DaveA...do you get to keep the loaner R1T until they get you a new one off the line? That would be WAY cool! :cool:
Man, I have no clue at this point....they said the buyback process isn't the quickest, so we'll see.

Maybe they'll forget - not remembering until the new one is delivered... :CWL:

Park it around back when they deliver the new one and just feign innocence if they ask about it.

Update: They are going to repurchase it and I’ll be getting a new one! When, I have no idea. But this is good news. If anyone gets a Silver loaner in the future let me know so I can match VINs and you can tell me how it turned out. ?.
I hope you have something in writing that they agree to sell you the new truck at the "old price" not the post march 1st price.

Tesla has pulled that fast one on a few "buy back" customers. Bought back at the old price, customer given no provision to re-purchase at that price.. must pay current price.

Good point...I will have to check.

^ I don't think/don't hope Rivian would stoop that low, but as Reagan used to say "Trust, but verify".

Silver has always been my easy choice...would like to see a more recently painted on to see if kinks have been worked out...El Cap or Limestone (if I can see one in person) are considerations.

No love for Red Canyon?! ?
I like it...my daughter likes it...wife has a fear of beautiful colors. I may try harder to convince.

Hey @DaveA. The collision shop is close to my house and I stopped by this morning. Here are a couple of pics. I am glad they decided to give you a new truck. Looks like a lot of work being done. Not sure why the light bar on the left side of the truck was taken off. They also took off the rear passenger door. The second pic is funny. They are holding a paint swatch against the truck.
