What does it mean when they invite you to do the 8 steps? That the sc has your truck? I just got the email today and was not expecting it because my guide said he would wait to start filling out credit applications.

It means they have a VIN for you (you can see it when you get to the insurance step). It may be at an SC, it may still be at the factory awaiting inspection, it may be on a truck somewhere. But it's been produced! Congrats!

Non offload being more aero, correct?
No the opposite. Underbody shield being more aerodynamic. Without it there are significantly more grooves and gaps underneath the vehicle for air to get trapped. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

Wow. Does this mean we should see better mileage WITH the offload upgrade? I was specifically told it would be worse with the offoard upgrade by customer service. . . . . I don't have Off Road upgrade now, but if it meant slightly better range I might get it.

I haven't been able to test it but it appears that the aerodynamic gain may more than make up for the added weight of around 150lbs as some other members on here have alluded to. I was on the fence and I'm very glad I got it. Looks like a significant amount of additional protection.

The outer underbody shield is the same wether one has off road protection or not.

Did they send paperwork in the mail with a check? We got a price but the transaction is taking longer than your timeline. Thanks
Nope. They texted me and requested loan information. The only paperwork came with the gentleman who inspected my car.

Per the employees at the SC, that is not the case nor did it appear that way when they showed me both ?‍♂

Holy Hell. I'm really glad I read your post about Driveway.com

I just got a cash offer on my Model 3 Performance= $63,400! Tesla trade-in offer is $55,600. So- even without trading-in tax credit, I'll be up almost $4000 after I pay full retail without trade-in tax credit.

Ah ok. They aren’t coming to inspect it. Just pick it up. No loan here to worry about.

I just logged in to my Rivian account to see that the guide is assigned. I did not receive any emails or a call from the guide yet. What are my options now? Just sit tight and wait for the communication from Rivian guide or should I proactively use one of the 3 options to contact the guide (SMS Chat, Email, Phone)?
