DELIVERED!!!

Good news: you don't live in my neighborhood. So I won't get taunted every day while I wait for my truck.

Bad news: I don't recognize the neighborhood, so I don't know where to go to stalk your truck.

Guys, I suspect Adam just closed his account on the site. We all sound like the crazy ex girlfriend to him. He already got a life. Let him enjoy it.

it's photoshopped!

Reality is overrated. At this point, this is as real as it gets for me. He looks like the first dude that just landed (after a long trip from Krypton).

Yeah we can't have a forum member with a truck so his account was closed due to Rivian ownership

Congratulations on your new Rivian. May you have safe travels and many great Rivian Adventures.

I didn't close my account (yet)-Where do you think I was?

A couple of notes on delivery:

A real blessing and privilege to have the delivery today. Couple of things to mention, now that the adrenaline has passed and the odometer is 85 miles older.....

The delivery process what not what I expected. I thought a flatbed truck would roll up to my house and unload. Nope. The Rivian person (whose name I forgot within 5 seconds b/c of the adrenaline thing. I'll call him Chad) rolled up in the truck. They only flatbed more than 15 miles away from a SC, and I am 8 miles away. BTW, the odometer reading was 25 miles after his trip to my home. He gave me a quick walkaround and I looked very carefully for paint swirls, uneven panels, etc. Nothing. Looked great and the paint was perfect to my non-professional eye.

We signed some paperwork regarding the title (all legit WA DOT forms that I have seen before) and Chad got some info from the Model 3 I was trading (got a great trade in value, about $1200 less than if I had sold myself, but this all happened so fast I had no time to sell on my own)

Chad spent some time in the truck with me getting everything set up, the phone app working, and a couple of updates on the UI. Got the 2 cards, fob, and wristband but were NOT in the fancy box. Truck had the most current software (birdseye, rear screen activation, etc). I was pretty familiar with the rest having watched pretty much every video out there, twice.

45 min later, Chad drove away and I stood there and thought about how amazing this is to have this beast of a truck in my driveway after all of this time. Then, I was out like a shot with the family for our first cruise around.

I realize I am early in the delivery process, and I hope this (and the other deliveries in the next couple of days) are the first drops of what will quickly become a flood of deliveries.

Also, you don't need to dress to match your truck, though I would like to see what people come up with for the Compass yellow.

About the color, I just took the photos with my iPhone, no fancy filters or settings. I uploaded the good ones, but some came out terrible.
