Tips for delivery day on a pre-owned R1S?

[dgcassidy]

Delivery day for our pre-owned R1S has been scheduled (hurrah!) and the purchase process seems easy enough so far but are there any hot tips for how to handle final inspection of the vehicle? Things we should look for that might be red flags, tasks we should do in advance, or simply stuff we should ask Rivian for before we leave the center?

We're coming from a Tesla Model 3 (bye-bye, swasticar! Loved the vehicle, but can't associate with the brand now) so no adaptation to EV is needed. That said, are there any Rivian-specific things one should know in advance?

If there's a FAQ on this, happy to review that -- couldn't find one when I went searching. Thanks in advance for sharing your wisdom!

The same things you’d do for any pre owned vehicle purchase: is everything matching descriptions you agreed to? what doesn’t match?

Bit of a pain, but worth checking everything.

Recently bought another project Jeep in the warm weather and literally the ONLY thing I didn't check was the heater. Yup: no heat. Would have bought it anyway - just would have liked to have had it fixed before driving it in the cold weather!

Oh, man, I would NOT want to drive a Jeep with no heat! Thanks for the encouragement.
