Haven't heard otherwise. It got a little hairy today with getting my ACH finalized but it sounds like we are on track. Is Obadiah delivering yours too?

Yep! Or at least he’s been my point of contact besides my Guide. I sure hope I like the color in person.

What color is yours? I've seen most colors in person. I haven't seen the Forest Edge in person but I didn't like the black and didn't want to wait for white so ?‍

Beaufort is a nice little town. Enjoy that drive up 17! I'm sure you have a list but if you need helping figuring out where to eat in Charleston I'm happy to help.

Limestone. I originally configured LA Silver (partially because it was no charge) but I have 4 silver cars already so thought I should expand my horizons. Hoping it gives me a little bit of a cactus gray vibe from the new Bronco but I guess we will see.

It's very light relative to a lot of the other flat gray colors that you see like Nardo Gray but if you like silver I think you'll like it. It's a very similar undertone to silver. Too light for my taste but I can see why people like it.

Well I am hopeful. I wasn’t brave enough to go Blue or Yellow. El Cap looks great in pics and probably would have been choice #2 since I wasn’t going Silver. what color interior did you go for?

I'm green on green (Forest Green with Forest Edge).

I saw a Launch Green on Green at the c&c event a month ago. The interior definitely worked with that exterior color and wasn’t as olive as some pics portray it to be.

I just logged in to tell ya. So It was delivered (not by Obadiah) but by one of the other guys who had texted me about a week ago when it arrived in Atlanta. He actually called/texted this morning and said he would be coming between 12 and 1 if that was OK. UH....DUH!!! Yes it's OK!
Very easy process. They check your ID, have you sign a couple of more pages related to SC DMV stuff and then make sure you have the App and have it paired up for unlocking. Still not sure about the key as a phone deal. The fob being passive like so many cars and my Tesla makes a lot more sense and needs to be activated ASAP imo. Had some minor bubbling/lifting on the left gear tunnel door PPF like so many of them and a seal was loose at the bottom of the left rear door when opened (popped it back on). Truck is unbelievably beautiful. Was so subconsciously worried I would not like the color, or even the black interior in person but either I am in a lust phase or I was just alarmed for no reason. I love it. Coming out of a Model S and Model X the interface is similar but different enough it will take some getting used to. Much like switching from Apple to Android, although hopefully not that extreme. The lack of a creep mode and true one pedal driving compared to Tesla does take some adjustment and I felt a little awkward when I drove it to lunch trying to get that modulation figured out but I will get the hang of it. Quality of materials compared to 2013 (and even 2016) Tesla is on another level. Tesla is going to have to up their game if they want to stay in the race long term against this sort of product is my initial thought. They do need to replace all of the staff they are cutting at Rivian with more software people to get the truck more in line with Tesla feature-wise but that should come with time. I have a feeling I will just sit in the truck for an hour or so tonight and play with the menus etc to figure out more. You are about to be so happy tomorrow. I can't wait to hear your report. I'm like a friggin kid on Christmas morning.
