Our Rivian arrived on a flatbed (photo attached) from Miami, FL. It was a tough decision where to accept delivery - Colorado or Florida, but we have a home charger in FL so this was the deciding factor. My husband is hesitant to drive it due to all the technology, but I'm Rivian's ideal enduser, so I'm having FUN!! I will find any excuse to drive it --mail a letter, need more milk, you get the picture ;-) We will be taking it on a four-day road trip to CO in May so it will be interesting to see how the roadway charging affects our drive each day. I've heard horror stories of long charging times due to slow chargers, chargers that don't work and locations at full capacity. I hear there is an online group that offers their home charging stations to people on the road. Has anyone on this forum used this method? I look forward to reading more customer thoughts on this forum, but right now... I have to get more dog food

Congrats and welcome aboard! I would recommend for such trips you utilize apps from all the big charging companies as well as ABRP, (A Better Route Planner). This will allow you to see a lot of options along your route and give you alternate options. Charging on a L2 at someone's home is not ideal and you'll be there for hours (21mi/hr)... I have had great luck with the native options in our GPS as well as using my phone as a backup but overall you should be just fine! Cheers from Bonita Springs, btw!

Congratulations!
We have a large band of snow forecast for the eastern slope of Colorado tonight, so you made the right choice. 🙂
