The person I asked didnā€™t really know because I got the kit that goes into the passenger door not knowing this would be there. The air tool kit fits perfectly in the other door.
Thatā€™s why I was wondering, if thereā€˜s a standard DIN first aid kit then I might forego the field kit. Although the field kit is pretty neatā€¦
speaking of, did you get to see the larger field kit?

This is awesome, congrats! So happy you got to experience this today. Did you get to listen to the Meridian sound system and get to drive it?
Sounds system was great! My daughter and I played around with it a bit. The Spotify interface was very easy and it sounded great with some Motley Crue!

There was no LG truck between 2-4 today, but they did have a sample panel and it looks great. The employees I spoke to said that it looks even better as a whole. I have to say, the blue looks amazingā€”I think I will stick with LG, but I definitely waffled today

That looks so GOOD! My photoshopped, R1S based off an R1T LG inside seems to be very close. I can't wait to get my invite to drive in Los Angeles, and delivery of my R1S. Come on #2021 let's get it done!

Any feedback on the tailgate? Is it loooonger than what you expected? I'm concerned about having to reach over it to get into the bed considering the 180 degree version has been scrapped.

Just made it home. Rivian did a fantastic job with the event. All outdoors with at least 3 R1T's that you could climb in and mess around with. I think the UI was still early but we could play with the sound system and change the drive modes. Very seamless and smooth!

@DuckTruck you are right "permagrin" time, will see how long it lasts. I imagine at least a week if not longer.

RJ and family were around as well. Great to see them mingling. I was able to talk to him and of course as we all have heard, a very down to earth and great guy.
Sounds like they had "media" there all morning. In total about 150 visitors today which they said was about average given covid restrictions. Some great pics are being posted. I will add some when I can.

Just curious, any Limestone samples?
You mean the all illusive limestone? Here it is! Looked great in person but nothing beats Rivian blue for me.

It would be great to have a measurement. I'm worried about towing a trailer with the longer tailgate.
