There was only LE in the shop when I had access. We got access due to friends and family. Bonehead move getting the stock wheels. I blame it on my wife as I was showing here the options and that is what she picked.

👍 I want to do a factory delivery too, I was just curious. I’m excited to see the production line. I don’t really need any swag lol
It's not about what you need.....

There’s a small gear shop in the lobby of the factory where you can buy stuff. We did get a small swag bag courtesy of our guide who came downstairs to meet us when we took factory delivery.

Congrats on the R1S. Looks great!
What was in the bag 🎒?

Any sense how many vehicles per day they’re producing currently?
It was hard to tell honestly. The staging lots around the factory were bursting at the seams. I asked if there was a bottle neck (getting trucks/train cars) and the guide stated that the lots turned over every 48 hours. I am still a bit skeptical lol.

I'd be interested to learn which 3rd party PPF shops you consider ... and which you choose. In Champaign, a shop called It's a Wrap Automotive does a great job of promoting itself on Instagram.
I'm close to Peoria so I'm checking around (only a few that do Xpel). I had Ztech in Naperville do our MY. They are a 3M installer. They did a good job but too far away if I needed anything. I'll post who I use and the experience if I decide to do it.

Congratulations. I see the typical hood misalignment (hood not flush with fenders at the front). How did you get an LE with a late 2021 order? Well done on getting delivery quickly.
Good God….. let the man enjoy his new ride without picking it apart.

Highly recommend it. The tour was a lot of fun. Delivery center is in a weird spot behind the building. Got to see train cars loaded up with Rivian's on the way back to grab the R1S.
Interesting. Delivery center behind the building? We did a factory tour and delivery in late September. We signed remaining paperwork in the lobby and the actual delivery was outside the main entrance. Did you have to drive around the building after the tour in order to take delivery?

They drive you there and then drive you out. You are not allowed to drive on the lot.

After the tour, they drove us back in a R1S. You have to pass through a security gate and there is a lot of construction. Once paperwork was completed, the delivery specialist drove us back up front in our R1S.

Is there a significant difference between XPEL and other products that are carbon or ceramic film? There is an XPEL dealer/installer right in my area and getting ready to request quotes from local film installers when I it's my turn, which is hope is SOON(tm). I figured the installer was probably more critical than the actual product.
