I waited 1567 days for this day! For those of you still waiting, I feel your pain... all I can say is that it's definitely worth the wait!
I finally picked her up earlier today on a cloudy, wet, gloomy day. It literally rained all day, but I managed to take a short drive through the hills of Palos Verdes. Super stoked to finally have a vehicle large enough for my family, and really looking forward to going on some road trips soon!
The vehicle certainly has some issues, and I'm sure I'll find some more over the next several days. My front passenger mud flap is missing, the bumper trim piece had scratches due to train transportation (apparently common according to the person I spoke with), and there's some misalignment of the trim piece along the length of the roof where it meets the top of the trunk on the driver's side.
Regardless, I'm really happy with everything so far. The one weirdness I had was that the GPS voice sounded muffled during navigation. Apparently, it's an issue that I think can be resolved in the software in due time. However, in order to remedy the situation I had to power down the vehicle and start it back up; rebooting the infotainment system wasn't enough.
Anyways, it's headed off to get tinted tomorrow morning. I haven't decided whether to get PPF too, but I may hold off on that decision until I get all the external flaws fixed by my Rivian Service Center next month.
Update:
Got my ride tinted today... went with XPEL Prime XR Plus 70% on all the factory tinted windows and the front widshield, and 35% for the front sides.
