For those waiting for the 8th step to unlock. Do you see this message when you click on it? It used to show my guides contact info. Wondering if this means the truck is close to the SC or if the website was updated.

My delivery is scheduled so I can't generate that message, but it only took a couple of days for the SC to text me to schedule delivery. I live close to the SC so I actually stopped by on a Wednesday and knew my truck was there (but wasn't the previous Saturday) but SC didn't reach out until Friday to schedule.

oh interesting. Just checked and mine says that now, too. As you said, before it would give me my guide’s contact.

I’ve always been curious what they mean by “preparing.” ??‍♂ Seems “preparing” is used for the whole 8th stage rather than like “building” “in transit” etc.

Agreed preparing to me would mean last step at the SC. I've said it before but they need to add a pizza tracker. The guides are hit or miss, this forum is where I get my updates.

I got my VIN on 7/12 and my step 8 is still locked but changed to the “Start the countdown” message last Thursday. My guide said last week the truck is in transit and will be in CA 7/28 so the story here is consistent. Would be nice to get more info but hopefully just a few more days.

That's cool that your guide gave you an estimate. All I've been able to get out is its in transit. Last Wed was told should be just a few more days. I'm also in socal, 5 miles from the El Segundo SC. My 8th step didn't switch to the start the countdown till this Saturday.

I heard from my guide again today that my truck will be in El Segundo on the 28th. I'm guessing there will be a bunch of trucks likely arriving off the train around then. I'm planning on logging in frequently to see if step 8 unlocks and schedule delivery right away. It seems like the SC would unlock delivery as trucks arrive and then work on them on a first come first served basis. It doesn't make sense for them to prep a truck that someone schedules delivery two weeks out b/c of vacation etc. Of course we know how Rivian does first come first served but perhaps that's different after the truck is built. Has anyone heard how they schedule deliveries at the service center?

I’m thinking my truck may be on the same 7/28 schedule. While working through the 8 steps early last week (definitely sounds like a support group) the guide indicated to use 8/1 for insurance starting. But so far I don’t have a delivery date.

I’m not sure I can log in and check any more than I am, but will probably see if it’s possible come the 28th!

My Guide just texted me to tell me the same, that she expects it off the train and at the Costa Mesa SC on Friday 7/29 (under promise?).

I too got all 7 steps completed on 7/12 and have been waiting since

Sounds like we should start a Rivian rehab to support the withdrawals from checking our accounts every hr. ?

Haha. Sounds like they’ll hit SoCal first and then up to SF the following week. A train full of CA Rivians. ?

My 8 steps are now giving me an “off the beaten path” 404 page. Maybe some updates coming through

That's the message I get on the locked 8th step. My 8 steps just opened on the 24th so that's all I ever saw when clicking it. My guide did say the delivery wouldn't be scheduled until the truck got to the service center and passed their inspection. I think the term he used for the current status was it was at the "factory gate" or something like that. He said that probably meant it was essentially done and waiting for final inspection prior to scheduling shipping to the SC.
