Mine didnā€™t update until they called and scheduled. It went from not started to completed.

How long did it take them to do the final inspection? Guess that means i can stop refreshing and just wait for the call or email then.

My timeline:
  • 8/15 - Call from guide to lock my config and in fact that my truck had arrived in the DC area and was starting the pre-delivery inspection
  • 8/24 - Email from Rivian + text from local rep, both saying to do step 8: schedule delivery
  • 8/29 - Scheduled delivery date
Total time: 2 weeks

Seems like everyone is different. I got my guide on 8/5 confirmed on 8/6. Still have yet to get my 8 steps. Iā€™m sitting over here impatiently waitingā€¦

Has Rivian switched to sending trucks to service centers by rail before having customers lock configurations? The R1T shop for my region is always empty, so perhaps Rivian doesn't need to confirm customer configs before building and shipping the vehicles.

Mine will have been at the service center for three weeks as of tomorrow, and I am still in step 8 limbo. I even went to the service center for a ā€œfirst mileā€ drive and the Rivian guy confirmed that the car was in the Denver service center and had been inspected and he did not see anything noted about issues, and that was a week 10 days ago, but still . . . .

And your paying for the truck and insurance? I would be pissed.

Iā€™m doing insurance through my normal insurance broker, which I canā€™t finalize until I get a delivery date. It turned out that I could get it much cheaper through Allstate with bundling my other car and homeowners than the Rivian Allstate option.

My configuration was confirmed 8/14, 8 steps 8/20, now waiting on step 8 to unlock. Guide said you don't need to do insurance or final payment until the day before delivery

I think it really depends on the service center and how busy they are. They will wait until it is on-site it seems. But mine started scheduling via email/text prior to final inspection. If you are getting delivery you need to fit into the delivery schedule which is more limited than pick up for obvious reasons. I had step 8 done before I even finished 4,5,6,7.

I confirmed my config on 8/6 and havenā€™t heard a peep about 8 steps. Hasnā€™t opened up or anything. I talked to my guide 13 days ago and she said give it two weeks and then give her a shout and she will see what the hood up is. I will be reaching out to her tomorrow. Anyone else have anything similar happen? How did it end up?

Wow. That's brutal.

I ordered 8/8 from the Shop. My Guide told me on 8/15, the car had shipped. It still has not arrived at my local Service Center. I sold my car already and am just in a holding pattern. I'm doing a horrible job of being patient. I think 3 weeks of it sitting at the local SC would truly drive me nuts.

Hope you can take delivery soon. So weird your truck has been sitting there so long.

When I was there for my 1st mile drive, the Rivian guy said that they were short staffed and that they even sent a number of their guys to the factory to help out with production. They also said they had a few people in for training from the upcoming Vancouver distribution center. Combine with all of the things Iā€™ve been reading on this forum and elsewhere about people having to take newly delivered vehicles in for service, my supposition is that they just donā€™t have enough people to do all of the deliveries at this time.
