Title, license plate (transfer or new) and registration

[ATL_Canes]

I'm starting to get inquiries from both my bank and insurance company. I can't get answers as to where my registration is. Took delivery on 4/1, so 2.5 months ago...

@s12dxer ..... so, you should get them s00n

Has anyone had Rivian offer any real status on their title, tag, reg?

If I recall correctly, people have said this is how Tesla operated at one point. Is this still Tesla's MO for this process (maybe SOP for direct, remote sale model) or have they matured out of it?

Plates and registration showed up today from RegUSA, with one day to spare on the temp

Just got my plates yesterday. Title still hasn’t shown up
GA E-drive will show you if they have received anything yet. I took delivery a few days prior to you - so maybe s00n
Also, on the registration, looks like there was a large penalty for late filing

Same. My bank was threatening that I was in breach of contract because they don’t have the title…. I just gave them my guides contact info.

Still waiting though.. temp plates expire next week and DMV still hasn’t issued registration.

When I bought my Tesla in 2016, it took over a month for them to issue the title (in Ohio) and FedEx it to me. It was then up to me to go to the Secretary of State (DMV) to reissue the title in Michigan and get a plate. It's nice to see Rivian is handling the whole process themselves, even if it does take longer than it should.

Has anyone else still not gotten title, registration, tags, etc? Almost 3 months here with my temp tag expiring next week. My guide "escalated" it last week then went on vacation and I haven't heard anything. After 2 hours on hold with Florida DMV, they confirmed nothing has been submitted for me or this VIN.

At the least I need a new temp tag, and Rivian doesn't seem to care or acknowledge this. Can we just get a bill of sale from them and do it ourselves?

Still waiting too, my guide assures me this has upper managements attention but still no resolution. My temps expire next week.

Checked my mail today and had a moment of joy when I saw a letter from my DMV... nope its the state DMV wanting to know what it going on and needing documentation from me.

Through it all, the delay after delay, the "service suspension soon" warning, the never getting a test drive or even an opportunity to see a vehicle in person, little things like the Otter Box for your keys is just for some Launch Edition buyers (not all of us) and influencers, but this just burns me. This is either being lazy or incompetent. All you have to do is process the paperwork like you said you would. That's it. finish your work each day, start fresh the next day. Its frustrating, and I could have handled this myself weeks ago.

i got my reg and title yesterday California plates. 4 weeks after purchase.

Apparently mine was kicked back for insuring in a different state. Rivian did not include the military exemption packet I emphasized multiple times to include. Cool

Edit with update regarding additional temp tag:
"I shared it with my Title & Registration team. So far, they have mentioned additional temporary tags could not be provided."

GOOD LUCK OUT THERE, Y'ALL

This just in... My guide just called to tell me that they're just now determining that the virtual notary stuff we did day of delivery is N/A in NC. So, essentially, the process hasn't even started now 79 days in, 13 days until temps expire.

He offered a couple of courses. The most expeditious is to get all the paperwork from the processor, send it to me and then I go to the DMV to do all the heavy lifting myself. Oh, and pay all the taxes and fees again while they send me a refund for that in 4-8 weeks.

Wow. Just wow. What I'm really psyched about is that I think the chances of them getting and sending everything in the timeframe they say they will is practically zero. And same chance that what they send will be sufficient for NC DMV.

I'm going to request to do this, get all the paperwork and do it myself, and be refunded for all the trash and registration fees. It's bullshit and now I'm pissed, 5 days until my temp tag expires with no way to get legal. When I raised concerns about it going slow because my unique situation, I was specifically told "oh they'll just get another temp tag if it drags on."

Seems a bit of a shitshow with the third party vendor they are using. I realize they are trying to be helpful, but I would have preferred to just take the vehicle purchase contract to DMV and do it myself.



My local DMV actually has has sloth mascot ?. Gotta love self-deprecating humor.
