Home Delivery is Rivian's stated preferred method, so I wouldn't expect to drive anywhere to pick it up.Live 45 minutes from the factory so hope they allow factory pickup as it'll take me about 2 hours more of driving to pick up from their closest retail location in Chicago.
Yeah me too!Hey, if paint color choice impacts delivery timing, then I'll take my R1T in Amazon blue-gray if it comes sooner!
My guess is that the first R1T's built will be Launch Green. Else why call it Launch Green?Hey, if paint color choice impacts delivery timing, then I'll take my R1T in Amazon blue-gray if it comes sooner!
Unless you live in one of these yellow or red states. Then it really doesn’t matter where you are on the queue or version you picked. If your state doesn’t allow direct sales, things will get messy for a bunch of us.Home Delivery is Rivian's stated preferred method, so I wouldn't expect to drive anywhere to pick it up.
Protectionism at work. Thankfully I’m in Florida. I’m pretty sure Texas has an easy workaround.Unless you live in one of these yellow or red states.

Home Delivery is how they get around no direct sales. The sale is completed electronically in a state that allows direct sales, most likely Illinois in Rivian's case, and is then delivered to your home by a third party carrier. You have no direct contact with Rivian in your home state, therefore they are not violating any rules.Unless you live in one of these yellow or red states.

Correct... and there is no shortage of Tesla cars here in TX. I do find it somewhat ironic that Tesla is building a new gigafactory down near Austin and still can't sell direct in the state.Home Delivery is how they get around no direct sales.

Yes and no. Some states, like WA, doesn’t even allow car manufacturers, like Rivian, to deliver at home. In my case, I would have to go to Oregon or Idaho to pick it up at a designated location. The problem though is that if that ended up being the case, that means there is no representation at my state, or service center, therefore is kinda risky for Rivian to deliver. In other words, if WA takes time to pass the bill I will have to wait.Home Delivery is how they get around no direct sales.
