How do we definitively know that this is a Rivian Service Centre?

Because it's laid out the same as all the other ones and there is zero incentive for @Ripped to make it up?

Wasn’t questioning Ripped’s legitimacy, just seeing if they actually said it was a Rivian service centre.

Someone knew someone to have that inside track. I know where that bldg is and there’s absolutely nothing in permits or signage that says Rivian. Again, I whole heartedly believe Ripped but someone has the inside scoop on it.

I can 100% confirm. I found some publicly available documents that have Rivian as the lease-holder at this location in Richmond. Took a few minutes of searching but it's definitely a Rivian service center.

Edit: To clarify - it's not a building permit or such that I found. It's from the most recent quarterly "office market" reports sent out. The last two quarterly reports explicitly call out Rivian as a 'significant suburban transaction' with the address listed.

@Ripped Did a few minutes of Google Map work and located it. While perfectly situated considering the "Stores" around it, I wonder how many vehicles they'll be able to store on site given the lots configuration.

Yep if you see any Granite coloured RT1s with black wheels - call me ;)

I've agreed that they can keep excess inventory at my place, so it shouldn't be an issue ;)

If you would be so kind!

Part of me wants to go have a peep since it's so close to my project, the other part of me is saying "traffic sucks" Not to mention the lack of vehicles onsite at the moment (assuming)

Or provide extra parking spaces?

But there *could* be vehicles onsite. Don't know until you go!

I was there on Friday and didn't see any vehicles of interest to us on site. It's moving along nicely but no identifiable signage or chargers out front yet. The rough-ins are there and they now have a functioning rear garage door.

So I did a quick drive by on my way to my parents to get a nice brisket ready for Thanksgiving. From what I could tell the chargers appear to be installed out front! I couldn't grab any pictures while driving, so I'll do a full check on it tomorrow.

Exciting times!

Hope everyone is having a great holiday weekend! Here's a quick status report:

Chargers in place: ✅
Front garage door: ✅

Signage hasn't been installed yet, and no Rivian vehicles to oggle at sadly. Good progress though!
