have a hard copy of the inspection check list with you.

try to not smile too much.

be tolerant of neighbors who look confused.

Do a quick video around the vehicle so you can document any potential alignment or paint issues. Rivian is only giving buyers 1y/12,000 miles to have those addressed.

Hard copy inspection check list? Is that a Rivian official document or something someone created on here?

Try not to worry too much over details that are ultimately inconsequential. Lots of people go into this process with the idea that they are going to scrutinize their Rivian so they don't get taken advantage of. Don't start out with an adversarial mindset instead start with a cooperative mindset.

By all means get issues fixed but don't go out of your way to look for them. As with anything in life, if you look hard enough for problems that's exactly what you're going to find. I strongly recommend against being one of these guys measuring panel gaps and things like that. If its not off enough to be immediately apparent who cares.

If you set your expectations accordingly the Rivian will most likely be the best vehicle you have ever owned.

There are a couple that nice folks here started.

https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/...ct-loti-when-taking-rivian-r1t-delivery.6504/

I didn’t take one with me, although I did give it a good once over before swiping up that I accepted delivery. I figured as long as there was nothing glaring, I would take more time checking it over at home the day after delivery and Rivian would take care of anything I found. Honestly I found nothing when I did that….
