Miles on odometer at delivery / pickup? Mileage thread

[Dark-Fx]

Some states require 100 miles as the minimum so they just put it on everyone's paperwork.

I just picked up my R1T yesterday. DMV paperwork all said 100 miles, so I thought that was probably a default #. Did my walk around everything looks awesome but was surprised when I looked down when leaving it had 290 miles already. After waiting so long from the truck, wasn't going to pass on it for less than 300 miles, but was surprised it had that many and my guide did not point that out. They also did not have any of the 4 puck covers under the truck fastened (just hanging down), so they flapped all the way home.

If you saw that 290 number on the main driver display, that’s the range estimate. I know there are more than a few folks that have made that mistake, myself included.

You are correct! Thanks!! Learning curve starts now ! I currently have 30 miles and drove it about 20 yesterday, so my guess it had 9-10 miles at delivery.

I pulled the trigger on an R1S in the shop about 10 days ago. VIN is 17xxx which is lower than I expected. I found out yesterday that it is already in Brooklyn and ready for pickup. I asked how many miles on the clock and was told 28. Should I be worried that this vehicle has already been rejected by someone else?

How many miles were on your new R1S or R1T when you picked it up?

My R1T had 25 miles on it. Had for a month now, no problems!

Anything less than 100 is fine. Most seem to have 20-30 upon delivery. It's not something unique to Rivian. Plenty of articles on the web about this.

I got mine with 26 miles. I was waiting for it to arrive to my SC from the factory.

I had about 25 miles on the odometer, paperwork will say 100 miles

Awesome! Thanks all for the quick responses. I definitely feel a whole lot better knowing that twenty-some miles is normal.

Ours had 35 came directly from the factory…

100 miles on the paper work. So I guess I don’t know the actual miles at delivery

Mine had 100 miles on it when I picked it up in March this year..?

I've had special order cars from Germany with fewer miles than my Rivian had on it and mine had 20-something on it as well. With so many people having about the same number of miles on their new trucks, it makes me wonder if they do some sort of dyne-testing at the factory to sync all the motors and systems.

As I was growing up, my dad worked at the Kenworth Truck Factory and EVERY truck built went out on a 10-12 mile test drive as part of the QA process.

I would recommend checking at p/u. It was not pointed out to me & realized once home it had way more than it should have.
