I got an invite but not sure what criteria I meet. Expressed interest on Rivian website a week after the experiences opened up, not even a pre-order holder here yet. Just happen to be within 200 miles of Normal and would like to see one in person. Looking at the invite though I don't see any mention of test drives and there is a note about anyone else coming. So has anyone got confirmation that you can bring a friend/spouse and they do not need to have an invite?

Children under the age of 18 are welcome to accompany you to this event. Guests that are 18 years of age and older must register separately.

Looks like times available to me are October 1st. Kind of on the fence if I cannot bring a +1 and possibly not even a test drive.

I would contact customer service. They have said that you can bring up to 2 additional people you just need to add them to the appointment. They should be able to assist you in getting this done if it is not obvious where they need to be added in.

If that’s the case, if anyone has free space left I would be happy to come! I’m getting crickets from CS and haven’t even seen a Rivian in person yet, probably like most here. Figured it’s worth a try asking ?

I'm genuinely excited for you that you get to attend, experience the R1T first hand, and hopefully reserve a vehicle, but I have to say (speaking for myself - maybe others don't feel this way?) that Rivian really isn't making their long-standing reservation holders happy with these types of moves.

Does anyone else who was invited personally know someone at Rivian?

Maybe a friends and family factor for the invites?

The closest relation I have to Rivian is the $1000 of mine they have and this forum. I don't think the reason I got invited is more than a random selection of people from a long list.

ok that kills that idea. It really must just be random selection of people within X miles from the plant.

Oh boy do I hope so but I haven't been reached out to by my guide so I doubt it. But a boy can dream!

Am I the only one thinking the Normal event they had a few weeks ago was the first test drive and that those people may have signed NDAs for initial scheduled deliveries?

Next Friday is the 1st of October, that is the only thing that really makes any sense to me unless they have already reached out to others that have signed NDAs

I wish we could opt in to a location event. I would go to Normal from CT just to attend.
