Any one else have home delivery of their Rivian? What are your experiences? Advisor I spoke with said I would have to pick up from service center. Online the only choice I have is home delivery. I personally would rather travel to the service center than to have Rivian drive my vehicle to me.

They brought my truck on a flatbed and then he parked the flatbed about a half mile from my house, then drove the truck from there to my house. I was hoping to see my Rivian on the flatbed, but he said some people don’t like them driving the flatbed in front of their house and unloading the truck there, so they try to unload in a parking lot near your house.

I recently had home delivery in the Houston area. They apparently have a range where they will drive the truck to you (I was in this range at 49 mi). If you are outside a given range, they will drive it on a flat bed. They also just drove my trade in away. Something I wasn’t expecting but luckily the 2007 Acura TL was cooperative. I am not sure how far you have to be to get a flatbed.

Same here. Then after my guided experience they drove my traded vehicle back to where the flatbed was parked and drove back to the SC. My truck had 100 miles on delivery day. I'm about over 150 miles from SC and opted home delivery on a Saturday.

I had the same situation with the trade in. He jumped in and drove it back the flatbed.

My truck had ~23 miles on it when he arrived in my driveway.

I took home delivery. I was willing to take delivery at a service center, but they said they'd prefer doing home delivery, for some reason. It was a great experience. They transported my R1T on a flat bed so they didn't put any extra miles on my vehicle. It was kind of nice getting everything setup on my WiFi and being able to do it all in my driveway. The delivery specialist seemed willing to spend as much time as we wanted.

I'd do home delivery again, in a heart beat.

Home delivery ..... great experience! Flatbed from SLC UT to Boise ID. They setup my garage opener and both of our user profiles. Answered all of our questions.

I had home delivery - positive experience on my end. They drove it 33 miles from the SC (it arrived with 48 miles on the odometer) to my house and drove my trade-in (Tundra) away. The whole experience was right at an hour. Was a great day!

Truck was driven to my house (~14 miles). Woman who dropped it off gave me the option and I elected for a quick handoff. Total time she was at my house was maybe 20 min? Then she took a Lyft back to the service center. Soooooooo much better than any dealer experience I've ever had.

Home delivery 3 days ago. Came in on a flatbed and they took my 2019 Volvo XC60 away (BTW fair trade-in on the Volvo). Driver went over everything with me, put the plates on, had me sign the title and was on his way. It was all a seamless, great experience. Truck is beautiful.

Interesting. Do you mind sharing what they gave you? I sold my 2019 XC60 to get my R1T, as well. Rivian seriously low-balled me. Took it to CarMax and left with a check that was $6k higher than Rivian offered.
