Any "March-April" delivery people contacted?

[SpinDoc7]

I’m in the same boat. Signed my PBA this Wednesday, and just twiddling my thumbs since then. But my Guide did say she was “feeling really good” about next week, so hey, there’s that!

At least you have a guide. March/April window (Jan. 2019) reservation and “zilch.”

@Lonkyoung congrats!! what’s your configuration?? Share a pic for those of us still waiting!

I’m in the March/April slot for an R1T and I’ve got nothing. ? no guide assigned, no direct contact, no pba. Rats. Still hopeful and excited for others here.

Exact same.

Me too. I am trying to stay optimistic and excited for everyone else's delivery, but seeing people in delivery windows later than March/April get their trucks with my same configuration is making it difficult. I went by the service center yesterday and they have a lot of trucks, sadly not one of them was mine.

For the insurance step, do I just take a picture of my state farm card for my other vehicle? It's asking for something with the Rivian vin # on it. Odd

It's kind

Has anyone that already signed their PBA gone onto the next steps yet? Seems like things got real quiet again.

Yes, moved from PBA to delivery over 2 weeks. [pre-order #1,924, VIN#1,712]

Shouldn't payment be required after delivery is arranged or scheduled? Paid for the vehicle on Wednesday and don't know when delivery will occur as, like many, are stuck on Step 7.
Maybe the first step should be Rivian reaches out and states your vehicle will be ready in x amount of days/weeks, start the process, and then once a delivery date has been finalized, with a week's notice, then that gives everyone more than enough time to secure financing and insurance.

Feels a bit clunky to pay/insure for a vehicle and not know when delivery will occur.

Crazy BofA makes wires so hard. I tried clicking through Plaid first, but got an error message that it was disabled during specific times of the day for Fidelity. Which, naturally, included the time of day I was trying to complete the transaction. I have no idea what that was all about...

Thankfully, Fidelity accepts wire instructions online. Took just a couple minutes to submit it all in the web form and click send, confirm -> PDF to upload. Wire went out within the hour.

How long did it take for the uploaded wire confirmation to be approved in Steps 5 and 7 after you sent the wire? We’re you able to schedule delivery while 5 & 7 were pending approval?

Just waiting for my credit union to print a check and send me a photo. Rivian requires it with a tracking #

Just uploading the wire confirmation allowed me to advance to scheduling. There was no waiting on the approval. We also uploaded our old insurance card because I wasn't going to request a policy change without a confirmed effective date. They did insist the day before delivery that I email updated proof of insurance though (some of the weirdness about insurance and plate protocols from a WA customer view point I realized are explained by it legally being an IL transaction).

I may be wrong, but my understanding is the payment is set up in advance but funds are not debited until delivery has been made.

When you get your insurance policy with Rivian's VIN# showing, maybe they'll accept that. Probably not, but worth a try.

I was originally going to use Plaid, but it didn't play well with Discover Banking. I ended up placing a Wire Transfer yesterday. My 8 Steps showed pending, but completed this morning. I'm just waiting to schedule a delivery. Step 8 isn't available as of yet.

I'd hoped once I fixed my upload oversight on wire transfer receipt from bank that "pending approval" would clear quickly. Hasn't yet. Leaves me at coming up on 48 hours since wire with $ MIA, it would seem. I have to believe they've hit RIvian's BofA account by now. They just haven't mapped that deposit to my order yet.

I'd think having clean step 7 is pre-req for step 8 unlock, even if not immediately as some are seeing after their cleared step 7.

did you have to complete step 7 first, still waiting on ACH

I was able to schedule the delivery date before completing Step 7, but the confirmation emailed mentioned:

"Keep in mind - you must complete the online purchase process in order to take delivery."

So you can complete Step 8 whenever it unlocks, but all Steps must be completed to actually take delivery

I may be wrong, but my understanding is the payment is set up in advance but funds are not debited until delivery has been made.

Via ACH the payment is absolutely 100% processed at time of Step 7 with a day to transition from pending to complete. $80K is no longer in my account and is no longer 'pending'......kinda odd to be hanging out like this with nothing more than it shouldn't be more than a couple of days before Step 8 is unlocked and you can schedule a delivery.....

So I have my vin, but my guide said my truck hasn't been built yet. He said he was able to get the vin early to get the process moving. Wondering if this is accurate, almost everything he has told me with getting the PBA and digital ordering process has been off. Maybe the truck is actually in L.A?

 

[Shzeph]

Did you finance the remainder through Rivian?

Yup! I had a trade-in, plus some extra down payment cash, and the rest was financed
