Another opportunity to check out the R1T pickup and talk to staff at the Overland Expo in Flagstaff, AZ on May 17-19th. Unfortunately it doesn't look like the R1S SUV will be there. From the email Rivian sent out:

Hmm, my post from late last night/early this morning is not here ... ( @King Admin ) ... though the forum website was acting a little flaky ... perhaps I got caught up in weekend overnight maintenance. At any rate...
@Ike thanks for providing the forum with the updates and sharing your pics!!
Too bad they (Rivian reps) didn't have any news of their test drive program.
At least there are no changes to the late 2020 launch target but I suspect they wouldn't say if there was. The reality is there is plenty of time for problems to pop up and delay the production launch.
That pullout kitchen is quite the setup. Awesome option and use of the gear tunnel. Wonder if Rivian will be offering it as an purchase option or via an aftermarket vendor. Either way I suspect it won't be cheap.
@Ike Glad to see someone from the forum will be able to attend. If you have the time and don't mind, maybe you can provide the forum with any updated info from Rivian. Like any updates or changes to either vehicle, future events they will be at, how's the manufacturing plant in Normal, IL coming along, will they be offering plant tours, additional info on the recent news of their test drive tour, updates to launch timeline other than late 2020, etc.
A couple of minor observations from watching YT videos. Driver display does not have a light shield above it like most other vehicles to help reduce glare, in addition someone had noticed the display is glossy and not matte. Another I heard (thought was pretty funny, albeit quite the eye for detail) where/how does one fill up the windshield washer fluid?

I'm looking forward to making the trek up the hill to see the Rivian in person!
