The guides don’t always know what’s on the vehicle and the service centers are swamped prepping for delivery. Make sure everything is listed on your paperwork and you should be fine. If not installed at delivery, Rivian will eventually set up install.

Speaking of more Tesla news, a local tv station I’m St Louis discovered the Tesla service center in Chesterfield had to rent a mall parking lot to park hundreds of vehicles, including dozens of cyber trucks. These are all new vehicle...
Just for some general knowledge, when leasing, a traditional dealer will typically try to get the sale to a certain monthly price based on a certain term. They then work backwards to figure out the money down to figure out where the residual will land. With many automakers, on a 36-48mo lease...

What is your real, based on facts and statistical data, source for your information and the quality of the glass compared to other OEM's? Going by your profile you don't own a Rivian.
