New Rivian Service Center Map - Including Future Locations

[Guy]

I can only speculate - it would really take a lawyer with knowledge of NJ code to give a proper answer. That's not me. The S-1 is more than a year old, so it's quite possible the situation has changed or that Rivian has found a loophole it can exploit in NJ.

My GUESS is that the specifics of NJ law allow automobile dealers to open service centers, but don't allow an out-of-state non-dealer manufacturer to do the same. If this is the case, Rivian can get around the restrictions by becoming a dealer in NJ. This seems to be allowed under the Tesla exception, which permits Tesla to open up to 4 (?) dealerships in the state. So I can imagine that Rivian will be allowed to provide service as a dealer, but only if it has dealerships. That would imply these new locations in NJ are going to be more like Venice, with a "showroom" so that they qualify as dealerships. This is pure speculation, so don't start repeating this without attribution.

I am glad to see NJ has one near Trenton as that helps me in the Philly suburbs. Hope to see this in the next year.

I think one in Trenton would cut my drive down by at least half (from 2.5 hours to Brooklyn to about 1.25 hours), and about $50 round trip in tolls. Plus a there and home trip could be done without needing to charge.

Do service centers have chargers as well? Seems like they could kill 2 birds with one stone in these locations.

Looks like Rivian also updated the Service Center maps, including future locations. Of course, those locations don't have dates.

I hope that by the time my order is built and arrives that this center is open. Having to drive 100+ miles to Richmond, VA isn't ideal. You'd think that a center in the suburbs of Washington, DC would have been no brainer. At least, Northern VA!

The Plymouth, MI SC has a Level 3 charger. Also not open to the public. But they were nice enough to top my truck off when I was picking it up right before a road trip.

Curious where the new SC in TX will be

My state (Iowa) has no plans for a service center and is not on the 'legally unavailable' list. I am equally 3.5 hours away from the factory and the upcoming Omaha location - that's not great but at least it's not so far that they won't sell me a vehicle.

Des Moines is a big enough place to support a service center that could cover the entire state. Tesla has one.

I hope the one shown for Milwaukee is as far west is as possible.

Same here when I stopped to say hi to them during the cross country trip

It’s one in Houston (NE) side but back in May it was under construction

 

[Lizardo]

Map makes it look like San Antonio

They started to build SA office after May. The info about Houston SC I’ve received from Aaron ((Rivian guide) at that time when I transitioned to San Antonio
