What's your configuration and service center in Socal?
Forest Green Adventure Pack, 21" Road tires and BM interior. Add ons are the racks and spare tire.

Service center will be El Segundo.

Why not give customers the option of a factory delivery? You could get a factory tour and lunch with AJ.
It’s already an option, on what seems to be a case by case basis. Lots of threads here from people doing factory pickup.

who’s AJ?

curious. What’s your VIN range? Mine is in the 9100 - my guide told me it is rolling off the line now and will be in transport, but then I saw on Reddit someone saying they are in the 9400 range and their truck was already at the service center, so I’m a little confused on where the truck is lol.

Pretty sure he means RJ.


My biggest reservation with doing a factory drop is what if I get 200 miles home and it dies (I've seen a few in this forum so it's not impossible). Now I have to wait for Rivian to come find me AND potentially fly home or stay weeks until they fix the issue.

I really like the factory idea, but I'm now paranoid. Thanks RivianForums.

You're going to be shocked, my VIN is in the low 6### range. Idk how I got a 6### and have it manufactured only last Friday.

You are correct-RJ. Bloody auto correct! Life is full of risks, mate. Same thing could happen if you got the car delivered and went 200 miles somewhere and got stuck. I'd be first in line for a factory delivery. Not sure why it's so random.

Look at the bright side, it won’t be taking a trip on the Felicity Ace, or any of the other Aces.

The answer is that it wasn't manufactured last Friday...

I paid and finished all the steps on Monday the 11th. My guide call was the 12th and she approved my DL and bank check photo. That put me at 7/8 fully complete. She told me the truck was completed vin# 85xx and waiting to load onto a rail car for shipping to the Costa Mesa service center. Today she told me it is in transit on the rail car and she expects it to arrive on July 30th at Costa Mesa, CA.

A few days to do the PDC and deliver it on a flat bed to the house.

I'm 87xx and it's not at the SC yet.

I’m also in CA - El Segundo SC. I completed 6 of 8 steps on 7/12 and was told my truck is coming by train as well - up to 18 days which lines up with 7/30. My VIN is 83XX so I guess there are a bunch of trucks in IL waiting on a train to CA. I did look at a satellite image of the Rivian plant and the tracks are right off the back where the trucks roll off the line. I think the actual transit time on the train is about 5 or 6 days to LA versus about 3 by road, so might be a chance they get here early, but more likely Rivian is waiting for more trucks to complete before departing.

Ah yeah. Reading through a few comments here, sounds like there's a train full of Rivian's heading to CA soon. :please:
