I reserved An El Cap Granite/Ocean Coast R1T quad yesterday.
The guide I've been working with for the past 3 months sent me the email requesting the $1k down within the hour of reserving.
I'm driving from east TN to Richmond, VA to pick it up s00n.
FYI, he did confirm that demos in Normal...
It's my understanding that since these are sold as "new", and since the sales price = MSRP (since it's coming directly from the manufacturer), as long as it's under $80k it qualifies for the tax credit. You get that when you file your taxes, not up front though, unless Rivian ends up including...
Damn, it's official then. Good catch. They changed the wording on the paragraph above that line, too.
I wonder if "Pick Up Only" means they'll waive the $1,800 "Destination Fee". I'm assuming not, even though the transfer costs should come out of that. Anyone picked one of these vehicles up...
That's good to know. Either my guide is mistaken, making that up, or, the fact that you're registering it yourself ahead of time makes a difference.
I completely get what you're saying the sales guide. When I started this journey a couple weeks ago, the general customer support people at...
I spoke with a guide at 5pm yesterday. My main question was regarding the new policy that the demo vehicles are locked into their SC locations and cannot be transfered between service centers: will this policy return to normal (being able to ship demo vehicles to a nearby service center) after...
Just got an email back about my cancelled demo reservation and the one I placed today:
Hi Patrick,
Apologies that nobody had reached about order request #135x. Been in back-to-back calls most fo the day.
Looking at order #137x and can provide additional insights:
In a nutshell, all of those...
So you're going to CA to pick up the truck and you're in NJ? I'm assuming they're pushing you to do it prior to April 1st?
That's a heck of a drive (or flight/drive), but with savings in the $20k-$30 range (compared to brand new), I totally get it.
Good to know! I had read of others doing it, so it must be just that one service center (hopefully) with that exception.
Let us know how you like your truck once you pick it up!
Damn, so only vehicles located at the Normal, IL service center (factory) can be transferred to a different service center?
I wonder if home delivery (+$1k) is an option at other facilities? I sent an email to my last guide (Conor) to see if that's the case.
If so, I'd be willing to pay the...
Did you schedule it for Home Delivery, ship it to a nearby Service Center or drive to the Service Center where the vehicle is located?
I'm trying to purchase one but my experience has been frustrating.
Wow, still nothing? Not even an email asking for the $1k deposit? I didn't get anything either before they cancelled my 2nd reservation. (the silver one in CA)
So, I reserved this one in the demo shop at ~11pm on Friday night.
Suprisingly, early this morning (Tuesday @ 1:30am) I received an email that my order has been cancelled.
WTF? No email asking to put down a deposit, no contact from a guide, nothing. Just a cancellation email. The truck was...
It was definitely a bummer! According to my guide, the biggest problem was that Rivians can't be transported out of their Brooklyn, NY SC (supposedly).
Fortunately, I was able to "reserve" another demo from the site on Friday evening. I'm hoping I have a better result on this one. It's...
I hope you get it! I just booked another one that's in California. Honestly, I would rather that white one with the dark wheels, but I can deal with a silver one with the brighter 20's.
Good luck! Please report back with how it goes.
After scouring local-ish legacy dealerships for the last month or two, I pulled the trigger on a demo R1T this week.
I "bought" a truck in Brooklyn, NY (I'm around Knoxville, TN) with intentions of having it shipped to the Nashville, TN SC.
A guide reached out about 24 hours later and had me...
