Note the words “test drives.” Eh?
Only matters, at least for me, if Rivian will be there, and if so will they be offering test drives. Unless things change it doesn't look like that will happen as Rivian's website still has in the FAQ section "We’ll be offering test drives closer to our launch at the end of 2020." Here's hoping that changes to an earlier time frame.

Update: Doh, that's embarrassing. I didn't notice in the picture that Robert is actually leaning on the R1T. Hopefully Rivian will be providing test drives. Can't imagine how long of a line that will be to do that.

They have confirmed that Rivian plans to be there with the R1T and R1S. Yes, I’m guessing it’ll be a display opportunity only.

Actually doubting Rivian will be there at all, despite the (photoshopped?) picture. Rivian has announced their next show appearance, just not when ('sometime next year').

Fully Charged has confirmed Rivian’s appearance at its live show in Austin.

Rivian doesn't seem to be doing a very good job of keeping us up-to-date. Unless it's all on Instagram, which I don't use (so I don't know what's there). They said their next appearance would be San Francisco. Why isn't Rivian the authoritative source for this stuff?

2023 Rivian R1S
The Austin event isn't until February and it also isn't a Rivian hosted event, they will be just one of many electric vehicles represented. Even though a date has not been announced for San Francisco, I highly suspect it will be before the end of 2019 which means it would be their next appearance. I am hoping for, and won't be surprised if they do, hold a separate event in Austin for reservation holders. I would much rather attend that than the Fully Charged event.

I think it will be cool to see & learn about much more than just Rivian @ Fully Charged, so I'm really looking forward to it. I'm a tech & engineering nerd, so I'll enjoy it all.

I'm also hoping it might be the first opportunity for Rivian test drives, but we'll see.

They are. If you are a pre-order holder you should receive an email from Rivian about these "private" (pre-order holder) events. E.g., back in August I received the following email:

Rivian R1T R1S R1T appearances (auto shows etc) allery.mailchimp.com%2F9792d9e7c99343a3b56686104%2Fimages%2Fffbeeec3-e239-453e-9778-56d1d4ea8fa0


So far Rivian has followed up with separate emails that included the Atlanta and Seattle dates. No word on the SF date yet but when I asked a Rivian rep at the Normal event last week he said probably late November or early December. My issue is Rivian doesn't give much lead time before the event making it harder for those who are not local to make travel arrangements, take off work, etc.

Since the Fully Charged LIVE event in Austin Texas next February 2020 will have ">50 electric vehicles" which includes Rivian, and that there will also be test drives available, I had to ask a Rivian rep about this also. He confirmed Rivian will be there but will not be offering test drives. As the above email excerpt indicates Rivian will have additional events in store for 2020. So I suspect as we get closer to the Fully Charged LIVE event in February, I'm expecting Rivian will announce (email? social media?) they will be attending the event.

Even though the OP indicates "R1T" the following updates, with exception of the CES event, are for both the R1T and R1S. Rivian has just announced via email some early 2020 event dates.

Rivian will attend the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas on January 7-10, 2020.

Rivian has confirmed the San Francisco event date. See the following threads:

Rivian will attend the Fully Charged LIVE event in Austin, TX on February 1-2, 2020.

And again, the R1T and R1S will be only available for viewing.

It would be great if the order configurator was available for the CES show. I would envision lots of preorders and hype from folks who already preordered. :)
