Oh, man. I’ve got to talk to my guide about this delivery. I actually don’t even know where the truck is, right now. Hopefully, he can arrange to have it transported to Sparks. I live in Gardnerville.

Rivian will do a home delivery to your house. Something to do with regulations on Delivery and Title at different locations. I can't remember the exact wording but that was what my Delivery "guide" explain to me. My R1S was delivered last week on a Rivian flatbed truck.

As for the Reno/Sparks SC, the Guide also said by end of year. Rivian Sacramento SC is hiring and training people for our local SC. He said Mobile Service should be available in the area.

Hmmmm. That’s interesting. Rivian knows that I’m titling the truck in Nevada. The details in my 8-step process show my Nevada address and even paying Douglas County, NV sales tax. I was under the impression that they were no longer doing free long range deliveries. During the 8-step process, they seemed to indicate that there is a $1000 fee for the delivery service. I will definitely have to dig a little deeper into this delivery thing. I assume you delivery went well.

Darn. The deeper one gets into this whole process, the more mystery there seems to be. Heck, I’d just like to know where the truck is right about now. I keep waiting for someone to reach out and give me an update. Time to call my guide, again.

I was under the no free delivery impression as well. But the only SC in Nevada is in Vegas. I doubted Rivian would force me to drive 8-9 hours to pick up from Vegas SC. Originally, my Guide said it was being shipped to Vegas SC but later clarify, it was being shipped to Sacramento SC. There was no charge for the home delivery, nor did it ever show up during my 8-steps.

Delivery went great. Fit, alignment, and build is an A-. My Driver side door speakers says Meridian, while everything else is Rivian Elevation. Also, the front Passenger seat wood trim Rivian model label (where it says Launch Edition or Adventure), it says Launch Edition on it. My build is an Adventure. I pointed it out to my Delivery Guide and he says I can put in a ticket to get those corrected. The whole ordeal took 5 weeks from the email "It's time to begin the purchase process" to delivery.

There needs to build a RAN station in Tahoe. I know they have one in truckee, but having one on I50 would be amazing!

I second a RAN in South Lake Tahoe. It may only be 30-40 miles from Truckee, but it’s a totally different world (or may as well be).

I’m about 4 weeks in from receiving my VIN #. The truck was in Normal at that time. That’s odd about the Launch Edition details. Your experience with the home delivery is encouraging.

Regarding the RAN in South Lake Tahoe, that would be nice for the tourists. I’m less than 20 miles from S. Lake Tahoe and never go up there, except to ski at Heavenly. Way too many people at Tahoe, I’m afraid. It is beautiful, though.

Just received a text message from the Sacramento SC stating that they were expecting my truck next week. Don’t know how long it will take them to prep it. So, it’s looking a lot like delivery some time after Labor Day.

Also, confirmed that, in-spite of what my 8-step process indicates, they will deliver to my home in Gardnerville with no charge. So, glad to have that option. Thanks, again, for sharing your delivery experience. Gettin’ close?

I was contacted by the Sacramento SC, today. They have my truck and wanted to schedule a delivery date, which we did - 9/12. I asked, if the truck was ready, could I pick it up sooner in Sacramento. He confirmed what you said about titling and delivery in NV. They have to deliver to your home in NV, otherwise you would be dealing with CA taxes and titling. He also mentioned that the Sparks SC will be open in “a couple of weeks”.?

And depending on what part of SLT you're coming from, it could be a lot longer if 89 through Emerald Bay is closed...which it certainly was for most of this past winter...

Rivian R1T R1S Reno/Sparks, NV SC rivn reno

I took this picture this morning at the new Reno Rivian center at 1315 Greg Street (Sparks NV). They also have signage inside the office with chairs. They have four charges on the side of the building too (not the super chargers). I didn't see any Rivian service trucks or Rivian employees just a few construction guys working inside. My guess is they are very close to opening.

I'm waiting for a few minor rattles to get fixed, and waiting until I can get them scheduled for the Sparks SC. It shows up in the app as the nearest Service Center for me, but won't let me schedule yet. I keep checking every few days.

Did you pay the $1,000 for delivery? My R1T should be in Sacramento on September 9 and I ordered delivery to Minden, NV.
BTW, I suppose that I won't receive EDRS from Rivian so I won't be able to register it online. DMV in Carson City is horrible, 2 months appointment waiting time, but hopefully, we should be able to use Douglas County Clerk Treasurer at Tahoe General Services.

Delivery is FREE to Nevada! You can’t pick it up in Sac, even if you want to, without dealing with CA taxes and title. Luckily, we pay the Douglas County tax rate, 7.1%. As best as I can tell, the registration is pretty much dialed. I don’t think there will be a need to go to DMV In person. I’m getting my R1T delivered in Gardnerville on 9/12. They have had my truck is Sac for almost a week, but the earliest they could deliver it is the 12th. The SC will contact you when they have your truck in Sac.

We’re getting there ?
