Will I be the only Rivian in New England?

[RivianNE]

Delivery scheduled for the 13 but I feel like something is going to go wrong with the paperwork. I am doing the registration myself, anyone doing the same?

I'll bet $20 bucks it's your 20" tires....

I’ll take that bet. I switched back to 20” yesterday afternoon. It was set to 21” for the prior two weeks. Also had BM interior set. Since none of that helped, I’m just going back to what I really want

Take a ride to Chelsea and see what they have on the lot to get an idea of what the factory is putting out. As long as you aren’t looking for something off the wall (white with white…) stick to your guns so that you won’t be disappointed when you keep running into the configuration that you really wanted!

Eh, it's fine. I'm frustrated mostly because A: I'd like to get into tier 1 of the MA MOR-EV rebate and B: I have a few camping/road trips around New England this summer where the Rivian would be 100x better than my Model 3. I've been stressing myself out over the past month+ trying to find the "right" configuration so maybe I'd get a call, and it just hasn't worked, so I'm giving up. I'll set the build I want and if I happen to get an invite to the R1 shop before my truck is available, great, maybe there's something there I'll like.

I was in the same position. I did compromise on interior exterior color but wasn’t willing to compromise with the AT tires. I managed to get one from the shop with underbody shield. So there is hope.

I ordered about a month before you and originally had July - September. Then revised to August- September. But I am finally taking delivery tomorrow.

Congrats and I hope you enjoy the shit out of your truck

Same here. I switched to 21s in the hopes of a miracle, but that is highly unlikely and if it happened I'd just be jumping the line in front of all you guys who deserve trucks before me. I'm resigned to getting mine in 2023 and plan to switch back to the 20s, which is what I wanted all along. I'm holding out hope that there will still be some spots in tier 1 of MOR-EV at that point, but not holding my breath.

The bright side is that tiers 2 and 3 are still a decent rebate. I have no clue how many spots are available in each, though

Finally got contacted by the delivery team! They're telling me I need to go to the RMV to self-register though .

I assume you are transferring plates? I gave them the info for my insurance company and they are doing the RMV work for me.

They said that if I wanted them to do the RMV work for me that it would delay delivery by 2 weeks.

They asked me the same thing. Going to the RMV early next week. I don’t mind that much if it makes the process faster.

I've just changed to new plates instead of transferring. My guide told me it would be quicker.

I'm also changing to new plates and this is the process they've told me for that.

Right now I'm just waiting on Rivian insurance to run a quote for me. I could pretty easily add it to my existing insurance, but I'm told that in the future, if you need to file a total-loss claim and have Rivian insurance, that you'll be able to get prioritized for a new vehicle rather than going to the back of the line again (and needing to purchase something else in the meantime). They don't have this perk now, but they're working through the process to have it (so they say). That'd be a pretty strong perk if the price isn't too different from what I'd pay through my existing insurance.
