They should make sure there is a test driving event no more than 100-150 miles of everyone who has paid a deposit and has made a reservation.

My read of the job description is that the listed cities are just where the tours will be based from. They will be expected to travel up to 100% of their time, 4-6 days a week. “Tours”, IMO mean they will bring the vehicles to a location close to everyone eventually. 🤞🏽 I’m thinking the tour stops will be announced once they have the teams setup and trained. And, I’m hoping they have vehicles in all ten colors for people to see firsthand, so they can feel confident and comfortable finalizing their pre-orders! 😉

We're kicking off our drive program in August — we can’t wait for you to get behind the wheel to experience the performance and handling of driving a Rivian. The first cities we’ll visit include Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, Chicago, Detroit and Seattle, with more announced soon.

Our drive program includes two types of experiences — at-home drives and tour events. For our at-home drives, simply schedule the date and time that’s most convenient, and we will bring the vehicle to you. You can choose an in-depth walkaround by one our team members or opt for a self-guided tour.

Rivian tour events are not only a great way to experience our vehicles, but an opportunity to meet fellow Rivian preorder holders as well. In addition to driving an R1, you can see our paint selections and interior choices in person while getting an up-close feel for our build quality and attention to detail. Our team will also be there to give demonstrations on everything from how features work and charging at home, to what you can expect during the ordering process.

Due to anticipated demand, we will prioritize preorder holders for our drive experiences. Look for more details in advance, including exact launch dates, our Covid-19 protocols and how we’ll handle reservations.
