    Saw this on Instagram yesterday. Nothing official from Rivian and the show’s website makes no mention of Rivian, so who knows if it’s vaild or not. I’m going to try and make it if it’s true.

    **edit** I can’t figure out how to attach a picture from an iPad, so I’m posting the website and the translation.

    That picture is just a standard Rivian publicity photo/render for the R1S. It's been posted in older Rivian threads on the InsideEVs Forum, but here it is again:

    Yeah, I know that one is straight from the Rivian website, but I had taken a screenshot of the Instagram picture and couldn't attach it to my thread. It basically said, "See you at NYIAS 2019!" with the picture you attached.
