I picked up my R1T from the Denver service center on Friday and thought I would share my timeline and 8-step process experience with everybody. 11/2/2021 – Order Placed (estimated Q4-2022) 4/15/2022 – First Mile Mobile Drive 6/11/2022 – Email from Rivian: Estimated delivery November...

After picking up my truck last week, I now understand how they are doing the registration. At pickup, I signed a power of attorney granting them the authority to register the truck on my behalf. I knew a dealership could not register a vehicle for an individual in Colorado, so the POA explains...

A glitch would not be unexpected.

The preliminary buyer's agreement is no longer part of the purchase process. I did not go through it last week when I picked up my truck, and Rivian has stated it has eliminated that step. May 18th email from Rivian " With the ability to confirm your configuration directly from your Account...

They are not doing the preliminary buyer's agreement anymore.

I pick up my truck tomorrow and yes it sucked going through the purchase process. It was a huge headache. It was a week long headache vs. a 4 hour headache at a traditional dealer. The Rivian method was far far far far far worse. That being said, I'd still choose direct to consumer vs giving...

I was there on Sunday. Definitely no R1S. They had about 12 or so R1Ts sitting outside.

I ran into problematic chargers all the time back in 2016 when I bought my i3. It's a shame that this is still an issue.

There were three line items ending in "use tax vendor fee" totaling about $110. When a retailer (Rivian) collects sales tax from a customer (you), the retailer (Rivian) is entitled to a "vendor fee." The state essentially allows the vendor (Rivian) to keep a portion of the sales tax charged to...

If they don't have it worked out, just explain the situation and they should remove the registration fee. They had no problem removing it for me.

Really bizzare. Who did the plates come from?

Hi all, the below link shows what the process should be in each state. Tesla has this figured out. I am going through the purchase process now and I had to call them out on it. In Colorado, you do NOT pay the dealer for the registration fees (which are substantial in CO - about $1400), but they...

This is all definitely a Rivian issue. I am going through the purchase process right now and I had to correct some errors they were going to make. If you want to see the process for registration in your state, Tesla has it figured out at the link below. Rivian is not following the proper...

Rates were about $1200 per year higher than my current carrier, but the quote process was easy.

Well, as a data point for the group, Rivian agreed to remove the registration fees from my total purchase price after I pushed them on it. I really don't think they can/should collect the registration fee in Colorado. Every state is different. Below is what Tesla says about Colorado, which is...

Well, there is the matter of sales tax and registration fees. If you pay sales taxes out of state, you will receive a credit when you go to register the vehicle and only pay the difference. The registration fees are an entirely different story. When you register you pay any unpaid taxes plus the...

Did you pay Rivian the registration fees, or did you pay the DMV?

Do any of you with an R1T have your license plates yet? Did you pay Rivian for the registration fee, or did you pay the DMV when you got your plates? Rivian is attempting to charge me the 1st year registration fees of approx. $1400 indicating that they will register it for me. I was unware that...

Did your purchase summary show registration fees?

Did you get resolution? I just got my "final numbers" today. The sales tax rate was correct, but they are charging three line items called "state use tax vendor fee." These lines are absolutely 100% incorrect. In fact, they represent such a fundamental misunderstanding of sales tax law that...
