I didn't say it didn't matter; just that close proximity to a Rivian service center won't be a requirement for delivery (at some point but initially it appears to be and likely for the reason I mentioned). Strategically it probably is a requirement for areas dense with customers, but not for...
I'll certainly plan on contributing :)
I spend the majority of Oregon's 4 week bow season in the woods and was really looking forward to heading out in an R1T this season, but alas...
I talked a bit about this with my guide. I'll just say they have a plan and close proximity to a Rivian service center isn't a requirement for delivery. That being said I'm guessing there will be a period of time at the start of deliveries where they want vehicles near service centers to be able...
He didn't use location as a qualifier when he said it, but I suppose it could have been implied and I didn't ask for clarification. I did get the sense that they are being really conservative as they are strongly committed to the "delivery by" dates they are communicating.
Another thing I...

I'd totally be game for getting together :)
I met with my guide earlier this afternoon and got some disappointing news. My delivery will be by mid-January. He said it is likely to be earlier, but will be by then. He mentioned that I was in the first group of deliveries. I asked about folks...
I finally got the initial contact email from my guide and scheduled the intro for tomorrow afternoon. Hopefully some of my fellow Oregonians on here will also hear from their guides s00n.
This is how Rivian addressed it in a Twitter comment :
"You can cook without worry, using the interior door locks will prevent any interruptions to cooking your masterpiece!"
So, no there won't be any automatic protection.
Interestingly, I noticed code from the Rivian site that is showing this type of support in the works at least in regard to associating a Rivian account to a ChargePoint one. Based on some the code, it looks like the portal will have an additional menu item for "Linked Accounts" in the personal...
This is my take as well. It seems unlikely that they would announce another delay within the same month of the expected start of deliveries. Looking at how many employees they have onboarded in the last several months in positions for deliveries and repair, there are a lot of folks on the...
Congrats and I am looking forward to hearing how it goes!
For the Washington folks who have been contacted by guides, have they indicated how they are handling delivery given the lack of direct sales? If they arrange pick-up in Oregon, I would hope they ship some for us Oregon customers as well :)
