My saga continues. 3/21 contact. Tuesday 3/22 paid and VIN assigned and Stage 8 opened for me on Wednesday 3/23. Estimated delivery for this week from Guide for manually delivery assignment (calendar for delivery is still broken).
Yesterday my guide called and informed me that my "vehicle...
Stage 8 purgatory drags on. Vin was assigned 3/22 and the guide targeted this week for delivery.
I got a call 2 hours ago that my tuck failed inspection!! They are working to reassign me a new VIN from completed and unassigned vehicles, and are still trying for delivery this week. I didn't ask...
IMO seems extremely high. I think it will go right at 6 figures, but 2x retail seems extreme. Rivian doesn't yet have the clout or prestige of something like a Hummer to bring the extreme markup.
Look at the Lucid Dreams for a reference. They only made 500 of them, several of which are...
Woke up to my schedule Delivery email!
No time slots available error, so I reached out to my guide for help. Rivian insurance kicks in on the 30th, so I'll schedule for that day. If it's possible to take delivery sooner I may just get gap coverage with my current provider for a couple of days...
Take everything out of the equation. Just look at the data available.
At a MINIMUM Black Mountain improves your delivery odds. At best you outright cut in line.
They are not going to stop making something they have figured out. Will they decide to increase complexity by adding in Ocean Coast...
We made a call back in late Fed to swap to a configuration that matched the demo vehicles. BM, 20" R1T Wheels, and dropped accessories.
We are perfectly happy to take an earlier delivery vs waiting for Ocean and the 20" R1S AT wheels and potentially seeing another delay.
While writing this...
Stage 8 3/22 checking in from Charleston, SC. My wire transfer for the down payment left my account this AM, and my guide emailed me to confirm they received the check at the office for the remaining balance.
My initial call on Monday indicated I should expect to take delivery before the end...
Just got off the initial phone with our guide. Couldn't have been nicer.
Our build is on the production line and we should expect near the end of the month, which is surprising given that we are in Charleston, SC.
As other have stated, we were given the opportunity to change interior color...
We were extremely early Tesla M3 owners, and our vehicle came with was at that time called "enhanced autopilot" (later "FSD Capable").
The functionality for the first 6 months was extremely similar to what Rivian is offering with Driver+, but the features improved over time. Eventually updates...
Just heard back from my guide. He confirmed that "the only thing coming off the line is Black Mountain" when I asked about changing back to Ocean Coast.
We are going to stick with our color change to BM. Just not worth the risk of more unexpected delays just for a functionally identical...
Based on the contacts here it looks like they are finally starting to work through the "challenging" delivery states like MIchigan and SC.
I know of 1 other Rivian in the state currently, so they are delivering here ..
Guide was assigned yesterday. I sent a text to him this AM.
Hoping to get some clarification on if Ocean Coast interior is a delay or not.
Given the likelyhood of further supply chain issues, my wife and I have agreed that if we can't get a definitive answer we are going to go with what is...
Don't forget that LOCATION is also a major factor. Cars are going out significantly faster to folks on the West Coast while the South East is a ghost town.
I'd say at this point we are prob looking at Atlanta for take-in service. I'd expect eventually something to show up in Savannah or Charlotte, just like Tesla did.
Current state law basically makes it impossible for them to set up anything in the state. We are in the Charleston Tesla Club and...
Logged in this AM and my configuration is locked.
No guide assigned, but CS says that I should have one s00n and that changes WOULD impact my delivery. Seems like I've moved to the next step in the process...
Located in Charleston, SC. April/May window.
This feels like the right place for this.
I'm a 2/19 preorder April/May delivery. No guide.. LE R1T.
My order just updated to the new price in the configurator.
We purchased our Tesla in Charlotte and had no issues with paperwork. Several of my friends have taken local delivery of their Teslas and the required paperwork for the DMV showed up in the mail a week or so after delivery.
