Anybody in North Idaho (Coeur d Alene) or Eastern Washington (Spokane) able to purchase yet? I'm a January 2022 R1S pre-order still in limbo with status listed as "Processing Estimate" due to my location and distance from service centers. Once again waiting for a positive update at the end of October.

I lived in this area when I ordered but moved before they started delivery. I'm currently further away now but I was able to get my R1S by using a relatives address in the Seattle area. The only problem is if I have any issues then I'm on my own until mobile service can get here. I'm thinking service in my area will be here 1-2 times a year.

The bad news is there is nothing publicly planned for service in your area. The good news is Rivian is expanding quickly and some things pop up that we're not on the public map. If you get your Rivian and have problems then you may be on the hook to tow it to Seattle to get fixed.

Either you wait for an unknown length of time for service in your area or use a Seattle address and risk getting it knowing you will have limited service options.

Did you register it in Washington? If not how was that process handled?

I live in the same area.

Used a relative’s address to take delivery, and had no issues with registration/titling in Idaho.

I did have to make a 10hr RT drive for a service appointment, but the Bellevue SC was pretty good about getting us in and out the same day.

A few months ago there was a “coming soon” dot for a SC in Spokane on the Rivian map, but that seems to have disappeared. So, for the foreseeable future I’d plan on expecting to have to drive to Seattle for service.

I am a Nov. 2020 R1S reservation holder. Just changed my delivery address to my son's in Bellevue. Will see if that speeds it up. I took delivery of my Lucid in Seattle and registered it in Idaho without any issues.

I have a daughter in Seattle so I may do the same depending on October's update. Let me know how it goes. Good luck.
