Miles on odometer at delivery / pickup? Mileage thread

[mpshizzle]

I don't think 15 people is enough. So I'll be the 16th person to tell you that they all just say 100 on the contract, even though it'll be less ?

My rep went over the same clause, but my R1 S had just 12 miles on it.

We took delivery of Opal (our R1T) at the Factory in Normal in April, 2023. He had 9 miles on her when we first got in her at the delivery center.

I am headed this week to pick up the 2025 R1S. The Odometer Disclosure Statement says "
I, (Seller/Transferor)______________________________, state that the odometer
now reads 100 (no tenths) miles and to the best of my knowledge reflects the actual
mileage of the vehicle described below, unless one of the following statements is checked:"

It is understandable that the vehicle would have some factory testing miles on it and such. But 100 miles is a bit on the high side for a new vehicle. What do you all think? What have you all seen with your purchases?

This is standard legal stuff since a vehicle less than 100 is still new. I signed same thing but my vehicle at delivery only had 18 miles

A car can still be considered new in California with more than 100 miles if it’s never been titled. Eg, years ago we picked up a car with 400 miles on it - it was a dealer swap. The dealer accounted for every single mile, so we knew it was taken care of. It was titled as a new car without issues. It now has 80k miles on it and it’s been great.

I bought my Tesla Model Y with 1,393 miles in California. It was a demo car but sold as new.

Mine said 100 but had somewhere around 10. That's normal to put 100 in the docs.

100 miles standard on the documentation. Mine was at 14 miles when I picked up.

This is the answer. Tesla put 50 on all theirs. Most new vehicles have less than 50 miles on them. If its over 100 then I would be asking more questions.

Ours had 160 miles on it.

Mine was just under 80 miles, if I recall.

Since the boilerplate forms seem to list 100 as the default, did they do anything different or give you any explanation for the higher miles?

Living in Bloomington/Normal, IL - There were several thousand R1S/R1T Gen1 being stored on the other side of town when the main Rivian storage lot filled up, because of backordered parts. As vehicles came off the assembly line, there were drivers shuttling vehicles to/from the overflow lot storage from April'24 through August'24. That overflow is empty now and the main storage lot is down to about 50% capacity with a mix of R1S/R1T and EDVs.

Read: Some miles were accumulating waiting for final parts and checks. No one was joy riding your vehicles around. They are very serious around here. Rivian is the main job growth driver in the area. Everyone knows Rivian's importance in the BloNo area.

Thank you for the information. Mine had about 78 or 79 miles, as I recall. But I was buying it in March 23, when it was built in September 22. I assumed that it had been sitting on a lot at the factory, waiting for a part(s). I figured that something had failed inspection (and that there might have been some test drives) when it was built, and that it was waiting to have that part/assembly replaced or corrected.
P.S. It had a working power tonneau cover when I selected it in the shop (which is why I selected it), but it had failed while being tested at the local service center (and was locked in the open state). They gave me the option to back out, but at that point it was unknown if a PTC would ever be available again.

So, I'm fairly certain Rivian can reset the odometer to zero when they want pre-sale/delivery.

Evidence: My lease paperwork said 100mi (like everyone else here), the truck said ~36mi on the ODO, and the KICKER - the trip [A] was well over 250 miles. Guess they didn't reset it...

Long story short, the delivery mileage is meaningless.

 

[Rivtony]

Well, mine has 100 miles in the pre delivery paperwork and exactly 100 miles at delivery

I’m curious what the mileage of your r1 was when delivered.

With previous cars I’ve seen 7-25 miles. My r1s order is showing over 100.

Is this standard because of testing and QC? At what point is the delivery mileage too much?

My R1T was at 17 miles if I remember correctly
