CA or NM for the R2 Reservation List?

[UnsungZero_OldTimeAdMan]

Well, this changes things. Will this work? I'm gonna leave Pasadena as my home location for purposes of the wait list. I have always planned to get the R2 in 2027, for the reason mentioned in the last post.

But, what I should do is take delivery in Denver, get the permit you mention and drive the car to Taos and register it in NM. I have a Chevy Bolt, purchased in Santa Fe and registered in NM (I like the black plate with red and green chiles).

My questions are: 1. Will Rivian be unhappy if I have listed my location as Pasadena on the wait list but then request delivery in Denver? 2. Do I pay any sales tax in CO when I take delivery there? 3. What about the first post that mentions no out of state purchases?

These are things you should ask Rivian directly. But I don't think Rivian would let you purchase in CA, only to be delivered to another. There may be state laws involved as well.

So I went back and looked at my paperwork on the purchase. Before it was ready to be delivered, they ask me where I wanted to pick it up. I told Rivain it would be New Mexico. I originally thought they would deliver the car in New Mexico to my house. They said they would take care of the paperwork it would be taxed in New Mexico and license fee paid. They collected the money in Denver. If I remember correctly, it was never registered or had anything to do with Colorado, but it had an Illinois transit that was good for four months. When I got to New Mexico, I had to show them the car and then I ordered my vanity plate. As you can see from the photo they charged me The sales tax which was added to my total amount owed.

Ok. Sounds promising. As I reported earlier, we spend winters in CA (where we raised our kids and have many friends). I plan to wait for the second year of the R2 -- assuming my Outback, with 150k miles on it, holds out -- but don't know where I might be when "my number is called."

Glad to know that, if in NM at the time, I can get it there (well, in Denver) and register it there. Thanks!
