My wife, brother and I attended First Mile event Sunday morning - we all came away impressed as it was much more than we expected.
My brother is a huge and technical car/truck fan - he came out of interest and came away blown away ready to order a Rivian when he had no plans to buy a new truck. I came away delighted I hold a long-term reservation although still no idea when. Bottom line, kudo's to Rivian - this was so much more of an experience with Rivian than it was a simple test drive. Can I get mine now please?
- About a dozen Rivian's present so you had a chance to see most colors (red not present, not yet seen by the Rivian employee I talked to)
- At Sears Point Raceway, expected to be on the racetrack but we were on dirt. Much more real 4WD testing that expected, some that had my wife wanting out. Also did a couple of 0-60 tests going uphill with encouragement from our Rivian driver - instructions were to stomp on it.
- We spent another hour plus wandering the mini-expo - about 5 different stations (charging, colors, camping, etc), most with their own R1T present, and lots of Rivian folks ready to help.
