I guess you guys bought her out...none left now.

If you look at the seller's history.. she has a history of selling the wristbands, so if you didn't get one tonight... follow her and wait your turn :)

@shrink and I purchased our bands from the same ebay seller with an address listed as Normal, Illinois.
@shrink and my wristbands were all successfully added to our accounts and now work with our vehicles. The ebay sale was legit and absolutely worth $75 when you consider Rivian is selling the same bands for $160-$275!
Thanks NY Rob, I'm going to order one, using my phone drives me crazy

One thing I can tell you after having used the wrist band a few times already... as others have mentioned: you have to place the center of the wristband chip location precisely over the hidden chip reader antenna on the door handle in order for it to work, and the same for the chip reader built in the driver door panel inside the vehicle as well. There is like maybe a couple of mm of "drift" allowed as these are very low-powered circuits, but you really need a direct hit over the antenna to make it work.
I can pretty much nail the outside door handle "spot" on the first try now as the outside door handle is narrow so it's easy to find it's centerline then the spot a bit back from the end of the handle where the antenna is, but the driver side inside door panel is huge and antenna is very difficult to locate.. I'm going to put a tiny (removable) adhesive dot at that location so it doesn't take me so long to find it in the future.

judging by the meal tokens and other products, and her address being ultra close to the factory... I'd suspect someone works at the injection molding machine. likely feeding in the RFID chips or removing the completed bracelets.

Aside from the fact that the bracelets aren't same as the launch edition versions.

Does anyone know why some wristbands are half yellow and others are all black?

Wristbands are available at many service centers for $100, they asked me to come and buy. I am still thinking if I really need to get one.
