We took delivery of our LE R1S earlier today. We did the tour and got to see the factory in action. I've been there a few times for family events so this is the first time production was happening. Overall a great experience with a great tour guide.
We then went back to the delivery center. They were doing 2 other deliveries at the same time. The R1S looked great. We didn't see any glaring issues. Build quality seems pretty good. I had my family member (that works at Rivian) help with the inspection . Edit - I might've had Rivian goggles on and missed some alignment issues lol.
Factory was buzzing with activity and the lots were full of R1 and Vans. Quite a few white vans to be used for Rivian service.
Overall our timeline was Oct 21 order, access to shop on 3/14, picked a R1S on 3/20, delivery 3/24. I'm exhausted as we had to quickly sell our MY (Carmax) and get ready for "Pebbles". Installed a Tesla J1772 charger which was super easy as I had a Tesla charger up until a few days ago. Getting quotes on PPF and window tint scheduled for 4/29.
