do. Down in the greater St Louis area.

I apologize if this has been discussed in another thread. When will the at home/overnight test drive be available?

As much as I’d love an “overnight” test drive, I haven’t heard any plans for offering that. They said they’ll do at-home test drives, but they’re only 20-30 minutes.
