Risk Assessment - R2 road trip to Western NC shortly after delivery

I live in South Florida and just got my order invite. Day one reservation holder and super excited. Do not own an R1 nor do I lease. Planning to finalize my order this week.

I'm contemplating taking a two-week road trip to Western North Carolina in mid-December. As a native Floridian I have little to no experience driving in snow/ice. I assume the weather is generally pretty mild in Western NC (been many times before but not in winter). I'll be staying mostly in the Nantahala area but may bounce around a couple towns while there. I'll be doing some hiking, but no off-roading or anything that adventurous.

Would this be a terrible idea with a new R2? It seems the nearest service center is in Duncan, SC if I run into any issues. I'm a little more concerned about car issues since the R2 is still new and production issues are probably more common.

Hopefully I get a solid few weeks to identify any issues before the trip, but just figured I'd ask the community here.

▲ 1 r/Lutron

Will any Lutron shade fit a 10 7/8" W x 94" H x 3" D sidelite window next to front door?

Wondering if anything would work for my sidelite window next to front door. It's very narrow.

Exact dimensions: 10 7/8" W x 94" H x 3" D

Preferably something RadioRa3 compatible, but I'll take anything I can automate.

Production Standard Model in Esker Silver Spotted?

Was looking at this video that dropped today and it looks to be Esker Silver on the standard model config at 13:03

https://youtu.be/ONMrc3OPVFg?si=i3uCIJrFbNTFR2qZ&t=783

I know some people are tired of these posts, but this is the first standard model I've seen with the production wheels and what appears to be the first Esker Silver appearance.

Cannot confirm if it's Esker Silver or Half Moon Grey, but seems very likely to be Esker. Thoughts?

Will it be easy to black out the 3D Rivian emblem on the back of the R2?

Never blacked out anything, but wondering if it would be relatively easy to do on the R2? Ideally both the 3D emblem on the back and small R2 emblem on the back left bottom. Did the R1 get a lot of 3rd party products for this?
