I received one with my delivery. It is a VIN in the 1000's though.
I'm in the same 1,000-2,000 sequence, and got the wristband, the caribeener, two card keys, and downloaded the app to allow access.

If you previously downloaded the app, and it was some time ago, you may save time by deleting it and downloading a new version in advance. We had issues syncing the R1T to the app until we deleted and reinstalled it. One minute later, all was good. Can't wait for the wrap and tinting to be completed, but don't really have a choice....

"Soon!", I tell myself, "Soon!"....?ā€?

I am with you, received my truck on 3/26. I didn’t get the wrist band or any ā€˜gear’ of any kind. No accessories either. Just two key cards and the carabiner.

I think it would be a lot better if they gave us some expectation of when they would come. I won’t say I have had a bad purchase experience but it was a long way from perfect/easy.

That’s funny, when I talked to Customer Service today they had never heard of it and had no idea it ever existed. ?
? I guess they’re hiring quickly.

No wristband or accessories delivered either (3000s VIN). The delivery folks said wristband would come in mail along with the all weather mats. Mats arrived about 1.5 weeks after delivery, still no ETA on the wristband key from my guide.

Did you forgo the Forest Edge, or are you holding out on us?!
I ended up with the (not-so) Black Mountain, and thus, ended up with an R1T. As I explained elsewhere, the choices were:

1. Get an R1T ahead of my 65th birthday, or,
2. Don't get an R1T ahead of my birthday.

I chose option 1.

I was told, as others here have been (and I think as all of those with R1Ts were) "If you're willing to go with the Black Mountain interior, we're ready to configure your truck." I wasn't sure, or told how long I'd have to wait for the F.E. interior, but having it in time for some fun this Summer made sense to me. I don't think of myself as being old, but when I see people younger than me pop up in the obituaries (and read that they died from natural causes), I question Costco-sized purchases of many items. I dont even buy green bananas any more.....

I can't wait to see the Forest Edge in the wild once they start delivering them, but I'll be in my R1T, gift-wrapped and all, by this weekend. The savings will offset some of the wrap/tint expense, and the Black Mountain looks great. As I've also mentioned, that darker interior reduces reflected light off of the inside of the windows, which is an issue for me.

I hope you stick to your guns and get the Forest Edge. I'm guessing it will be awesome!

Good points.
1) Black Mountain is a blueish grey – not a lot of black to it.
2) it does look good, but it's not what I expected
3) strange how car designers still don't "get" that dashes create glare
4) I'm fine with this R1T, but lessons learned, for the R1S next year, I'll go with the light cabin trim ("Ocean Coast") and dark headliner (assuming Rivian starts to allow some degree of customization.)

I had it delivered directly to a PPF shop last Tuesday and saw it only for about an hour. It will be ready tomorrow for our Portland area gathering, linked here for any folks interested in joining:

https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/portland-area-meet-up-april-8th.4411/

I had the chance to drive it a full two feet to pull it into the bright lights of the shop. Not exactly 0-130-0, but fun nonetheless. I did manage to get the speedo up to 1 MPH! Woo hoo!

Pictures and vids to follow.....

Has anyone here received their wrist band key post-delivery? I opened a service case a few weeks ago and still nothing.
