My PBA is signed as well now. Just seen the white one in Ankeny for the first time this morning. First impression, it's bigger than what I expected. I'm still really on the fence if whether or not I'm going to go through with this.. all these posts about problems and breakdowns (overall reliability) has me really really nervous.
Just get it. If it fails, sell to someone else. ?

Happy to take it off your hands and add another R1T to my garage. :)

Update: My truck is ready for delivery, looks like next week assuming I push the button on the purchase agreement. My wife is in Lincoln today so having her stop at Dillon's Auto to see them in person and facetime me. Pretty much a go at this point unless she says something otherwise.. Also, the trade-in value I got from Rivian was the lowest of four I got, one was $4k higher and I tried to negotiate with my guide but he said it's fixed and won't change.

R1T July-Sept window
cool to know about the EA station in Dubuque
Tyler, after switching colours to Canyon Red with Black Mountain interior and twenties, when we all got deliveries changed, I went from July/September to a narrower later window of October/November....what did they tell you? I was an August 2019 pre order and you were quite a bit later. I'm going to have them attach a note to my order that I will pick it up at the factory. With that, they won't need to fit me into any kind of transport schedule. All they need to do is build my truck and give me a guide which I suspect they might be a little short of. I'm sure I will still pay the delivery fee, but will get a factory tour.
I got Friedman Group in Dubuque to quote me an insurance cost with 500 deductible of 1050 for the year. The Californians can only drool about rates like that. Serves them right for getting all the trucks.

omg, excited, scared, nervous, hope the tonneau cover doesn’t break day one, so many emotions! Was hoping the wall charger showed up prior to delivery but no luck there. Overall, pretty damn anxious for tomorrow. Fingers crossed they don’t call and have to delay!

Just don't use the tonneau and you'll be fine...
