Just ordered mine also and had the same thought. CS said that they are not being manufactured at the Atlanta HQ so they are being shipped to you or to them (and you get to pay). Fair enough, so I decided to save the $199 and install them myself. Looks easy enough.
And, for the record, I sent...
Yes, support is needed.
"Support Top Distance" or space between support and object should be 50-100% of your layer height. I used 0.2 mm support distance with a 0.3 mm layer height and the supports separated quite cleanly from the model.

I think your positive outlook really helped!
I completed 6 of the 8 steps yesterday and have an actual VIN number (ending in -1445). Just got off the phone with my Rivian Guide who reports that the vehicle is built, has cleared inspection, and is now waiting for transport to ATL. She also...
I think I'm just being paranoid. A moment ago I received the email that begins,
Hi Ken,

You’ll soon be invited to our digital purchasing...
Anyone else have this experience? My status on the app was listed as "Confirmed" for Dec 2022-January 2023 as of the Friday update. Great news!
Today I got on the website and it immediately prompted me to confirm my config and delivery address and check the box that I understand changing after...
