I passed a El Cap R1T in Bethel today!
Sadly the wife took mine for the day so I was in her wrangler.
Is it anyone here?

Has anyone had any luck w/ vehicle registration in VT?

Rivian (or whatever third party they are using) has been dragging their feet. This weekend I received the returned/rejected application from the VT DMV (including all payment and documentation). The title application was filled out incorrectly (6000 for loaded, 7200 for empty weights?!). I guess the state doesn't like the loaded weight being less than empty.

My temp plate expires in ~10 days (And the truck was actually picked up for service last week).

I drove my R1T all over VT a few weeks ago. It was a lot of fun talking to all the Vermonters that had never even conceived of an electric truck, let alone one as capable as the R1T. I also got some adventurous types that did know about them swoon over it saying it was their dream truck.

So which one of you was driving around shelburne farm today? Saw an el cap on 20” AT while my family and I were on the tractor ride leaving the main farm house

and now there’s a Rivian parked at my hotel in Burlington. I’m less than 48 hours away from my own

Not me, unfortunately. I did finally see my first one (other than my own) on Sunday while travelling along route 22A. It was Rivian Blue.

I’ve still never seen a blue one. The one I’ve bought will be the first for me

I think the blue looked better in person than in the photows I've seen, though I only saw it for a few seconds ;)

Did you ever get this worked out?

I did. Rivian sent a corrected Title application to me via FedEx overnight. I mailed it back to VT DMV on 8/17 and received my plates yesterday (9/2).

That said, I still need to make sure the lender gets the title, as right now they've sent me 3 nastygrams. The last one stated they would default the loan (and increase interest) if they don't receive it by October 11th.

Just curious as I just got my configuration confirmation email, but how does driver+ work in VT? Are highways 89 and 91 mapped for driver+?

I've only used 89 (between Exits 12 and 21) so far, but it works pretty well. It does seem to like bouncing around the lane a bit, but the updates definitely seem to be improving things.

I use Driver + on 89 every week. No problems at all, except when going directly into the sun and the cameras get blinded, as is to be expected.

Hey All! Took delivery of my R1T a couple weeks ago!

How long did you have to wait until your Vermont registration came through?
